The purpose of this study is to develop a noninvasive quantitative imaging scheme to assess the functional microanatomy of dog brain using high resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) at 7-Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. Diffusion weighted images (DWIs) along 25 diffusion-encoding directions, combined with T2 weighted images, were acquired using the standard spin-echo diff...

Objective To assess the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patterns associated with central nervous system infection with Cryptococcus sp. in relation to patient immune status. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective study of MRI data for 19 patients with neurocryptococcosis who underwent the examination between January 2000 and March 2014. The MRI characteristics examined included lesio...

In this article, we review the basics of diffusion tensor imaging and functional MRI, their current utility in preoperative neurosurgical mapping, and their limitations. We also discuss potential future applications, including implementation of resting state functional MRI. We then discuss perfusion and diffusion-weighted imaging and their application in advanced neuro-oncologic practice. We ex...

This study was carried out to determine the risk of new ischemic events, demonstrated by diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) in patients undergoing diagnostic conventional cerebral angiogram. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Current Contents, Cochrane Central, Expert Files, and bibliographies included articles were systematically searched identify prospective studies that reported MRI findin...

Optic chiasm lesions in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice were characterized using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and validated using electron microscopy (EM). MR images were collected from 3 days after induction to remission, approximately 20 days after induction. Hematoxylin and eosin, solochrome cyanin-stained sections, and EM im...

A Medline/Embase search was undertaken from 1980 to July 2016 using the following key words; Osteoporotic vertebral fracture; neoplastic vertebral fractures; chemical shift {in-phase and out-of phase} MR imaging; diffusion weighted sequence and combinations thereof. Only articles related to chemical shift MRI and diffusion weighted MR imaging of the spine were recruited. Details of all the stud...
