Fellows’ Journal Club One hundred five consecutive patients with primary oropharyngeal and oral cavity head and neck squamous cell carcinoma underwent MR imaging with anatomic and DWI sequences. The collected tumor voxels from the contoured ROIs provided histograms from which
Editor’s Choice The authors conducted preoperative and intraoperative resting-state intrinsic functional connectivity analyses of the motor cortex in 30 patients with brain tumors. Factors that may influence intraoperative imaging quality, including anesthesia type and tumor cavity, were studied. Additionally, direct

Fellows’ Journal Club This was a retrospective review of 1340 patients with 1595 unruptured saccular intracranial aneurysms that underwent endovascular coil embolization between February 2010 and December 2014. The clinical outcomes of patients with procedural rupture of saccular intracranial aneurysms
Editor’s Choice The authors studied 313 posterior communicating artery aneurysms (145 ruptured, 168 unruptured) with image-based computational fluid dynamics. Aneurysms were classified into different angioarchitecture types depending on the location of the aneurysm with respect to parent artery bifurcation. Ruptured

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors assessed regional CBF in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus compared with healthy controls using the noninvasive quantitative arterial spin-labeling MR imaging technique. Twenty-one consecutive patients with NPH and 21 age- and sex-matched randomly selected
Editor’s Choice The authors evaluated the use of noninvasive MR thermometry in patients with cerebrovascular disease, and hypothesized that the presence of a measurable brain thermalresponse would reflect the tissue hemodynamic state. MR imaging and MR thermometry were performed in
