Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging versus computed tomography in the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke

DP Davis, T Robertson, SG Imbesi - The Journal of emergency medicine, 2006 - Elsevier
Current treatment protocols using reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke rely on non-contrast
computed tomography (NCCT), with most indications including the absence of acute …

Metabolite findings in tumefactive demyelinating lesions utilizing short echo time proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Clinical pitfalls related to short and long echo times in cerebral MR spectroscopy

…, TJ Re, DJ Dubowitz, Z Rumboldt, SG Imbesi - Journal of …, 2011 - Elsevier
MR-spectroscopy (MRS) is a multiparameter diagnostic tool and modification of each
parameter results in spectrum morphology changes. In particular, changing the echo time (TE) …

Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma presenting as Brown-Sequard syndrome

HE Aryan, A Farin, P Nakaji, SG Imbesi, BB Abshire - Surgical neurology, 2004 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: It is extremely rare for cancer to present first as an intramedullary spinal cord
metastasis. Furthermore, because it is unlikely for spinal cord neoplasm to present acutely, …

Analysis of slipstream flow in a wide-necked basilar artery aneurysm: evaluation of potential treatment regimens

SG Imbesi, CW Kerber - American Journal of …, 2001 - Am Soc Neuroradiology
A replica of a lethal wide-necked basilar artery aneurysm was created by casting a deceased
