Fellows’ Journal Club From the MR CLEAN data base, all baseline thin-slice CTA images of patients with acute ischemic stroke with intracranial large-vessel occlusion were retrospectively collected. The quantitative collateral score was calculated as the ratio of the vascular appearance
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors evaluated 23 distal anterior circulation occlusions during a 2-year period. Ten M1-segment occlusions and 10 cases without a vessel occlusion were also included. There was significant improvement in the sensitivity of detection of distal anterior
Fellows’ Journal Club Editor’s Comment Carotid web was defined on CTA as a thin intraluminal filling defect along the posterior wall of the carotid bulb just beyond the carotid bifurcation on oblique sagittal section CTA that was seen as a
Click to listen to the accompanying podcast (discussion of this article begins at 1:01) This paper aimed to characterize carotid webs and their association with ipsilateral ischemic stroke. A carotid web was defined as a thin intraluminal filling defect located along

Fellows’ Journal Club February 2015 (1 of 3) Different methods of assessing collateral circulation based on CTA were compared in 200 patients with stroke. Only the Miteff scoring system was reliable for predicting favorable outcome in these patients but poor
Editor’s Choice September 2014 (3 of 3) The authors investigated the significance of several clinical and imaging risk factors, most specifically the “cervical seatbelt sign,” in the anterior neck in pediatric patients with suspected blunt cerebrovascular injury as seen by
Editor’s Choice September 2014 (1 of 3) This comparative-effectiveness and cost-effectiveness study assessed the use of CT angiography and perfusion in patients with cerebral ischemia after aneurysmal SAH. The authors found that CTA and CTP should be the preferred imaging
