- Clinical Evaluation of a 2-Minute Ultrafast Brain MR Protocol for Evaluation of Acute Pathology in the Emergency and Inpatient Settings
Ultrafast MR imaging (2.1 minutes) reconstructed with machine-learning assisted framework demonstrated significant reduction in motion artifacts and 98.5% agreement with the reference MR protocol (10 minutes) on the main clinical diagnosis, though there were greater image noise and geometric distortion on the ultrafast protocol.
- Efficacy of MR Neurography of Peripheral Trigeminal Nerves: Correlation of Sunderland Grade versus Neurosensory Testing
The current diagnostic reference standard for peripheral trigeminal nerve injuries is neurosensory testing in combination with clinical findings to determine treatment. MRN provides an alternative method for the diagnosis and staging of patients with PTN because of its ability to delineate anatomy and the exact location of injury. This study correlates injury grading based on NST and MRN, demonstrating similar rates of agreement with surgical findings in lower-grade injuries but higher rates of agreement between MRN and surgical findings than NST in higher-grade injuries.
