BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Preoperative embolization of meningiomas is frequently
used to facilitate surgery and to reduce intraoperative blood loss. The purpose of this study …

Purpose To correlate pineal parenchyma volume (PP) to circadian melatonin profiles and to
determine the 24‐hour melatonin per volume of pineal tissue (MLPV). Furthermore, we …

Background and Purpose— Models of photochemically-induced thrombosis are widely used
in cerebrovascular research. Photothrombotic brain infarctions can be induced by systemic …

Purpose The aim of this study was to present and evaluate a standardized technique for
brain segmentation of cranial computed tomography (CT) using probabilistic partial volume …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool to assess brain lesions, but currently
available contrast agents are limited in the assessment of cellular and functional alterations. …

Rationale and Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare different contrast agents
for longitudinal liver and spleen imaging in a mouse model of liver metastasis. Materials …

Object Reliable visualization of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is indispensable for accurate
placement of electrodes in deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery for patients with Parkinson …

Purpose To investigate the relation between circadian saliva melatonin levels and pineal
volume as determined by MRI. Plasma melatonin levels follow a circadian rhythm with a high …

Background Deep-brain stimulation (DBS) of the internal globus pallidus (GPi) has shown
remarkable therapeutic benefits for treatment-resistant neurological disorders including …

The aim of our study was to visualize developing vessel occlusion in focal cerebral ischemia
in vivo. Cortical photothrombosis (PT) was induced in rats, which in addition received …
