Notochordal lesions span a spectrum of disease ranging from benign notochordal remnant (ecchordosis physaliphora) to low-grade to aggressively malignant. Benign notochordal remnant cannot be reliably distinguished from low-grade chordoma as they may have overlapping imaging features. Repeat imaging, beginning at 6-month intervals, is a more clinically relevant method for evaluating the malignant potential of these lesions.

Ten patients with tubers related to tuberous sclerosis complex underwent quantitative susceptibility mapping. The QSM and R2* distributions from tubers studied with stereoelectroencephalography demonstrated that increased kurtosis of quantitative susceptibility mapping values was highly specific and associated with epileptogenicity.

A case (n = 36) - control (n = 50) study aimed to identify CT findings of supraclavicular brachial plexus injuries to discern who may require further evaluation with MR imaging. The results showed that scalene muscle edema/enlargement and interscalene fat pad effacement were most strongly associated with brachial plexus injury and demonstrated good sensitivity and specificity. These findings are best assessed with a soft-tissue reconstruction kernel; therefore, this should be incorporated as part of the trauma CT cervical spine assessment.
