MR imaging is the criterion standard for carotid artery plaque characterization and is best able to characterize features of plaque vulnerability: lipid-rich necrotic core, intraplaque hemorrhage, ulcerations, loss of fibrous integrity, maximum plaque thickness, and plaque enhancement. Many researchers believe that many embolic strokes of undetermined source may originate from nonstenotic ipsilateral carotid plaques with vulnerable features. From the results of many trials, many believe that imaging markers of plaque vulnerability should be considered in the determination of carotid endarterectomy eligibility.

Ten patients with tubers related to tuberous sclerosis complex underwent quantitative susceptibility mapping. The QSM and R2* distributions from tubers studied with stereoelectroencephalography demonstrated that increased kurtosis of quantitative susceptibility mapping values was highly specific and associated with epileptogenicity.

A case (n = 36) - control (n = 50) study aimed to identify CT findings of supraclavicular brachial plexus injuries to discern who may require further evaluation with MR imaging. The results showed that scalene muscle edema/enlargement and interscalene fat pad effacement were most strongly associated with brachial plexus injury and demonstrated good sensitivity and specificity. These findings are best assessed with a soft-tissue reconstruction kernel; therefore, this should be incorporated as part of the trauma CT cervical spine assessment.
