Editor’s Choice The authors evaluated 17 patients with stroke who underwent brain diffusional kurtosis imaging within 4 days after the onset of symptoms. Neurologic evaluation included the Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity Motor scale in the acute phase and 3 months poststroke.
Editor’s Choice The authors evaluated 37 journal articles that included 985 patients with MS who had MR imaging in which T1-weighted postcontrast sequences were compared with noncontrast sequences obtained during the same MR imaging examination by using ROI analysis of
Editor’s Choice Eighteen healthy right-handed volunteers were prospectively evaluated with resting-state fMRI and task-based fMRI to assess language networks. The laterality indices of Broca and Wernicke areas were calculated by using task-based fMRI via a voxel-value approach. The authors performed
Editor’s Choice The authors performed a prospective multireader, multicase noninferiority trial of 1526 images read by 7 blinded neuroradiologists with prospectively acquired synthetic and conventional brain MR imaging case-control pairs from 109 subjects with neuroimaging indications. Each case included conventional
Editor’s Choice The authors characterized the susceptibility mapping of cortical lesions in patients with MS (n=36) and compared it with neuropathologic observations (n=16). Neuropathologic analysis revealed the presence of an intense band of microglia activation close to the pial membrane
Editor’s Choice The authors examined the neuroimaging findings with a focus on hindbrain herniation and ventricular size in fetuses with open spinal dysraphism and compared them with postnatal imaging features in groups undergoing prenatal-versus-postnatal repair. Thirty-two of 102 (31.3%) fetuses
Editor’s Choice The authors evaluated the potential relationship between thrombus histology and clot stability in 85 patients with anterior circulation stroke treated with thrombectomy. The number and location of emboli after retrieving the primary thrombus, the number of maneuvers, and
Editor’s Choice Ninety-one localized biopsies were obtained from 36 patients with glioblastoma. Signal intensities corresponding to these samples were derived from T1-postcontrast subtraction, T2-FLAIR, and ADC sequences by using an automated coregistration algorithm. Cell density was calculated for each specimen
Editor’s Choice Five patients with brain arteriovenous malformations were studied with flat panel detector CT, DSC-MR imaging, and vessel-encoded pseudocontinuous arterial spin-labeling. Flat panel detector CT, which was originally thought to measure blood volume, correlated more closely with ASL-CBF and
Editor’s Choice Super selective pseudocontinuous arterial spin-labeling with a circular labeling spot enabling selective vessel labeling was added to routine imaging in a prospective pilot study in 50 patients with extracranial steno-occlusive disease. The detected vessel occlusions/stenoses and perfusion patterns
