Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a clinical investigation became available in the early 1980s. Since then this method has proven to be a valuable additional diagnostic tool in the recognition and delineation of space-occupying lesions of the brain (1, 2, 3, 5). In the present study the...
On brain MRI without contrast, meningiomas usually appear as hypointense on T1-weighted imaging and as hyperintense on T2-weighted imaging. MRI spectroscopy can be used to detect malignant meningiomas by comparing the metabolic and chemical contents of the healthy tissue with malignant tumor. Brain ...
With MRI, this tumor has a hyposignal on T1 and a hypersignal on T2 (Fig. 99.9). Localized contrast uptake is possible, especially if there is an oligodendroglial or pilocytic nodule (Josan et al., 2007). Relapse after resection, even if incomplete, is rare and generally there is n...
CT scan –CT scans help the doctor to get a detailed examination of your body. These are more detailed than X-ray scans and can be developed with or without contrast. A special dye is used to create contrast, which helps doctors to identify internal structures clearly. MRI –This also use...
For the first time, we performed a DSC-MRI perfusion analysis using a breath-hold task, without exogenous contrast or additional medical device equipment. We have found the following: The AIF during a breath-hold task is uniquely characterized by a negative signal change, likely representing vasod...

The current standard for brain tumor imaging involves multi-parametric MRI, including sequences like pre- and post-contrast T1-weighted, T2-weighted, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), diffusion-weighted (DWI), and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) as commonly obtained sequences. High-...
MRI imaging was used to assess tumor response 6 weeks after infusion, which showed a partial response in 1 patient and stable disease in 7 patients. The median overall survival was 11.1 months after the first T-cell infusion and 24.5 months after diagnosis. A difference between this study ...

The present study sought to uncover the genetic architecture of multimodal BAG and explore the causal relationships between protective/risk factors and decelerated/accelerated brain age. To accomplish this, we analyzed multimodal brain MRI scans from 42,089 participants from the UK Biobank (UKBB) stud...
