Deep-Learning Convolutional Neural Networks Accurately Classify Genetic Mutations in Gliomas

Editor’s Choice MR imaging data and molecular information were retrospectively obtained from The Cancer Imaging Archives for 259 patients with either low- or high-grade gliomas. A convolutional neural network was trained to classify IDH1 mutation status, 1p/19q codeletion, and MGMT promotor methylation status. Classification

Multisite Concordance of DSC-MRI Analysis for Brain Tumors: Results of a National Cancer Institute Quantitative Imaging Network Collaborative Project

Editor’s Choice DSC-MR imaging data were collected after a preload and during a bolus injection of gadolinium contrast agent using a gradient recalled-echo-EPI sequence. Forty-nine low-grade and high-grade glioma datasets were uploaded to The Cancer Imaging Archive. Datasets included a

Localized Marked Elongation of the Distal Internal Carotid Artery with or without PHACE Syndrome: Segmental Dolichoectasia of the Distal Internal Carotid Artery

Editor’s Choice Intracranial dolichoectasia of the distal ICA was identified in 20 patients from 2005–2016 through a review of diagnostic cerebral angiography results. Images were reviewed to determine the vascular morphologic dispositions around the distal ICA, including dysplasia, mural calcification,

Brain MRI Characteristics of Patients with Anti-N-Methyl-D-Aspartate Receptor Encephalitis and Their Associations with 2-Year Clinical Outcome

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors enrolled 53 patients with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor encephalitis and performed 2-year follow-up. Brain MRIs were acquired for all patients at the onset phase. The brain MR imaging manifestations were classified into 4 types—type 1: normal MR

HARMless: Transient Cortical and Sulcal Hyperintensity on Gadolinium-Enhanced FLAIR after Elective Endovascular Coiling of Intracranial Aneurysms

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors conducted a retrospective review of 58 patients with 62 MR imaging studies performed within 72 hours following endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Patient demographics, aneurysm location, and vascular territory distribution of cortical and sulcal hyperintensity

Evaluation of the Sensitivity of Inhomogeneous Magnetization Transfer (ihMT) MRI for Multiple Sclerosis

Editor’s Choice Twenty-five patients with relapsing-remitting MS and 20 healthy volunteers were enrolled in a prospective study with a protocol including anatomic imaging, standard magnetization transfer, and inhomogeneous magnetization transfer imaging. Magnetization transfer and inhomogeneous magnetization transfer ratios measured in
