This content presents infectious and vascular spinal emergencies, including epidural abscess, nontraumatic epidural hematoma, vascular malformations, and spinal cord infarction. The spine is subjected to multiple potential insults, such as…
For over 20 years, conventional MR imaging has been used for assessing brain tumors. However, conventional MR imaging tends to underestimate the extent of the tumor, perhaps leading to suboptimal…
Worldwide, an estimated 10 million people are affected annually by traumatic brain injury (TBI). More than 5 million Americans currently live with long-term disability as a result of TBI and…
The various findings observed on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging examinations in patients with seizures reflect the variety of different causes that give rise to this common…
In the past two decades, minimally invasive neurointerventional therapies have become the standard of care for a variety of neurologic diseases. This article reviews some of the principal areas in…
Intracranial pressure (ICP) is the pressure within the intracranial space. Intracranial hypotension is a clinical syndrome in which low cerebrospinal fluid volume (CSF) results in orthostatic headache. Severe cases can…
Recognizing typical midface fracture injuries and describing the imaging findings that are relevant to the maxillofacial surgeon are important. Particular attention should be paid to findings that potentially result in…
This article addresses the imaging considerations for subtle early studies of imaging findings in sinusitis, focusing on early detection by the radiologist, which depend on dedicated imaging protocols and a…
In this article the individual components of multimodal computed tomography and multimodal magnetic resonance imaging are discussed, the current status of neuroimaging for the evaluation of the acute ischemic stroke…
The objective of this article was to emphasize the use of diffusion-weighted imaging in the diagnosis and follow-up of several major disease contexts, as established in recent literature. In some…
