    Purpose: In this study, our purpose was to investigate the diagnostic efficacy of the dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method in the patients with bile duct obstruction. Materials and methods: 108 consecutive patients (53 men, 55 women, mean age; 55.77 ± 14.62, range 18-86 years) were included in this study. All the patients underwent conventional upper abdomen MRI using intravenous contrast material (Gd-DTPA) and MRCP in 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner. MRCP images were evaluated together with the T1 and T2w images, and both biliary ducts and surrounding tissues were examined for possible pathologies that may cause obstruction. Results: MRI/MRCP findings compared with final diagnoses, MRI/MRCP in the demonstration of bile duct obstruction sensitivity 96%, the specificity 100%, and accuracy 96.3%, in the detection of presence and level of obstruction, the sensitivity 96.7%, specificity 100%, and accuracy 97.2%, in the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis, the sensitivity 82.3%, specificity 96%, and accuracy 91.7%, and in the determination of the character of the stenosis, sensitivity 95.6%, specificity 91.3%, and accuracy 94.5% were found. Conclusion: The combination of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and MRCP techniques in patients with suspected biliary obstruction gives the detailed information about the presence of obstruction, location, and causes and is a highly specific and sensitive method.

    MRI and MR Spectroscopy Features of Heat Stroke: A Case Report
    (2018-07-01) Yilmaz, TEMEL FATİH; Aralasmak, AYŞE; Toprak, HÜSEYİN; GULER, Serhat; Tüzün, Umit; Alkan, ALPAY; YILMAZ, TEMEL FATİH; ARALAŞMAK, AYŞE; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN; ALKAN, ALPAY
    Heat stroke is the outcome of over heat stress that results in multiorgan dysfunction with a tendency for central nervous system damage. Brain is very sensitive to hyperthermia, especially the cerebellum that has selective vulnerability to heat stroke. There is complex interaction between heat cytotoxicity, coagulation disorder, cytotoxine - mediated systemic inflammatory response causing multiorgan failure, metabolic derangement, and circulatory insufficiency. We reviewed the literature and discussed brain MRI and MR spectroscopy findings of heat stroke, detailed the pathophysiology underlying brain involvement and proposed excitotoxic injury as an alternative mechanism of brain damage in heat stroke.

    (2022-01-01T00:00:00Z) YILMAZ, TEMEL FATİH; OTÇU TEMUR, HAFİZE; SARI, LÜTFULLAH; GÜCİN, ZÜHAL; GÜLTEKİN, MEHMET ALİ; ÇELİK YABUL, FATMA; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN; YILDIZ, ŞEYMA; YILMAZ, TEMEL FATİH; OTÇU TEMUR, HAFİZE; SARI, LÜTFULLAH; GÜCİN, ZÜHAL; GÜLTEKİN, MEHMET ALİ; ÇELİK YABUL, FATMA; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN; YILDIZ, ŞEYMA
    To evaluate breast MRI and DWI and demographic features of pleomorphic invasive lobular carcinoma (pILC) and classic invasive lobular carcinoma (cILC). Invasive lobular (ILC) is the second most common breast malignancy after invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and constitutes the 8-14% of all invasive breast cancers. ILC morphologically can be classified into the classic, alveolar, solid, tubulolobular, and pleomorphic subtypes according to WHO. This study was performed retrospectively. The MRI and demographic features of 18 patients with 23 pILC were compared with those 22 consecutive patients with 27 cILC. There was no significant difference in demographic features of patients, MR appearance, kinetics, and ADC values between two groups. pILC, an aggressive subtype of ILC, cannot be differentiated from cILC with breast MRI.

    Diagnostic performance of apparent diffusion coefficient values for the differentiation of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma from gastrointestinal adenocarcinoma liver metastases
    (2021-12-22T00:00:00Z) Yilmaz, TEMEL FATİH; Gultekin, Mehmet Ali; Turk, Hacı Mehmet; Cesme, Dilek Hacer; Besiroglu, Mehmet; Simsek, Melih; Toprak, Huseyin; Alkan, ALPAY; YILMAZ, TEMEL FATİH; TÜRK, HACI MEHMET; ÇEŞME, DİLEK HACER; ŞİMŞEK, MELİH; ALKAN, ALPAY; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN
    Background: We aimed to investigate whether there is a difference between intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) and liver metastases of gastrointestinal system (GIS) adenocarcinoma in terms of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. Patients and methods: From January 2018 to January 2020, we retrospectively examined 64 consecutive patients with liver metastases due to gastrointestinal system adenocarcinomas and 13 consecutive IHCC in our hospital's medical records. After exclusions, fifty-three patients with 53 liver metastases and 10 IHCC were included in our study. We divided the patients into two groups as IHCC and liver metastases of GIS adenocarcinoma. For mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCmean) values, the region of interests (ROI) was placed in solid portions of the lesions. ADCmean values of groups were compared. Results: The mean age of IHCC group was 62.50 ± 13.49 and mean age of metastases group was 61.15 ± 9.18. ADCmean values were significantly higher in the IHCC group compared to the metastatic group (p < 0.001). ROC curves method showed high diagnostic accuracy (AUC = 0.879) with cut-off value of < 1178 x 10-6 mm2/s for ADCmean (Sensitivity = 90.57, Specificity = 70.0, positive predictive value [PPV] = 94.1, negative predictive value [NPV] = 58.3) in differentiating adenocarcinoma metastases from IHCC. Conclusions: The present study results suggest that ADC values have a potential role for differentiation between IHCC and GIS adenocarcinoma liver metastases which may be valuable for patient management.

