- A New Frontier in Temporal Bone Imaging: Photon-Counting Detector CT Demonstrates Superior Visualization of Critical Anatomic Structures at Reduced Radiation Dose
Temporal bone CT images obtained on a photon-counting detector CT scanner were rated as having superior spatial resolution and more critical structure visualization than those obtained on a conventional energy-integrating detector scanner, even with a substantial dose reduction.
- Prediction of Wound Failure in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer Treated with Free Flap Reconstruction: Utility of CT Perfusion and MR Perfusion in the Early Postoperative Period
CT perfusion and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging are both promising imaging techniques to predict wound complications after head and neck free flap reconstruction.
- Comparison of Papile versus Laterality-Based Al-Abdi System to Predict Neurodevelopmental Impairment in Extreme Preterm Infants after Severe Germinal Matrix Hemorrhage–Intraventricular Hemorrhage: A Retrospective Comparative Observational Study
The Al-Abdi system is comparable with the Papile system for predicting neurodevelopmental impairment for extremely preterm infants with severe germinal matrix hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage, with higher Al-Abdi scores being more specific.
- Acceleration of Brain Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging with Compressed Sensitivity Encoding: A Prospective Multicenter Study
Compressed sensitivity encoding factor 4 is recommended in routine practice. Compressed sensitivity encoding factor 10 is potentially a fast surrogate for distinguishing the basilar artery and detecting susceptibility-related abnormalities (eg, cerebral microbleeds, cavernous angiomas, gliomas, and venous malformation) at the sacrifice of visualization of the substantia nigra-red nucleus and internal cerebral vein.
