Prevalence of White Matter Hyperintensities in a Young Healthy PopulationJournal of Neuroimaging - Tập 16 Số 3 - Trang 243-251 - 2006

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

High‐Resolution B‐Mode Ultrasound Reading Methods in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) CohortJournal of Neuroimaging - Tập 1 Số 4 - Trang 168-172 - 1991
Ward A. Riley, Ralph W. Barnes, M. Gene Bond, Greg Evans, Lloyd E. Chambless, Gerardo Heiss
To measure the association of cardiovascular disease risk factors with carotid
artery diameter and thickness of the intima and media in the general population,
standardized ultrasound scanning and reading protocols were performed on 15,800
individuals in the multicenter Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.
In a randomly selected subset of 855 participants, the mean artery diameter,

Correction for Susceptibility Distortions Increases the Performance of Arterial Spin Labeling in Patients with Cerebrovascular DiseaseJournal of Neuroimaging - Tập 26 Số 4 - Trang 436-444 - 2016

ABSTRACTBACKGROUND AND PURPOSEArterial spin labeling (ASL) is an MRI technique
to measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) without the need of exogenous contrast
agents and is thus a promising alternative to the clinical standard dynamic
susceptibility‐weighted contrast‐enhanced (DSC) perfusion imaging. Latest
international guidelines encourage its application in the clinical setting.
However, susceptibi... hiện toàn bộ
In vivo Detection of Cortical Microinfarcts on Ultrahigh‐Field MRIJournal of Neuroimaging - Tập 23 Số 1 - Trang 28-32 - 2013

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
Different Flow Patterns in Infarction of the Middle Cerebral ArteryJournal of Neuroimaging - Tập 7 Số 2 - Trang 69-77 - 1997
Vera Zbornikova
Difficulties exist in distinguishing patients with currently recanalized
mainstem occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) from branch occlusion.
Thirty‐five patients, 8 women and 27 men, at a mean age of 64 ± 15 (standard
deviation) years, with clinical signs of infarction in the MCA territory
confirmed by computed tomography (CT), were evaluated by repeated clinical and
transcranial Doppler... hiện toàn bộ
Neck Vessel Cross‐Sectional Area Measured with MRI: Scan‐Rescan Reproducibility for Longitudinal EvaluationsJournal of Neuroimaging - Tập 28 Số 1 - Trang 48-56 - 2018

ABSTRACTBACKGROUND AND PURPOSEThe cross‐sectional area (CSA) of common carotid
arteries‐internal carotid arteries (CCA‐ICAs), vertebral arteries (VAs), and
internal jugular veins (IJVs) is influenced by aging. However, the neck vessel
CSA can be affected by other factors as well, including subject positioning,
hydration, and respiration, especially in longitudinal studies. This study aimed
to asse... hiện toàn bộ
Brain Volume Changes on Longitudinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Normal Older PeopleJournal of Neuroimaging - 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
Cluster Confidence Index: A Streamline‐Wise Pathway Reproducibility Metric for Diffusion‐Weighted MRI TractographyJournal of Neuroimaging - 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

Spinal Cord Pilomyxoid Astrocytoma: An Unusual TumorJournal of Neuroimaging - Tập 17 Số 4 - Trang 371-374 - 2007

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

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
