Fellows’ Journal Club Track density imaging (TDI) is a novel MR imaging postprocessing technique based on high angular-resolution diffusion acquisitions that generate super-resolution images derived by whole-brain probabilistic streamline tractography. TDI and echo modulation curve T2 mapping were combined with
Editor’s Choice This study investigated whether diffusion tensor imaging tractography-based connectome can differentiate global developmental delay from speech delay in young children. Twelve children with pure speech delay, 14 children with global developmental delay, and 10 children with typical development

Fellows’ Journal Club The authors investigated the impact of early extubation and ventilation duration in a cohort of 103 patients that underwent thrombectomy under general anesthesia. Prolonged ventilation was associated with pneumonia during hospitalization and unfavorable functional outcome (mRS greater
