- A Novel MR Imaging Sequence of 3D-ZOOMit Real Inversion-Recovery Imaging Improves Endolymphatic Hydrops Detection in Patients with Ménière Disease
The 3D-ZOOMit real IR sequences are superior to conventional 3D TSE inversion-recovery with real reconstruction sequences in visualizing the endolymphatic space, detecting endolymphatic hydrops, and discovering contrast permeability.
- Higher Incidence of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms among Black and Hispanic Women on Screening MRA in Large Urban Populations
Targeted screening for high-risk elderly women of Black or Hispanic descent will yield higher positive findings for brain aneurysms, which may mitigate the risk of rupture. Whether this is a cost-effective approach has yet to be determined.
- MELAS: Phenotype Classification into Classic-versus-Atypical Presentations
Recognizing different patterns in MELAS presentations will enable clinical and research care teams to better understand the natural history and prognosis of MELAS and identify the best candidates for specific therapeutic interventions.
