- Performance of Automated ASPECTS Software and Value as a Computer-Aided Detection Tool
This retrospective study compared the agreement of automated ASPECTS and raters with a different experience level in scoring patients with acute ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion undergoing thrombectomy. The agreement of all raters individually versus the criterion standard and interrater agreement improved with software assistance.

- Epileptogenic Tubers Are Associated with Increased Kurtosis of Susceptibility Values: A Combined Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping and Stereoelectroencephalography Pilot Study
Ten patients with tubers related to tuberous sclerosis complex underwent quantitative susceptibility mapping. The QSM and R2* distributions from tubers studied with stereoelectroencephalography demonstrated that increased kurtosis of quantitative susceptibility mapping values was highly specific and associated with epileptogenicity.
- Resisted Inspiration Improves Visualization of CSF-Venous Fistulas in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension
This retrospective cohort of patients with observed or suspected CSF-venous fistula identified during standard maximum suspended inspiration CT myelography were rescanned using resisted inspiration and the Valsalva maneuver. Visibility of the CSF-venous fistula was greatest during resisted inspiration in most of the cases.
