- 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.
- Choroid Plexus Calcification Correlates with Cortical Microglial Activation in Humans: A Multimodal PET, CT, MRI Study
Choroid plexus calcification can be accurately and automatically quantified using low-dose CT and MRI. Choroid plexus calcification—but not choroid plexus volume—predicted cortical inflammation.
- Investigation of Brain Iron in Niemann-Pick Type C: A 7T Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Study
Iron deposition in the pulvinar nucleus in Niemann-Pick type C disease is associated with thalamic atrophy and disease severity. This preliminary evidence supports the link between iron and neurodegeneration in Niemann-Pick type C.
