The authors performed a retrospective analysis of data from 188 consecutive patients with focal cortical dysplasia and refractory epilepsy with at least 2 years of postsurgery follow-up. Predictors of seizure freedom and the sensitivity of neuroimaging modalities were analyzed. MR imaging showed clear-cut FCD in 136 (72.3%) patients. Interictal FDG-PET showed focal hypo-/hypermetabolism in 144 (76.6%); in 110 patients in whom ictal SPECT was performed, focal hyperperfusion was noted in 77 (70.3%). Focal resection was the most common surgery performed in 112 (59.6%) patients. Histopathology revealed type I FCD in 102 (54.3%) patients. At last follow-up, 124 (66.0%) were seizure-free. Complete resection of FCD and type II FCD were predictors of seizure freedom. Localization of FCD on either MR imaging or PET or ictal SPECT had the highest sensitivity for seizure freedom at 97.5%. They conclude that during presurgical multimodality evaluation, localization of the extent of the epileptogenic zone in at least 2 imaging modalities helps achieve seizure freedom in about two-thirds of patients with refractory epilepsy due to FCD. FDG-PET is the most sensitive imaging modality for seizure freedom, especially in patients with type I FCD.

Silent MRA is a procedure using an ultrashort TE and arterial spin-labeling techniques, which efficiently visualizes the status after the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. In Silent MRA, the 3D image is reconstructed by subtracting the control image from the image obtained by the labeling pulse. Seventy-eight large, unruptured internal carotid aneurysms in 78 patients were the subjects of this study. After 6 months of treatment, they underwent follow-up digital subtraction angiography, Silent MRA, and TOF-MRA, performed simultaneously. The authors found Silent MRA is superior for visualizing blood flow images inside flow-diverter devices compared with TOF-MRA. Furthermore, Silent MRA enables the assessment of aneurysmal embolization status. Silent MRA is useful for assessing the status of large and giant unruptured internal carotid aneurysms after flow-diverter placement.

Between April 2013 and September 2015, seventeen children with intracranial tumors were included in this retrospective study. Intravoxel incoherent motion parameters were fitted using 13 b-values for a biexponential model. The perfusion-free diffusion coefficient, pseudodiffusion coefficient, and perfusion fraction were measured in high- and low-grade tumors. The authors found significant correlations between the histology and IVIM parameters of different pediatric intracranial tumors. These results suggest that IVIM imaging reflects cell density and vascularity across different types of pediatric brain tumors. They also demonstrated that both the diffusion and perfusion parameters measured on IVIM imaging are useful for grading intracranial neuroectodermal tumors in pediatric patients.
