- Cluster Analysis of DSC MRI, Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI, and DWI Parameters Associated with Prognosis in Patients with Glioblastoma after Removal of the Contrast-Enhancing Component: A Preliminary Study
This model showed that nonenhancing T2 high-signal-intensity lesions with relatively low normalized CBV, low volume transfer constant values, and the lowest ADC values could serve as useful prognostic imaging markers for predicting survival outcomes in patients with glioblastoma.
- SWI by 7T MR Imaging for the Microscopic Imaging Diagnosis of Astrocytic and Oligodendroglial Tumors
Visualization of the corticomedullary junction by 7T SWI was useful in distinguishing astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas. Observation of tapering of the cortex was most sensitive and specific for diagnosing astrocytomas.
- Quantitative Intracerebral Iodine Extravasation in Risk Stratification for Intracranial Hemorrhage in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
The cutoff of the normalized iodine concentration ratio for identifying patients with intracerebral hemorrhage development was 222.8%, with a sensitivity of 67.6% and specificity of 76.4%.
- Diagnostic Performance of Whole-Body Ultra-Low-Dose CT for Detection of Mechanical Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Complications: A Retrospective Analysis
Whole-body ultra-low-dose CT allows detection of ventriculoperitoneal shunt complications with excellent diagnostic accuracy and diagnostic confidence.
- Correlation of Collateral Scores Derived from Whole-Brain Time-Resolved Flat Panel Detector Imaging in Acute Ischemic Stroke
The Calgary/Menon multiphase flat panel CTA score and the hypoperfusion intensity ratio correlated with each other and with the ASITN/SIR DSA score as the reference standard. In this cohort, the collateral scoring derived from flat panel detector CT was clinically reliable.
- MR Imaging Findings of Carcinoma Ex Pleomorphic Adenoma Related to Extracapsular Invasion and Prognosis
MR imaging findings, including the corona and black ring signs, reliably differentiated invasive and noninvasive CXPA.
