- Diagnostic Value of PET Tracers in Differentiating Glioma Tumor Recurrence from Treatment-Related Changes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
This review of the literature found that amino acid-based tracers (such as 11C-MET and 18F-FDOPA) had the highest diagnostic value in identifying true progression of glioma and treatment-related change.
- Pituitary Gland Duplication Syndrome: An International Imaging Analysis
This study of 10 patients with DPG showed characteristic thickening of the ventral hypothalamic midline and duplication of the infundibulum, as well as associated craniofacial dysraphism, oropharyngeal mass (ie, teratoma), and vascular and vertebral anomalies. The repetitive spectrum of ventral abnormalities involving the skull base, pituitary region, corpus callosum, tuber cinereum, brainstem, cerebral arteries, and cervical spine suggests axial mesoderm duplication.
- Involvement Beyond Peripheral Nerves in Pure Neuritic Leprosy: An MR Imaging Study
Many patients with pure neuritic leprosy may have involvement of dorsal root ganglion, brachial plexus (thickening of trunks and cords), lumbar plexus, and spinal cord (intramedullary T2 hyperintensity). Patients may present with ganglionitis, plexitis, or myelitis.
