Fellows’ Journal Club The authors conducted a retrospective review of 58 patients with 62 MR imaging studies performed within 72 hours following endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Patient demographics, aneurysm location, and vascular territory distribution of cortical and sulcal hyperintensity
Editor’s Choice Twenty-three patients with relapsing-remitting MS underwent both conventional 3D-FLAIR and compressed sensing 3D-FLAIR on a 3T scanner (reduction in scan time 1 minute 25 seconds, 27%; compressed sensing factor of 1.3). Two blinded readers independently evaluated both conventional
Fellows’ Journal Club The authors evaluated 244 consecutive patients eligible for reperfusion therapy with MCA stroke and pretreatment MR imaging with both FLAIR and PWI. The FLAIR vascular hyperintensity score was based on ASPECTS, ranging from 0 (no FLAIR vascular
Editor’s Choice Editor’s Comment The authors evaluated 62 consecutive patients with ischemic stroke with proven vessel occlusion with MRI before and within 24 hours of treatment and defined a hypoperfusion intensity ratio (volume with severe/mild hypoperfusion [time-to-maximum ≥ 8 seconds
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
Fellows’ Journal Club May 2014 (1 of 3) The role of the EPI-FLAIR sequence in patients with acute stroke was evaluated. A total of 52 patients with acute stroke were studied with conventional FLAIR and EPI-FLAIR imaging and quality and
