- Cortically Based Brain Tumors in Children: A Decision-Tree Approach in the Radiology Reading Room
This comprehensive review of cortically based brain tumors in children proposes a decision tree to help with the differential diagnosis.
- Gadolinium-Enhanced T2 FLAIR Is an Imaging Biomarker of Radiation Necrosis and Tumor Progression in Patients with Brain Metastases
Distinguishing radiation necrosis from tumor progression after radiation therapy for brain metastases is challenging on conventional MRI. This study demonstrated higher normalized contrast-enhanced T1 and T2 FLAIR signal intensity for RN. Contrast-enhanced T2 FLAIR signal intensity distinguished RN and TP with an AUC similar to that of DSC perfusion.
- Hemodynamic Characteristics in Ruptured and Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms: A Prospective Cohort Study Utilizing the AneurysmFlow Tool
A DSA-based flow quantification tool (AneurysmFlow) was used to measure blood flow vectors and velocities after contrast injection. Complex flow patterns were shown to be common in ruptured aneurysms and those with daughter sacs. Lowest mean aneurysm flow amplitude in the dome and daughter sacs indicated pathophysiologic changes linked to rupture. Also, hypertension, bifurcation location, and irregular shape of unruptured aneurysm were found to be independent rupture risk factors.
