- Association between Dural AVFs and Cerebral Venous Thrombosis
One-third of patients with a dural AVF in this study were diagnosed with cerebral venous thrombosis. In almost two-thirds of patients, cerebral venous thrombosis was diagnosed prior to or concurrent with the dural AVF. In 97% of patients, there was an anatomic association between the dural AVF and cerebral venous thrombosis.
- Cluster Analysis of DSC MRI, Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI, and DWI Parameters Associated with Prognosis in Patients with Glioblastoma after Removal of the Contrast-Enhancing Component: A Preliminary Study
This model showed that nonenhancing T2 high-signal-intensity lesions with relatively low normalized CBV, low volume transfer constant values, and the lowest ADC values could serve as useful prognostic imaging markers for predicting survival outcomes in patients with glioblastoma.
- SWI by 7T MR Imaging for the Microscopic Imaging Diagnosis of Astrocytic and Oligodendroglial Tumors
Visualization of the corticomedullary junction by 7T SWI was useful in distinguishing astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas. Observation of tapering of the cortex was most sensitive and specific for diagnosing astrocytomas.
- Quantitative Intracerebral Iodine Extravasation in Risk Stratification for Intracranial Hemorrhage in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
The cutoff of the normalized iodine concentration ratio for identifying patients with intracerebral hemorrhage development was 222.8%, with a sensitivity of 67.6% and specificity of 76.4%.
- Diagnostic Performance of Whole-Body Ultra-Low-Dose CT for Detection of Mechanical Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Complications: A Retrospective Analysis
Whole-body ultra-low-dose CT allows detection of ventriculoperitoneal shunt complications with excellent diagnostic accuracy and diagnostic confidence.
