MR angiography of peripheral arterial disease of the distal legs: is time resolved MRA (TRICKS) necessary?
The TRICKS sequence can be added to standard MRA for pre-therapeutic evaluation of distal arteries in patients with peripheral arterial disease, especially with chronic ischemic with rest pain and/or trophic changes.
Primary OMM carries a poor prognosis. Early identification of OMM and its treatment by radical surgery comprise the single most important treatment strategy. Any pigmented lesion in the oral cavity not clearly clinically amenable to diagnosis should be excised for histologic confirmation. Analysis of the lymph node status, supplemented by sonography or other imaging, and postoperative histologic evaluation of the size and depth should be performed routinely. In cases in which the mucosal melanoma may not be the primary site, all potential primary sites should be examined.
