- “Flow Void Sign”: Flow Artifact on T2-Weighted MRI Can Be an Indicator of Dural Defect Location in Ventral Type 1 Spinal CSF Leaks
Type 1 CSF leaks are commonly associated with ventral predominant epidural fluid. On 2D T2-weighted and STIR images, CSF-flow artifact in the anterior subarachnoid space and/or the adjacent epidural fluid collection at the level of the dural defect is caused by CSF-flow and may permit accurate prediction of the site of the CSF leak noninvasively.
- Gadolinium-Enhanced T2 FLAIR Is an Imaging Biomarker of Radiation Necrosis and Tumor Progression in Patients with Brain Metastases
Distinguishing radiation necrosis from tumor progression after radiation therapy for brain metastases is challenging on conventional MRI. This study demonstrated higher normalized contrast-enhanced T1 and T2 FLAIR signal intensity for RN. Contrast-enhanced T2 FLAIR signal intensity distinguished RN and TP with an AUC similar to that of DSC perfusion.
