Fellows’ Journal Club June 2014 (2 of 3) Cerebral venous oxygenation was assessed during apnea and hyperventilation with SWI in healthy male volunteers. Signal changes were seen during apnea and especially during hyperventilation. Thus, SWI may be a simple noninvasive
Fellows’ Journal Club June 2014 (1 of 3) Patients studied for acute stroke were evaluated with full- and half-dose contrast-enhanced neck MRA and brain perfusion imaging and results were compared. Detection specificity and overestimation of stenoses were slightly higher for
Fellows’ Journal Club May 2014 (3 of 3) This study retrospectively evaluates whether ligamentous injury or disk disruption after spinal cord injury correlates with lesion length. Length of lesion, disk disruption, ligamentous injury association, and extent of spinal cord injury
Fellows’ Journal Club May 2014 (2 of 3) A sample of 21 patients with sickle cell disease were assessed with SWI and compared with controls. The MRI findings were correlated with hematologic parameters. Venous volumes were lower in the SCD
Fellows’ Journal Club May 2014 (1 of 3) The role of the EPI-FLAIR sequence in patients with acute stroke was evaluated. A total of 52 patients with acute stroke were studied with conventional FLAIR and EPI-FLAIR imaging and quality and
Fellows’ Journal Club April 2014 (3 of 3) Controversy about the best treatment method for MCA aneurysms persists and these authors report the results of endovascular treatment of these lesions in a large series in which 295 such aneurysms were
Fellows’ Journal Club April 2014 (2 of 3) These authors analyzed data on 131 non-selected MCA aneurysms treated during a 6-year period. One month after treatment, permanent morbidity and mortality was 3.3% without significant differences according to technique used. The
Fellows’ Journal Club April 2014 (1 of 3) The implications of the reversal of DWI abnormalities in patients with TIA and minor strokes were assessed. Patients were imaged within 24 hours of symptoms and followed for 3 months and baseline
Fellows’ Journal Club March 2014 (3 of 3) The long-term complications of coil treatment of giant intracranial aneurysms were assessed in 334 instances when treatment consisted of only coiling (225), stent-assisted coiling (88), parent vessel occlusion (14), or balloon-assisted coiling
