- Brain Maturation Patterns on Normalized FLAIR MR Imaging in Children and Adolescents
Studies to date have shown signal maturation patterns in the pediatric population using various sequences. However, there is a paucity of information about brain maturation patterns of FLAIR signal intensities across the pediatric range. Additionally, intensities vary widely across FLAIR MR imaging scanners. A FLAIR intensity standardization algorithm would be helpful to normalize intensity across large data sets, allowing comparison of FLAIR intensity in different regions and individuals.

This is an illustrative review of neuroimaging manifestations of EBV-associated infectious, noninfectious inflammatory, and lymphoproliferative disorders, which have a myriad of imaging appearances.
- Long-Term Follow-up of Multinodular and Vacuolating Neuronal Tumors and Implications for Surveillance Imaging
Multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumors (MVNTs) are classified as WHO grade 1 tumors and typically described as “leave me alone” lesions. Less frequent surveillance imaging can be performed based on the longitudinal volumetric stability of these lesions.
- Resisted Inspiration Improves Visualization of CSF-Venous Fistulas in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension
This retrospective cohort of patients with observed or suspected CSF-venous fistula identified during standard maximum suspended inspiration CT myelography were rescanned using resisted inspiration and the Valsalva maneuver. Visibility of the CSF-venous fistula was greatest during resisted inspiration in most of the cases.
