Variability of T2-Relaxation Times of Healthy Lumbar Intervertebral Discs is More Homogeneous within an Individual Than across Healthy Individuals

Fellows’ Journal Club Using prospectively acquired T2-relaxometry data from 606 intervertebral discs in 101 volunteers without back pain in a narrow age range (25–35 years), the authors calculated intra- and intersubject variation in T2 times of IVDs graded by 2

Monro-Kellie Hypothesis: Increase of Ventricular CSF Volume after Surgical Closure of a Spinal Dural Leak in Patients with Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension

Fellows’ Journal Club Nineteen patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension with a proved spinal CSF leak were investigated between July 2014 and 2017. Brain MR imaging-based volumetry at baseline and after surgery was performed with FreeSurfer. In addition, the spontaneous intracranial

MRI Findings of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor–Induced Hypophysitis: Possible Association with Fibrosis

Fellows’ Journal Club This retrospective international multicenter study comprised 20 patients with melanoma who were being treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and clinically diagnosed with immune checkpoint inhibitor–induced hypophysitis. Three radiologists evaluated the following MR imaging findings: enlargement of the

Predictors of Favorable Outcome after Endovascular Thrombectomy in MRI: Selected Patients with Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors analyzed consecutive MR imaging–selected patients with acute basilar artery occlusions endovascularly treated within the first 24 hours after symptom onset. Successful and complete reperfusion was defined as modified TICI scores 2b–3 and 3, respectively. Outcome
