Fellows’ Journal Club The authors retrospectively evaluated 109 fetuses within 25 weeks of gestational age who had undergone both prenatal and postnatal MR imaging of the brain between 2002 and 2014, and using the postnatal MRI as the reference standard,
Fellows’ Journal Club Twenty-one patients with previously stented recurrent aneurysms who later underwent Pipeline Embolization Device placement (group 1) were retrospectively identified and compared with 63 patients who had treatment with the Pipeline with no prior stent placement (group 2).
Fellows’ Journal Club Eight symptomatic patients with Chiari I malformation and 6 healthy participants were studied by using MR pencil beam imaging with a temporal resolution of 50 ms. Patients and healthy participants were scanned in real-time during resting, coughing,
Fellows’ Journal Club In this retrospective case-control study, the authors evaluated lumbar spine MR imagings during a 30-month period that were requested for the evaluation of discitis-osteomyelitis. Fifty age-matched control patients were compared with 51 biopsy-proved or clinically diagnosed patients
Fellows’ Journal Club VOI C-arm CT images were obtained in 28 patients undergoing endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms and the VOI images were reconstructed by using a novel prototype reconstruction algorithm to minimize truncation artifacts from double collimation. The reconstruction
Please check out the accompanying podcast of this blog post (discussion of this article begins at 8:30) Glioblastoma is a heterogeneous group of cancers, genetically, molecularly and characteristically on imaging studies. Prior studies have supported the relationship between tumor location
Fellows’ Journal Club Seven giant intracranial aneurysms were evaluated, and 2 aneurysms were available for histopathologic examination. Aneurysm walls were depicted as hypointense in TOF-MRA and SWI sequences with excellent contrast ratios to adjacent brain parenchyma. A triple-layered microstructure of
Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comment The authors evaluated patients who underwent oblique interlaminar-approach fluoroscopy-guided lumbar punctures and had cross-sectional imaging of the lumbar spine within 1 year of the lumbar puncture to devise a formula for the appropriate needle length
Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comment MRIs from 18 patients with confirmed tubulin mutations and 15 patients with mutations of the genes encoding microtubule-associated proteins were evaluated. The patients with tubulin gene mutations were found to have cortical and subcortical abnormalities
Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comment This is a comprehensive group of guidelines for imaging patients with demyelinating disease, from an international group of neurologists and radiologists. Suggestions for MR imaging protocols are given for the brain, for surveillance imaging for
