- Utility of Dual-Energy CT to Improve Diagnosis of CSF Leaks on CT Myelography following Lateral Decubitus Digital Subtraction Myelography with Negative Findings
The capability of dual-energy CT to create virtual monoenergetic images can be leveraged to increase conspicuity of contrast in CSF-venous fistulas and direct epidural CSF leakage to improve the diagnostic utility of CT myelography.
- Testing an Adapted Auditory Verbal Learning Test Paradigm for fMRI to Lateralize Verbal Memory in Patients with Epilepsy
The adapted Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test paradigm fMRI might support verbal memory lateralization. Temporal lobe epilepsy laterality influences hippocampal memory laterality indexes. Left temporal lobe epilepsy has shown a higher proportion of atypical verbal memory compared with language, potentially secondary to memory functional reorganization.
- Correlation between Histopathology and Signal Loss on Spin-Echo T2-Weighted MR Images of the Inner Ear: Distinguishing Artifacts from Anatomy
Small foci of signal loss within the inner ear vestibule on T2-weighted spin-echo images correlate with anatomic structures, including the lateral semicircular canal crista and the utricular macula. More posterior intensity variations in the endolymphatic space are likely artifacts, potentially representing fluid flow within the endolymph.
