The exposure time of each projection was 3 s, and 2001 projections were collected per rotation. Images were reconstructed to an isotropic voxel size of 4.9 μm. The raw data obtained from the XRM scan was processed using Amira software and custom SimpleITK scripts (v0.10.0, http://www....
In an exploratory sample of good clinical grade SAH patients compared to healthy controls, we identified a region of the posterior cerebellum for which acute changes on MRI were associated with cognitive impairment. Whilst further investigation will be required to confirm causality, use of this ...
In some cases, the doctor may ask for a CT scan or an MRI to check on the extent of the damage that occurred. More severe injuries may need surgery to relieve pressure from swelling. If a child sustains a head injury, don’t automatically have them X-rayed. Monitor them carefully ...
It is a challenge to care for patients who experience anxiety and pain during an MRI. However, several aspects of the examination can be adjusted to improve the care for these patients. Findings from previous research were used to develop a care intervention, the effects of which are explored...
Considering that re-irradiation can be associated with side effects like radiation necrosis, brain edema, increased corticosteroid use or need for bevacizumab treatment, these results could have a significant clinical importance in the selection of suitable patients. These results are to be further ...
Despite the challenges, there has been a growing research effort to characterize structural and functional effects of mTBI. As shown in this paper, the full range of neuroimaging technologies have been brought to bear on this issue, including CT, positron emission tomography (PET), single photon ...
Motor and cognitive functions can be restored in experimental animal models by means of intrastriatal transplantation of fetal striatal neuroblasts. We explored whether grafts of human fetal striatal tissue could survive and have detectable effects in five patients with mild to moderate Huntington's ...
The hospital electronic databases were used to identify children who were hospitalized or had a head CT scan due to their injury and received the diagnosis in their medical record of "head injury", "fall accident", "concussion" or "motor vehicle accident". For the ECI group, the relevant di...
Currently, patients with clinically isolated syn- drome (CIS) and brain lesions on MRI sugges- tive of multiple sclerosis (MS), are offered a con- firmatory MRI scan after 6 months. Researchers in Italy have found, however, that conversion to a diagnosis of MS based on MRI can be made...
This aspect should be carefully known, in particular for the surgeon, of whom the line of vision is typically oriented in non-axial planes [21]. 2.2. Magnetic resonance imaging Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is still considered an important imaging technique to evaluate post-operative pancreatic...