    Prenatal diagnosis of mediastinal neurenteric cyst: a case report and review of the literature
    (2018-10-01) Cay, ALİ; Aydogdu, Ibrahim; Mirapoglu, Semih Lutfu; Toprak, HÜSEYİN; ÇAY, ALI; AYDOĞDU, İBRAHİM; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN
    Neurenteric cyst is a very rare developmental anomaly. Prenatal diagnosis of mediastinal neurenteric cysts has been reported rarely. We present a case of neurenteric cyst associated with vertebral anomalies diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography at 31 weeks of gestation, which was treated successfully in the early neonatal period. In addition, we searched the English literature for all cases of mediastinal neurenteric cyst diagnosed in the prenatal period reported to date. We found that only 17 cases were reported previously. We reviewed the reports of these 17 patients along with our case, and we investigated the prenatal and postnatal diagnosis and treatment approaches and the factors influencing the prognosis. Fetuses with mediastinal neurenteric cysts should be monitored regularly by ultrasonography. Fetuses with no signs of hydrops are more likely to survive with proper neonatal center transfer, regular follow-up, and appropriate postnatal approach. Fetuses with hydrops findings have a high risk of fetal and neonatal death.

    Ultrasound and Doppler US in Evaluation of Superficial Soft-tissue Lesions.
    (2014-02-27) Toprak, HÜSEYİN; KILIÇ, ERKAN; SERTER, ASLI; KOCAKOÇ, E; OZGOCMEN, SALİH; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN
    Improved developments in digital ultrasound technology and the use of high‑frequency broadband transducers make ultrasound (US) imaging the first screening tool in investigating superficial tissue lesions. US is a safe (no ionizing radiation), portable, easily repeatable, and cheap form of imaging compared to other imaging modalities. US is an excellent imaging modality to determine the nature of a mass lesion (cystic or solid) and its anatomic relation to adjoining structures. Masses can be characterized in terms of their size, number, component, and vascularity with US and Doppler US especially with power Doppler US. US, however, is operator dependent and has a number of artifacts that can result in misinterpretation. In this review, we emphasize the role of ultrasound, particularly power Doppler, in superficial soft‑tissue lesions.

    CT and MRI Findings of Hepatic Involvement in Rendu-Osler-Weber Disease.
    (2012-01-01) Bilgin, MEHMET; Yildiz, S; Toprak, HÜSEYİN; AHMAD, ISSAM CHEIKH; KOCAKOÇ, ERCAN; BİLGİN, MEHMET; YILDIZ, ŞEYMA; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN
    Rendu-Osler-Weber disease is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. Hepatic involvement manifests itself as vascular, parenchymal, and biliary lesions with characteristic telangiectasias and vascular shunts. In a 37-year-old female patient, dynamic contrastenhanced upper abdominal CT and MRI were performed. CT and MRI revealed dilated celiac trunk and hepatic artery. On early arterial phase, dilated hepatic veins showed significant enhancement. On arterial and portal venous phases, liver showed significantly heterogeneous contrast enhancement and showed homogenous enhancement in the hepatic parenchymal phase. On the magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, irregular biliary ducts with strictures and dilatation were seen.

    (2015-09-01) Uzer, GÖKÇER; Elmadag, NUH MEHMET; Yildiz, FATİH; Bilsel, Kerem; Erden, TUNAY; Toprak, HÜSEYİN; UZER, GÖKÇER; ELMADAĞ, NUH MEHMET; YILDIZ, FATİH; BİLSEL, İSMAIL KEREM; ERDEN, TUNAY; TOPRAK, HÜSEYİN
    Background: Hip nailing is frequently used to treat unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures (ITF) in elderly patients. In this retrospective study, we compared the functional and radiological results, and the complications, of patients treated using proximal femoral nails (PFN) with an integrated, interlocking, compression lag screw, or two separate lag screws, which allow linear compression at the fracture site. Methods: A total of one hundred and eighteen patients were operated on for AO/OTA 31-A2 ITF between May 2010 and April 2012, and eighty-two of these patients, for whom sufficient follow-up data and documentation were available, were included into the study. PFNs with interlocking, integrated lag screws (Group I) were used in forty-four patients, and PFNs with two separate lag screws (Group II) in thirty-eight. Outcome parameters were the extent of varus collapse and leg length discrepancy on radiographs, and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and Harris hip scores (HHS) as functional results. Results: Mean follow-up duration was 20 months (range, 12-36 months); fractures healed in all patients. Mean varus collapse values were 2.03±5.68° and 5.21±5.27° (p=0.01), Harris hip scores 73.2±11.65 and 74.72±11.15 (p=0.54), and WOMAC scores 70.78±11.41 and 71.78±11.19 (p=0.69) in Groups I and II, respectively. No difference was detected between the groups in terms of outcome parameters or complication rate. Conclusion: In the treatment of ITF, PFNs with an integrated, interlocking, compression lag screw, or two separate lag screws did not differ in terms of functional and radiological results or complication rate.
