Editor’s Choice The authors applied an optimized TSE T2 sequence to washed postmortem brain samples to reveal exquisite and reproducible brain stem anatomic MR imaging contrast comparable with histologic atlases. Direct TSE MR imaging sequence discrimination of brain stem anatomy
Editor’s Choice Endovascular thrombectomy has proven efficacy for a wide range of patients with large-vessel occlusion stroke and in selected cases up to 24 hours from onset. While primary stroke centers have increased the proportion of patients with stroke receiving
Editor’s Choice Between May 2008 and July 2017, endovascular treatment of 1184 aneurysms in 827 patients was performed in a single institution. Twenty-four percent of these aneurysms were located at the MCA, and 150 unruptured MCA bifurcation aneurysms treated with
Editor’s Choice Forty-two patients with high-grade gliomas were enrolled in this study. The final diagnosis was determined by histopathologic analysis or clinical follow-up. PWI and PET parameters were recorded and compared between patients with recurrence and those with radiation injury
Editor’s Choice Forty patients with MS were prospectively included and scanned (3T) to acquire synthetic MR imaging and conventional FLAIR images. Synthetic FLAIR images were created with the SyMRI software. Acquired data were divided into 30 training and 10 test
Editor’s Choice Thirty-six patients with an initial diagnosis of locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma and diffusional kurtosis imaging acquisitions before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy were enrolled. Patients were divided into respond-versus-nonrespond groups after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and residual-versus-nonresidual groups after radiation therapy.
Editor’s Choice Thirty-five patients with steno-occlusive disease (Moyamoya disease [n = 24], Moyamoya syndrome [n = 3], atherosclerosis [n = 6], vasculitis [n = 1], and idiopathic stenosis [n = 1]) who underwent unilateral brain revascularization using a direct superficial
Editor’s Choice Seventy-seven patients with MS and 44 healthy controls were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. MR imaging investigation included volumetric, diffusion tensor imaging, perfusion weighted imaging, and Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping analyses. Deep gray matter structures were automatically segmented to
Editor’s Choice In a retrospective study, the authors established a system for the detection of intracranial aneurysms from 3D TOF-MRA data. The system is based on an open-source neural network, originally developed for segmentation of anatomic structures in medical images.
Editor’s Choice Thirteen consecutive patients were diagnosed with deep lumbosacral spinal dural arteriovenous fistula at a single center between 2006 and 2018. Paraparesis was present in 12 (92%) patients. Sphincter dysfunction and sensory symptoms were observed in 7 (54%) and
