Editor’s Choice Machine learning algorithms were trained to segment lumbar spinal canal areas on axial views and intervertebral discs on sagittal views of lumbar MRIs. These were used to measure spinal canal areas at each lumbar level (L1 through L5).
Editor’s Choice The authors investigated how working memory deficits relate to detectable WM microstructural injuries to discover robust biomarkers that allow early identification of patients with mild traumatic brain injury at the highest risk of working memory impairment. Multi-shell diffusion

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors compared the efficacy of volumetric high-resolution heavily T2-weighted and time-resolved contrast-enhanced images in spinal vascular malformation diagnosis and feeder characterization and assessed whether a combined evaluation improved the overall accuracy of diagnosis in 28 patients.
Editor’s Choice In 2016, the smaller Woven EndoBridge 17, with finer size increments that used a 0.017-inch microcatheter, was introduced. The authors retrospectively analyzed their initial and follow-up results with the Woven EndoBridge 17 in ruptured and unruptured aneurysms. Treatment

Editor’s Choice The authors assessed the reproducibility and accuracy of cervical spinal cord gray matter and white matter cross-sectional area measurements using magnetization inversion recovery acquisition images and a fully automatic postprocessing segmentation algorithm. The cervical spinal cord of 24
Editor’s Choice A color-mapping method for 4D-CTA is presented for improved and enhanced visualization of the cerebral vasculature hemodynamics. This method was applied to detect cranial AVFs. Thirty-one patients were included, 21 patients with and 10 without an AVF. Arterialization
