MRI Diagnosis of Cerebral Vascular Diseases

Cerebral Vascular Diseases

chapter, particularly in the beginning, assumes a degree of mathematical competence on the part of the reader such that all but the most physically inclined microscopists will be put off. Despite the inate sophistication of most of the topics covered, however, the tone of the contributions is uniformly terse and superficial, thus rendering this volume too pedestrian for specialists. Further, al...

[MRI diagnosis of multiple cerebral sclerosis].

OBJECTIVE To investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) feature of multiple cerebral sclerosis (MS) for better understanding and diagnosis of this disease. METHODS The MRI data of 32 patients with MS were reviewed. Conventional scanning with T1WI, T2WI, Flair sequence was performed, and 26 patients underwent Gd-DTPA enhanced scanning. The MS plaques were analyzed for their locations, si...

In utero MRI of cerebral vascular development in mice

Introduction Vascular system development involves a complex, three-dimensional branching process that is critical for normal embryogenesis. In a previous study [1], we developed a contrast-enhanced perfusion method to selectively enhance the cerebral arteries in fixed mouse embryos and demonstrated that Gli2 mutant mice lack a basilar artery, a key arterial input to the posterior brain regions....

Multimodal structural MRI in the diagnosis of motor neuron diseases

This prospective study developed an MRI-based method for identification of individual motor neuron disease (MND) patients and test its accuracy at the individual patient level in an independent sample compared with mimic disorders. 123 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), 44 patients with predominantly upper motor neuron disease (PUMN), 20 patients with ALS-mimic disorders, and 78...
