Prevalence of White Matter Hyperintensities in a Young Healthy Population Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 243-251 - 2006
Ramona O. Hopkins, Callie J. Beck, David L. Burnett, Lindell K. Weaver, Jeff Victoroff, Erin D. Bigler
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose. White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are bright
objects observed in the white matter on brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
WMHs are often reported as “normal” findings but may represent pathological
changes. The prevalence of WMHs appears to increase with increasing age although
both the typical timing and clinical significance of their appearance among

Brain Volume Changes on Longitudinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Normal Older People Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 393-400 - 2001
Yong Tang, Gregory T. Whitman, Iván A. López, Robert W. Baloh
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose. The purpose of this study is to investigate the
longitudinal age‐related changes in human brain volume using stereological
methods. Methods. Sixty‐six older participants (34 men, 32 women, age [mean ±
SD] 78.9 ± 3.3 years, range 74–87 years) with normal baseline and follow‐up
examinations underwent 2 MRIs (magnetic resonance imaging) of the brain on
average 4.4 yea... hiện toàn bộ
Magnetization Transfer MRI in Multiple Sclerosis Tập 17 Số s1 - 2007
Massimo Filippi, Federica Agosta
ABSTRACTIn multiple sclerosis (MS), conventional magnetic resonance imaging
(cMRI) has proved to be sensitive for detecting lesions and their changes over
time. However, cMRI is not able to characterize and quantify the tissue damage
within and outside such lesions. Magnetization transfer (MT) MRI is a
quantitative technique with the potential to overcome this limitation and, as a
consequence, to ... hiện toàn bộ
In vivo Detection of Cortical Microinfarcts on Ultrahigh‐Field MRI Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang 28-32 - 2013
Yuichiro Ii, Masayuki Maeda, Hirotaka Kida, Ko Matsuo, Akihiro Shindo, Akira Taniguchi, Hidekazu Tomimoto
ABSTRACTBACKGROUND AND PURPOSECortical microinfarcts (CMIs) are detected as
small foci restricted to the cerebral cortex in autopsy brains. CMIs are thought
to be caused by cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in the elderly and may be a
risk for dementia. We aimed to visualize CMIs, which remain invisible on
conventional MRI, using double inversion recovery (DIR) and 3‐dimensional fluid
attenuated i... hiện toàn bộ
Tomographic Electroencephalography/Magnetoencephalography Tập 5 Số 1 - Trang 35-45 - 1995
Robert W. Thatcher
New developments in multimodal registration of electroencephalography (EEG),
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and pOSitron emission tomography (PET) are
presented as a method to create a tomographic EEG. Three‐dimensional information
about the x,y,z location of the sources of event‐related potentials is
corroborated through the use of experimental design and coregistration with MRI
and PET. Once ... hiện toàn bộ
Cluster Confidence Index: A Streamline‐Wise Pathway Reproducibility Metric for Diffusion‐Weighted MRI Tractography Tập 28 Số 1 - Trang 64-69 - 2018
Kesshi Jordan, Bagrat Amirbekian, Anisha Keshavan, Roland G. Henry
ABSTRACTBACKGROUNDDiffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging tractography can
be used to create models of white matter fascicles. Anatomical and pathological
variability between subjects can drastically alter the tractography output, so
standardizing results across a cohort is nontrivial. Furthermore, tractography
methods have inherently low reproducibility due to stochasticity (for
probabilist... hiện toàn bộ
Spinal Cord Pilomyxoid Astrocytoma: An Unusual Tumor Tập 17 Số 4 - Trang 371-374 - 2007
Mishal Mendiratta‐Lala, Shehanaz Ellika, Jorge A. Gutiérrez, Suresh Patel, Rajan Jain
ABSTRACT We present the imaging findings of a case of spinal pilomyxoid
astrocytoma in a 29‐year‐old woman with history of neck and back pain and
weakness of bilateral upper extremities. A contrast‐enhanced magnetic resonance
(MR) imaging study revealed an extensive intradural extramedullary lesion
occupying most of the thecal sac extending from mid cervical up to the
lumbosacral region with exten... hiện toàn bộ
Interobserver and Intraobserver Reliability of Venous Transcranial Color‐Coded Flow Velocity Measurements Tập 11 Số 4 - Trang 385-392 - 2001
Erwin Stolz, Sait Seymen Babacan, Rolf-Hasso Bödeker, Tibo Gerriets, Manfred Kaps
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose. Venous transcranial color‐coded duplex
sonography is a new technique for noninvasive evaluation of the intracranial
venous system. However, the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of this
method is unclear. Methods. In 23 healthy volunteers (30 ± 7.3 years of age),
the deep middle cerebral vein (dMCV), basal vein (BV), vein of Galen (VG), and
straight (SRS)... hiện toàn bộ
MR Findings of Intrathecal Chemotherapy‐Related Myelopathy in Two Cases: Mimicker of Subacute Combined Degeneration Tập 17 Số 2 - Trang 184-187 - 2007
C J Lu, Ming Yao, Hon‐Man Liu, Ya‐Fang Chen
ABSTRACTWe report the findings of spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in 2
patients who had undergone intrathecal chemotherapy and presented with the
subacute onset of ascending numbness and weakness. MRI revealed a symmetric
hyperintensity at the posterior columns of the spinal cord from the lower
cervical region down to the conus medullaris level on T2‐weighted images, and no
abnormal enhanc... hiện toàn bộ
