- Assessment of Attenuation in Pericarotid Fat among Patients with Carotid Plaque and Spontaneous Carotid Dissection
This cross-sectional retrospective study assessed the PFD in patients with spontaneous internal carotid artery dissection or carotid atherosclerotic plaque, with and without IPH. The results showed that the average PFDs in patients with SICAD and carotid atherosclerosis plaque with IPH were similar and higher than those in patients with carotid plaque without IPH, suggesting a shared pathologic inflammatory mechanism in these 2 conditions.
- Dynamic Expansion and Contraction of Multiple Sclerosis T2-Weighted Hyperintense Lesions Are Present below the Threshold of Visual Perception
Recognition of longitudinal imaging changes of MS lesions has substantial implications for clinical management, but changes may remain below the resolution of human perception. In this study, the authors demonstrated that T2-weighted hyperintense lesions undergo dynamic change on MRI, with predominantly enlarging or contracting characteristics, more frequently seen in untreated individuals.
