- Contrast Bolus Interference in a Multimodal CT Stroke Protocol
When measuring CTP after CTA, either a short pause on the order of 30 seconds should be observed or an appropriate correction method should be applied.
- Brazilian FRED Registry: A Prospective Multicenter Study for Brain Aneurysm Treatment—The BRED Study
FRED has proved to be a safe and effective tool, with high occlusion rates. The design of the stent makes it more difficult to perform balloon angioplasty compared with similar devices. A branch arising from the aneurysm sac was found to be a predictor of nonocclusion at 12 months.
- Diagnostic Role of Diffusion-Weighted and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Perfusion MR Imaging in Paragangliomas and Schwannomas in the Head and Neck
DCE-MR imaging parameters identified significant statistical differences between schwannomas and paragangliomas with AUCs of 0.70–0.99, though no significant differences in ADC values were identified. Vp was the most promising parameter to differentiate the 2 tumor types.
- A Radiologic Grading System for Assessing the Radiographic Outcome of Treatment in Lymphatic and Lymphatic-Venous Malformations of the Head and Neck
The proposed radiographic grading scale demonstrates excellent interrater reliability. Adoption of this new scale can standardize reported outcomes following sclerotherapy for head and neck lymphatic malformation and may aid in the investigation of future questions regarding optimal management of these lesions.
- Growth Curves of Subependymal Giant Cell Tumors in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
Growth differentiates subependymal nodules and subependymal giant cell tumors within the first 20 years of life, and the use of velocity and acceleration of growth may refine the diagnostic criteria of subependymal giant cell tumors.
- COVID-19-Associated Myelitis Involving the Dorsal and Lateral White Matter Tracts: A Case Series and Review of the Literature
The authors present 5 cases of COVID-19-associated myelitis with tract-specific involvement of the dorsal and lateral columns and discuss potential pathophysiologic pathways for this unique pattern.
