Deep learning-based reconstruction for three-dimensional volumetric brain MRI: a qualitative and quantitative assessment
Neuroradiology 5 min.
Three-dimensional (3D) high-resolution structural MRI is fundamental to evaluate various neurological diseases. 3D T1-weighted imaging is a basic MRI sequence used for the evaluation of structural anatomy and volumetric analysis. To obtain acceptable image quality in a limited scan time, many accelerating...
Translation of hyperpolarized [13C,15N2]urea MRI for novel human brain perfusion studies
Neuroradiology 5 min.
Over the past decade, hyperpolarized (HP) carbon-13 MRI, utilizing dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (dDNP)1, has become a powerful clinical-research molecular imaging approach2, 3–4. This stable-isotope (non-radioactive) technology enables real-time imaging of cellular metabolic processes...
The value of whole-body MRI instead of only brain MRI in addition to 18 F-FDG PET/CT in the staging of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer
Neuroradiology 4 min.
Lung cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide and the leading cause of cancer-related death [1]. It is histologically broadly divided into non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), representing 80–85% f patients, and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) [2]. Because of absent or unspecific...
Evaluation of brain microstructure changes in surviving fetus of monochorionic twin pregnancies with single intrauterine fetal death using diffusion weighted imaging: a MRI-based cohort study
Neuroradiology 4 min.
Monochorionic twin pregnancies have some complications [1, 2, 3, 4–5]. As one of the main complications, single intrauterine fetal death (sIUFD), occurs approximately 6% of twin pregnancies after 20 weeks of gestation [6, 7], which usually has an effect on the surviving fetus, especially in...
Fetal brain development in fetal growth restriction using MRI: a systematic review
Neuroradiology 6 min.
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) complicates 5–10% of pregnancies and affects approximately 30 million pregnancies per year worldwide [1, 2]. It is most often caused by placental insufficiency and leads to significant perinatal morbidity and mortality [3]. Placental insufficiency reduces both the...
