- Minimally Invasive Stent Screw–Assisted Internal Fixation Technique Corrects Kyphosis in Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures with Severe Collapse: A Pilot “Vertebra Plana” Series
The stent screw-assisted internal fixation technique was effective in obtaining height restoration, kyphosis correction, and pain relief in patients with severe vertebral collapse
- MRI Findings after Recent Image-Guided Lumbar Puncture: The Rate of Dural Enhancement and Subdural Collections
In this study, 5.2% of patients had small, bilateral subdural collections after recent lumbar puncture, suggesting that asymptomatic subdural collections after recent lumbar puncture are not atypical and do not require further work-up. When MR imaging was performed within 2 days of lumbar puncture, none of the patients had diffuse dural enhancement
- Brain Perfusion Alterations on 3D Pseudocontinuous Arterial Spin-Labeling MR Imaging in Patients with Autoimmune Encephalitis: A Case Series and Literature Review
The authors describe the findings of conventional MR imaging and 3D pseudocontinuous arterial spin-labeling in patients with autoimmune encephalitis confirmed by antibody testing. All patients with autoimmune encephalitis showed increased CBF in the affected area, even when some presented with normal or slightly abnormal findings on conventional MR imaging.
- Implementation of a Low-Field Portable MRI Scanner in a Resource-Constrained Environment: Our Experience in Malawi
Successful implementation required a large amount of logistic planning, flexibility, and improvisation. Close and timely postdelivery support by the manufacturer is crucial to the authors' ongoing success.
