Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging provides image contrast that is different
from that provided by conventional MR techniques. It is particularly sensitive for detection …

Background The pathophysiology of eclampsia remains unclear. While the majority of
patients develop reversible T2 hyperintense signal abnormalities on MR scans and reversible …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Diffusion- (DW) and perfusion-weighted (PW) MR
imaging reflect neurophysiologic changes during stroke evolution. We sought to determine …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging performed within 6 hours of the onset of stroke symptoms. MATERIALS AND …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Multiple biomarkers are used to quantify the severity of
traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to predict outcome. Few are satisfactory. CT and conventional …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The MR imaging characteristics of oligodendrogliomas and
astrocytomas on spin-echo (SE), echo-planar relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) maps, …

Background and Purpose— Acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO)—vertebral,
basilar, carotid terminus, middle and anterior cerebral arteries—likely portends a …

Background and Purpose—We sought to characterize the evolution of acute ischemic stroke
by MRI and its relationship to patients’ neurological outcome. Methods—Fourteen patients …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Diffusion and perfusion MR imaging have proved useful
in the assessment of acute stroke. We evaluated the utility of these techniques in detecting …

PURPOSE: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT) and
magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in a consecutive series of patients at presentation to the …
