Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) provides image contrasts that are different from conventional magnetic resonance techniques. DWI is particularly sensitive for detecting acute ischemic stroke, but it also has many…
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging is the best imaging tool for detecting acute ischemic brain injury. Studies have shown its high accuracy for delineating irreversible tissue damage within the first few…
From their origin as simple techniques primarily used for detecting acute cerebral ischemia, diffusion MR imaging techniques have rapidly evolved into a versatile set of tools that provide the only…
Traumatic brain injury is a common cause of death worldwide, affecting mostly young people. The most feasible examination to be performed in the emergency room is computed tomography. Magnetic resonance…
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been used by investigators and clinicians to assess the development of the brain in childhood to understand both patterns of normal growth and patterns by…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered the most common inflammatory autoimmune neurologic disorder and the most frequent cause of nontraumatic neurologic disability in young and middle-age adults. This article reviews the…
Currently carotid imaging has 2 main focuses: assessment of luminal stenosis and classification of atherosclerotic plaque characteristics. Measurement of the degree of stenosis is the main assessment used for current…
Information obtained from brain imaging is now summarized in the form of various neuroimaging scores to help physicians in making therapeutic decisions and determining prognosis. The Alberta Stroke Program Early…
Stroke is a leading cause of death and adult morbidity worldwide. By defining stroke symptom onset by the time the patient was last known to be well, many patients whose…
Diffusion-weighted MRI provides image contrast that is dependent on the molecular motion of water. Diffusion-weighted imaging is the most reliable method for early detection of cerebral ischemia, for the definition…
