Fellows’ Journal Club Ninety-three patients with World Health Organization grade II gliomas with known IDH-mutation and 1p/19q-codeletion status (18 IDH1 wild-type, 45 IDH1-mutant and no 1p/19q codeletion, 30 IDH-mutant and 1p/19q codeleted tumors) underwent DTI. ROIs were drawn on every section of the T2-weighted images
Editor’s Choice Fast macromolecular proton fraction mapping is a recent quantitative MR imaging method for myelin assessment. Macromolecular proton fraction and T2* maps were obtained from 12 healthy controls, 18 patients with relapsing-remitting MS, and 12 patients with secondary-progressive MS
Editor’s Choice Twenty-three patients with relapsing-remitting MS underwent both conventional 3D-FLAIR and compressed sensing 3D-FLAIR on a 3T scanner (reduction in scan time 1 minute 25 seconds, 27%; compressed sensing factor of 1.3). Two blinded readers independently evaluated both conventional
Editor’s Choice Eighty-five consecutive patients who underwent brain dual-energy CT immediately after mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke between August 2013 and January 2017 were included. Two radiologists independently evaluated dual-energy CT images for the presence of parenchymal hyperdensity, iodine
Editor’s Choice This is a retrospective analysis of 59 patients who received only gadobutrol and 60 patients who received only linear gadolinium-based contrast agents. Linear gadolinium-based contrast agents included gadoversetamide, gadobenatedimeglumine, and gadodiamide. T1 signal intensity in the globus pallidus,
Editor’s Choice Nine patients with suspected elevated intracranial pressure and 9 healthy control patients were included in this prospective study. Control patients underwent DENSE MR imaging through the midsagittal brain while patients underwent DENSE MR imaging followed immediately by lumbar
Editor’s Choice Brain atrophy outcomes of 590 patients were analyzed by the percentage brain volume change measured by structural image evaluation with normalization of atrophy on 2D-T1WI and 3D-T1WI and the percentage lateral ventricle volume change, measured by VIENA on
Editor’s Choice Seventeen male athletes (mean age, 16 years) underwent MR imaging before and after the football season. Changes in fractional anisotropy across the white matter skeleton were assessed with Tract-Based Spatial Statistics and ROI analysis. The mean number of
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors evaluated 244 consecutive patients eligible for reperfusion therapy with MCA stroke and pretreatment MR imaging with both FLAIR and PWI. The FLAIR vascular hyperintensity score was based on ASPECTS, ranging from 0 (no FLAIR vascular
Editor’s Choice The authors assessed the reproducibility of 2 automated segmentation software packages (FreeSurfer and the FMRIB Integrated Registration and Segmentation Tool) by quantifying the volume changes of deep GM structures by using back-to-back MR imaging scans from the Alzheimer
