Editor’s Choice The authors evaluated the use of noninvasive MR thermometry in patients with cerebrovascular disease, and hypothesized that the presence of a measurable brain thermalresponse would reflect the tissue hemodynamic state. MR imaging and MR thermometry were performed in
Fellows’ Journal Club The North American Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis Cooperative steering committee developed a uniform high-resolution 3T MR imaging protocol relevant to the quantification of cerebral lesions and atrophy and implemented it at 7 sites across the United States.
Editor’s Choice The authors evaluated the feasibility of MR permeability imaging by comparison with 11C-methionine-PET, FDG-PET, and DWI for differentiating radiation necrosis from recurrent tumors in 15 patients with 18 lesions following gamma knife radiosurgery. The area under the ROC

Fellows’ Journal Club August 2014 (3 of 3) Because FLAIR high signal intensity in occluded arteries occurs elsewhere in the brain, these authors analyzed the signal of the basilar artery in 20 instances of occlusion in a group of patients
To continue with the education activities in our blog here is another Powerpoint presentation. The author of this one is a fellow here with us in Neuroradiology at UNC. Although short, I hope that all of you find it interesting
An 11-year-old boy was involved in a car accident and presented in a semicomatous state. Clinically he was diagnosed as having sustained a diffuse axonal injury and was treated conservatively. A brain MRI was performed one month following injury and
“Brain Tumor Imaging, Volume 1: Pretherapy” is the latest Special Collection from the American Journal of Neuroradiology. Distilling the best of the many articles related to brain tumor imaging that appear in the pages of AJNR posed a daunting task,
