Improved Glioma Grading Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
Editor’s Choice Convolutional neural networks are able to learn discriminating features automatically, and these features provide added value for grading gliomas.
Idiopathic Neonatal Subpial Hemorrhage with Underlying Cerebral Infarct: Imaging Features and Clinical Outcome
Fellows’ Journal Club Subpial hemorrhage with underlying infarction is a recognizable condition with unique MR imaging and sonographic features. Improved recognition may advance understanding of risk factors and outcomes.
Tractography of the Cerebellar Peduncles in Second- and Third-Trimester Fetuses
Editor’s Choice A robust motion-tracked section-to-volume registration algorithm enabled deterministic tractography of the superior cerebellar peduncle and middle cerebellar peduncle in vivo and allowed characterization of developmental changes in this study of 58 fetuses with a median gestational age of
Neck Location on the Outer Convexity is a Predictor of Incomplete Occlusion in Treatment with the Pipeline Embolization Device: Clinical and Angiographic Outcomes
Fellows’ Journal Club The aneurysm neck located on the outer convexity is a new, incomplete occlusion predictor, joining older age, fusiform aneurysms, and aneurysms with the branching artery from the dome. No permanent neurologic deficits or rupture were observed in
Imaging Parameters of the Ipsilateral Medial Geniculate Body May Predict Prognosis of Patients with Idiopathic Unilateral Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss on the Basis of Diffusion Spectrum Imaging
Editor’s Choice Diffusion spectrum imaging can detect abnormalities of white matter microstructure along the central auditory pathway in patients with unilateral idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss. The generalized fractional anisotropy value of the ipsilateral medial geniculate body may help to

Radiation-Induced Imaging Changes and Cerebral Edema following Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Brain AVMs
Fellows’ Journal Club Radiation-induced imaging changes are common following linear particle accelerator-based stereotactic radiosurgery for brain AVMs, appear to peak at 12 months, and are significantly associated with new neurologic findings.
Acute Ischemic Stroke or Epileptic Seizure? Yield of CT Perfusion in a “Code Stroke” Situation
Editor’s Choice CTP patterns helped to differentiate acute ischemic stroke from epileptic seizure in a “code stroke“ situation. The results indicate that a hyperperfusion pattern, especially if not restricted to a vascular territory, may suggest reconsideration of intravenous thrombolytic therapy.
Treatment of Ruptured Blister-Like Aneurysms with the FRED Flow Diverter: A Multicenter Experience
Fellows’ Journal Club In a retrospective multicenter study, all patients treated with the FRED for a ruptured intracranial blister-like aneurysm between January 2013 and May 2019 were analyzed. In total, 30 patients with 30 ruptured blister-like aneurysms were treated. Immediate
