Editor’s Choice The authors retrospectively studied clinical and radiologic data of 333 consecutive patients with aneurysmal SAH between January 2009 and December 2011. Adjusted odds ratios werecalculated for the association between automatically quantified total blood volume on NCCT and delayed
Gondi V, Yock TI, Mehta MP. Proton therapy for paediatric CNS tumours — improving treatment-related outcomes. Nat Rev Neurol. 2016;12(6):334–345. doi:10.1038/nrneurol.2016.70. In this review, the authors provide an introduction to the types of pediatric CNS tumors for which proton therapy
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors performed a retrospective blinded analysis of cervical cord MR imaging examinations of 50 patients with MS. In each patient, 2 neuroradiologists measured the number of focal lesions and overall lesion conspicuity in the STIR/proton density–weighted
Editor’s Choice Eleven patients underwent subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation. DTI and high-resolution T1- and T2-weighted MRI were performed at 3T. The electrode positions and current amplitudes that elicited corticospinal tract effects during the operation were studied to determine relative
Haaga JR, Boll DT, eds. CT and MRI of the Whole Body. 6th ed. Elsevier; 2016; 2832 pp (including ill); $434.99 The newest edition (6th) of CT and MRI of the Whole Body is a major publication in Diagnostic Radiology. Edited
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors performed intraindividual qualitative and quantitative comparison between T1-weighted spin-echo and 3D MPRAGE images in 18 patients who had multiple exposures to gadodiamide. Differences in signal between the 2 sequences for both baseline and last examination
Editor’s Choice Bookend perfusion was used to quantify parameters in normal-appearing and lesional tissue at different relapsing-remitting MS stages in 39 patients and 19 age-matched healthy controls. Perfusion parameters such as CBF, CBV, and MTT were compared along with cognitive
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors explored the effect of multimodal imaging (CT perfusion and/or CT angiography) versus noncontrast CT alone on time to treatment and outcomes in the IMS III trial. Of 656 subjects enrolled in the trial, 90 (13.7%)
The ASNR and ASSR are pleased to report breaking news from the Lancet. The Vertebroplasty for Acute Painful Osteoporotic fractURes (VAPOUR) trial has provided compelling evidence in support of the use of vertebroplasty as a treatment for painful acute (less
Editor’s Choice The authors’ hypothesis is that incorporating bidirectional contrast agent transport into the DSC MR imaging signal model will improve rCBV estimates in brain tumors. A unidirectional contrast agent extravasation model (Boxerman-Weisskoff) was compared with a bidirectional contrast agent
