Editor’s Choice The authors retrospectively studied clinical and radiologic data of 333 consecutive patients with aneurysmal SAH between January 2009 and December 2011. Adjusted odds ratios werecalculated for the association between automatically quantified total blood volume on NCCT and delayed
Editor’s Choice Eleven patients underwent subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation. DTI and high-resolution T1- and T2-weighted MRI were performed at 3T. The electrode positions and current amplitudes that elicited corticospinal tract effects during the operation were studied to determine relative
Editor’s Choice Bookend perfusion was used to quantify parameters in normal-appearing and lesional tissue at different relapsing-remitting MS stages in 39 patients and 19 age-matched healthy controls. Perfusion parameters such as CBF, CBV, and MTT were compared along with cognitive
Editor’s Choice The authors’ hypothesis is that incorporating bidirectional contrast agent transport into the DSC MR imaging signal model will improve rCBV estimates in brain tumors. A unidirectional contrast agent extravasation model (Boxerman-Weisskoff) was compared with a bidirectional contrast agent
Editor’s Choice The authors analyzed all carotid artery dissection tandem occlusion strokes and isolated anterior circulation occlusions from their ongoing prospective stroke data base. For carotid artery dissection, the revascularization procedure consisted of initial distal recanalization by a stent retriever
Editor’s Choice Twenty-one patients with MS and 21 patients with neuromyelitis optica underwent 7T high-resolution 2D-gradient-echo-T2* and 3D-susceptibility-weighted imaging. An in-house-developed algorithm was used to reconstruct quantitative susceptibility mapping from SWI. Of the patients with MS, 19 (90.5%) demonstrated at
Editor’s Choice The authors evaluated fiber bundle orientations from DTI and diffusional kurtosis compared with diffusion spectrum imaging as a criterion standard to assess the performance of each technique. DTI, diffusional kurtosis imaging, and diffusion spectrum imaging datasets were acquired
Editor’s Choice This study investigated whether diffusion tensor imaging tractography-based connectome can differentiate global developmental delay from speech delay in young children. Twelve children with pure speech delay, 14 children with global developmental delay, and 10 children with typical development
Editor’s Choice The authors assessed correlations among baseline perfusion and arterial transit time artifacts, cerebrovascular reactivity, and the presence of collateral vessels on digital subtraction angiography. Arterial spin-labeling MRI and DSA were compared with BOLD MR imaging measures of hypercapnic
Editor’s Choice SyMRI is a quantitative synthetic MR imaging method where a single saturation recovery TSE sequence is used to estimate the proton density, longitudinal relaxation rate, and transverse relaxation rate and allows for a free range of synthetic weightings.
