Fellows’ Journal Club COVID-19 infection is significantly associated with imaging confirmation of acute ischemic stroke, and patients with COVID-19 should undergo more aggressive monitoring for stroke.
Editor’s Choice The authors used pseudospiral Cartesian undersampling with compressed sensing reconstruction to achieve high spatiotemporal resolution (0.5mm isotropic, ∼30 ms) in a scan time of 10 minutes. They analyzed the repeatability of accelerated 4D-flow scans and compared flow rates,
Editor’s Choice Using the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative dataset, the authors identified 2582 18F-florbetapir PET scans, which were separated into positive and negative cases by using a standardized uptake value ratio threshold of 1.1. They trained convolutional neural networks to
Editor’s Choice The authors investigated the impact of intracortical lesions on the volumes of subcortical structures (especially the thalamus) compared with other lesions in 71 patients with MS. The volumes of intracortical lesions and white matter lesions were identified on
Editor’s Choice In this review, the authors provide an appraisal of the current literature on the physics principles, histopathologic validation, and clinical applications of advanced diffusion techniques in both brains and spinal cords of patients with MS (neurite orientation dispersion
Fellows’ Journal Club In Part I of this study, articles reporting the reliability of CTA up to May 2018 were systematically searched and evaluated. In Part II, 11 raters independently graded 17 arterial segments in each of 50 patients with
Fellows’ Journal Club This study included 520 consecutive patients with a clinical diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke (49.4% men; mean age, 72 years) who underwent CTA to evaluate large-vessel occlusion of the proximal anterior circulation. CTA scans were retrospectively reviewed
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors reviewed 144 adult patients who underwent presurgical evaluation for temporal lobe epilepsy. The reference standard for hippocampal sclerosis was defined by having hippocampal sclerosis on pathology (n=61) or not having hippocampal sclerosis on pathology (n=83).
Editor’s Choice The authors compared vessel wall enhancement after intra-arterial thrombosuction with that in patients not treated by thrombosuction in a group of 49subjects with ischemic stroke with 7T MR imaging within 3 months after symptom onset. In the intra-arterial
Fellows’ Journal Club Multiple sclerosis lesions develop around small veins that are radiologically described as the so-called central vein sign. With 7T MR imaging and magnetic susceptibility-based sequences, the central vein sign has been observed in 80%–100% of MS lesions
