Editor’s Choice DSC-MR imaging data were collected after a preload and during a bolus injection of gadolinium contrast agent using a gradient recalled-echo-EPI sequence. Forty-nine low-grade and high-grade glioma datasets were uploaded to The Cancer Imaging Archive. Datasets included a
Fellows’ Journal Club DTI and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging using T1-mapping with flip angles of 2°, 5°, 10°, and 15°, followed by a 0.1-mmol/kg body weight gadolinium-based bolus was performed on 41 patients in addition to standard MR imaging. Permeability

Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comment The authors performed a crossover, intraindividual comparison of 0.1-mmol/kg gadobenate with 0.1-mmol/kg gadoterate (Arm 1) and 0.05-mmol/kg gadobenate with 0.1-mmol/kg gadoterate (Arm 2). In Arm 1, a significant superiority of 0.1-mmol/kg gadobenate was demonstrated by
Jain R, Essig M. Brain Tumor Imaging. Thieme; 2015; 261 pp, $149.99 This recently published book, written by Dr. Jain from New York University and Dr. Essig from the University of Manitoba, ties together routine imaging and advanced MRI of brain tumors. With 37 contributors,
Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comment The authors performed a retrospective study on 60 consecutive pediatric patients with primary brain tumors treated with proton radiation therapy. Thirty-one percent of patients developed radiation necrosis with a median time to development of 5 months.
Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comment Thirty-five attending-level raters evaluated 14 brain tumors involving the frontoparietal convexity. Raters identified the location of the foot motor homunculus and determined whether the tumor involved the foot motor area and/or motor cortex by using
