We read with great interest the recent study published in the American Journal of
Neuroradiology on November 22, 2012, entitled “T1-Weighted Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Epileptogenesis in NCC is associated with perilesional
inflammation and disruption in BBB. We quantified BBB in different stages of NCC by using …

Purpose To investigate the potential value and relationship of in vivo quantification of
apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) and T2 relaxation times for characterizing brain tumor …

Background The factors responsible for seizure recurrence in patients with Solitary calcified
neurocysticercosis (NCC) are not well understood. Blood brain barrier (BBB) breach may be …

In order to quantify features of the microvasculature it is essential to record high-quality
dynamic image data. Image acquisition can be performed using either T2-, T2*-or T1 …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Glioma and meningioma are the two most common types
of primary brain tumor. The aim of the present study was to analyze, using dynamic …

Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI provides an exciting opportunity to study tumour
microcirculation with high spatial resolution and without ionising radiation. Blood vessel …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to compare permeability measurements in high-
grade and low-grade glial neoplasms using a T2*-weighted method. Our hypothesis was …

Technologic limitations are sometimes a boon. Whether in medicine or in other areas of
science, limitations prompt a search for new and improved solutions. In surgical oncology …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging may be used to
quantify tissue fractional blood volume (fBV) and microvascular permeability. We tested this …
