      Diagnostic Accuracy of Screening MR Imaging Using Unenhanced Axial CISS and Coronal T2WI for Detection of Small Internal Auditory Canal Lesions

      T2-weighted and CISS images were compared with thin-section postcontrast T1 sequences for the detection of small (<10 mm) internal auditory canal schwannomas in 23 patients. The authors concluded that screening noncontrast MR imaging using a combination of axial CISS and coronal T2WI sequences can detect small internal auditory canal lesions with 100% sensitivity and excellent interobserver agreement.

      Early Reperfusion Rates with IV tPA Are Determined by CTA Clot Characteristics

      These authors evaluated CTA studies of 228 patients paying special attention to the clot features, and correlated these features with early reperfusion rates. Clot features that predicted successful early reperfusion included: shorter clot, residual flow within the clot, and distal location. Reperfusion was achieved in only 8% of patients with longer and proximal clots and in those without residual flow.

      Five hundred cervical spine MRI studies,half ordered by referring physicians who owned scanners and received technical fees and half by physicians who did not, were reviewed for percentage of negative results and number of concomitant shoulder MRIs performed. There were 17.3% more negative scans in the financial-interest group. Patients in this group were also more likely to undergo shoulder MRI.
