Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comment These authors retrospectively evaluated 12 patients with natalizumab–progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), 5 with PML from other causes, and 55 patients with MS without progressive PML for comparison. They observed T2* or SWI signal abnormalities at
Editor’s Choice Editor’s Comment Serial T1WI and 1H-MR spectroscopy data were acquired in 15 healthy individuals at normohydration, at 12 hours of dehydration, and during 1 hour of oral rehydration. Osmotic challenges were monitored by serum measures, including osmolality and
Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comment Patients with suspected idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) on the basis of the ventriculomegaly and a triad of symptoms underwent the CSF tap test. CSF volumes were extracted from a T2-weighted 3D spin-echo SPACE sequence
Editor’s Choice Editor’s Comment The authors retrospectively reviewed patients treated between 2007–2010 and identified 14 patients with cerebral metastasis who had clinical or radiographic progression following stereotactic radiosurgery and were imaged with arterial spin-labeling (ASL), FDG-PET, and thallium SPECT before

Lunsford LD, Sheehan JP, eds. Intracranial Stereotactic Radiosurgery. Thieme; 2009; 200 pp; 119 ill; $169.95 This volume offers the expertise of a multinational group of authors in the practice of stereotactic radiosurgery (STR) for a variety of intracranial lesions. It does
Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comment CT images were reconstructed by using weighted filtered back-projection and iterative metal artifact reduction. Two neuroradiologists evaluated images in the region of spinal hardware and assigned a score for the visualization of critical anatomic structures
Editor’s Choice Editor’s Comment The authors calculated the BOLD-dependent MR imaging artifact impact arising from surgically implanted hardware through a retrospective analysis of fMRIs acquired from 2006–2014. Mean artifact volume associated with intracranial hardware was 4.3 cubic centimeters. The mean
