    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: We present two cases of diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectum that invaded the pelvic structures. METHODS: Two young women suffering from intermittent rectal bleeding were studied using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: Beside the rectal hemangioma, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the pelvic ureter and the iliac vessels were each eroded by the tumor that produced symptoms in these two patients. CONCLUSION: Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging permit direct visualization for tumor staging and also for recognition of any pelvic structure invasion, which facilitate preoperative assessment of diffuse cavernous hemangioma of the rectum.

    Notes: Abstract  Objective. To assess hyaline cartilage of cadaveric ankles using different magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques and various methods of measurement. Design and patients. Cartilage thicknesses of the talus and tibia were measured in ten cadaveric ankles by naked eye and by digitized image analysis from MR images of fat-suppressed T1-weighted gradient recalled (FS-SPGR), sequences and pulsed transfer saturation sequences with (FS-STS) and without fat-suppression (STS); these measurements were compared with those derived from direct inspection of cadaveric sections. The accuracy and precision errors were evaluated statistically for each imaging technique as well as measuring method. Contrast-to-noise ratios of cartilage versus joint fluid and marrow were compared for each of the imaging sequences. Results. Statistically, measurements from FS-SPGR images were associated with the smallest estimation error. Precision error of measurements derived from digitized image analysis was found to be smaller than that derived from naked eye measurements. Cartilage thickness measurements in images from STS and FS-STS sequences revealed larger errors in both accuracy and precision. Interobserver variance was larger in naked eye assessment of the cartilage. Contrast-to-noise ratio of cartilage versus joint fluid and marrow was higher with FS-SPGR than with FS-STS or STS sequences. Conclusion. Of the sequences and measurement techniques studied, the FS-SPGR sequence combined with the use of digitized image analysis provides the most accurate method for the assessment of ankle hyaline cartilage.
