Fellows’ Journal Club Patients with the ACTA2 mutation have distinctive clinical and angiographic features—specifically, a combination of ectasia and stenosis, a straight arterial course, absence of basal collaterals, and more widespread cerebrovascular involvement in comparison with Moyamoya disease. Neuroimaging studies
Fellows’ Journal Club A group of 59 patients with untreated histologically proved T2–T4 oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. Human papillomavirus status was determined by viral DNA detection on tissue samples. MR imaging protocol included T2-weighted, contrast-enhanced T1-weighted, and
Editor’s Choice An intention-to-treat single-center cohort (n= 592) was re-evaluated for all patients in whom no reperfusion could be achieved (n = 63). Baseline characteristics were compared between patients with and without reperfusion failures. After qualitative review of all cases

Fellows’ Journal Club Fifteen male freedivers underwent repetitive 3T pseudocontinuous ASL and 31P-/1H-MR spectroscopy before, during, and after a 5-minute breath-hold (split into early and late phases) and gave temporally matching venous blood gas samples. The spatial coefficient of variation
Fellows’ Journal Club Retrospective review of high-resolution MRIs was performed in patients without prior microvascular decompression. 3D-CISS imaging without and with contrast for 81 patients with trigeminal neuralgia and 15 controls was intermixed and independently reviewed in a blinded fashion.
Fellows’ Journal Club Twenty children (30 imaging sessions, 60 MR scans) with Moyamoya disease underwent dual breath-hold hypercapnic challenge blood oxygen level–dependent MR imaging of cerebrovascular reactivity studies in the same MR imaging session. Within-day, within-subject repeatability of cerebrovascular reactivity
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors performed a retrospective review of 48 patients with cerebral metastases from June 2016 to October 2017. Brain MRIs included gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted IR-FSPGR-BRAVO and CUBE, with subsequent generation of nonoverlapping CUBE MIP and overlapping CUBE MIP.
Fellows’ Journal Club Sixty-six patients with brain tumors were evaluated with resting-state fMRI using seed-based analysis of hand and orofacial motor regions. Rates of supplementary motor area localization were compared with those in healthy controls and with localization results by
Fellows’ Journal Club Thirty-five patients with high-grade, symptomatic intracranial stenosis and poor antegrade flow, treated with intracranial angioplasty without stent placement from January 2010 to December 2016, were retrospectively reviewed. The main outcomes included the changes in antegrade flow and
