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

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Distinguishing recurrent glial tumor from radiation necrosis
can be challenging. The purpose of this pilot study was to preliminarily compare …

Background Pituitary apoplexy is a rare and life-threatening complication occurring in 0.6–10.5%
of all cases of pituitary adenomas. Although the association between pituitary apoplexy …

Purpose The evaluation of orbital blood flow parameters in patients with unilateral
pseudoexfoliation syndrome (XFS) and in age–sex-matched control subjects using color Doppler …

The goal of this cross-sectional observational study was to determine the incidence of pineal
gland calcification (PGC), to investigate the interaction of PGC and aging, and to compare …

Despite the importance of intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration both in research and clinical
practice, the underlying biological mechanism of this phenomenon remains obscure. The …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We hypothesized that, in acute cerebral ischemic stroke,
anisotropic diffusion increases if T2 signal intensity is not substantially elevated and …

Despite a traditional perception of reliance on computed tomography and lack of acceptance
of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for detecting acute hemorrhage, MRI appears to be …
