- Measuring Glymphatic Flow in Man Using Quantitative Contrast-Enhanced MRI
In this technical report, the authors used MR myelography to demonstrate the feasibility of T1 mapping to quantify contrast concentration to analyze glymphatic flow in man. There is increasing interest in its use as a biomarker and potential therapeutic target in Alzheimer disease.
- Imaging-Guided Superior Ophthalmic Vein Access for Embolization of Dural Carotid Cavernous Fistulas: Report of 20 Cases and Review of the Literature
In this retrospective study of 20 patients, the authors report the results of imaging-guided percutaneous superior ophthalmic vein access in dural carotid cavernous fistula treatment. Minimally invasive percutaneous imaging-guided access to the SOV can be obtained in situations in which conventional transvenousaccess to the cavernous sinus is not possible for managementof patients with dural carotid cavernous fistula. The authors conclude that direct imaging-guidedpercutaneous SOV access is a valuable and time-savingalternative route compared with direct surgical SOV access.
