Fellows’ Journal Club The authors applied an optimized TSE T2 sequence to washed whole postmortem brain samples (n=13) to demonstrate and characterize the detailed anatomy of the basal forebrain using a clinical 3T MR imaging scanner. They identified most basal
Editor’s Choice The aim of the authors was: 1) to compare multicontrast cortical lesion detection using 3T and 7T MR imaging, 2) to compare cortical lesion type frequency in relapsing-remitting and secondary-progressive MS, and 3) to assess whether detectability is

Fellows’ Journal Club From January 2011 to December 2017, nine consecutive patients with Susac syndrome and a control group of 73 patients with multiple sclerosis or clinically isolated syndrome were included. Two neuroradiologists blinded to the clinical and ophthalmologic data
Editor’s Choice Fifty-four contrast-enhancing tumors (38 gliomas and 16 metastases) were assessed using MPRAGE, VIBE, and SPACE techniques randomly acquired after gadolinium-based contrast agent administration on a 3T scanner. Enhancement conspicuity was assessed quantitatively by calculating the contrast rate and
Editor’s Choice This retrospective study included 18 patients with a definite diagnosis of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Ten patients were HIV-positive, 3 patients had natalizumab-associated PML, 1 patient had multiple myeloma, 3 patients had a history of lymphoma, and 1 was

Neurology. 2019;92(7):e639-e647. doi:10.1212/WNL.0000000000006917. Over the last 2 decades, reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) has become recognized as a group of conditions
Editor’s Choice The purpose of this study was to introduce a multiphase MRA collateral map derived from time-resolved dynamic contrast-enhanced MRA and to verify the value of the multiphase MRA collateral map in acute ischemic stroke by comparing it with

Editor’s Choice The authors prospectively studied patients with motor deficits secondary to primary intracerebral hemorrhage within the first 12 hours of symptom onset. Patients underwent multimodal MR imaging including DTI. Intracerebral hemorrhage, perihematomal edema location and volume, and corticospinal tract
