- Prenatal Evaluation of Intracranial Hemorrhage on Fetal MRI: A Retrospective Review
The EPI blood sequence is the most sensitive in the identification of fetal intracranial hemorrhage, which, in conjunction with T2-SSFSE images, can optimize classification and subsequent grading of germinal matrix hemorrhages in the fetus. The authors report a significant increase in neonatal death in the non-GMH-versus-GMH group and worsened brain parenchymal findings in more severe GMH grades (III-IV) on postnatal MR imaging.
- Can MRI Differentiate between Infectious and Immune-Related Acute Cerebellitis? A Retrospective Imaging Study
Acute cerebellitis is a rare condition, and MR imaging is helpful in the differential diagnosis. T2-FLAIR hyperintense signal in the brainstem and supratentorial brain may be indicative of immune-related acute cerebellitis, and downward herniation may be indicative of infectious acute cerebellitis.
- Accuracy and Clinical Utility of Reports from Outside Hospitals for CT of the Cervical Spine in Blunt Trauma
There was an overall 6.5% discordance rate between primary and secondary interpretations of cervical spine CT scans. The secondary interpretation of the cervical spine CT increased the sensitivity and specificity of detecting cervical spine fractures in patients with blunt trauma transferred to higher-level care.
