Parkinson disease is characterized by dopaminergic cell loss in the substantia nigra of the midbrain. There are various imaging markers for Parkinson disease. Recent advances in MRI have enabled elucidation of the underlying pathophysiologic changes in the nigral structure. This has contributed to accurate and early diagnosis and has improved disease progression monitoring. This article aims to review recent developments in nigral imaging for Parkinson disease and other parkinsonian syndromes, i

This study used resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) to investigate whole brain networks in patients with persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD). We compared rsfMRI data from 38 patients with PPPD and 38 healthy controls using whole brain and region of interest analyses. We examined correlations among connectivity and clinical variables and tested the ability of a machine learning algorithm to classify subjects using rsfMRI results. Patients with PPPD showed: (a)

BACKGROUND: Accurate detection of brain metastasis (BM) is important for cancer patients. We aimed to systematically review the performance and quality of machine-learning-based BM detection on MRI in the relevant literature. METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed for relevant studies reported before April 27, 2020. We assessed the quality of the studies using modified tailored questionnaires of the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) criteria and the Ch

BEICS revealed a low AE and good outcome rate at 6 months, especially in the stable patients. Midterm outcome was also favorable in the unstable patient group.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of a deep learning algorithm with that of radiologists in diagnosing maxillary sinusitis on Waters' view radiographs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Among 80,475 Waters' view radiographs, examined between May 2003 and February 2017, 9000 randomly selected cases were classified as normal or maxillary sinusitis based on radiographic findings and divided into training (n = 8000) and validation (n = 1000) sets to develop a deep lear

Background Brain glymphatic dysfunction may contribute to the development of α-synucleinopathies. Yet, noninvasive imaging and quantification remain lacking. Purpose To examine glymphatic function of the brain in isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and its relevance to phenoconversion with use of diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) analysis along the perivascular space (ALPS). Materials and Methods This prospective study included consecutive participants diagnosed with RBD, age-

IDH wild-type grade II DGs are associated with a lower ADC and poor clinical outcomes. Combining IDH mutational status and ADC may allow more accurate prediction of clinical outcomes for patients with grade II DGs.

Combined MRCP and MRA might be useful for the differential diagnosis of malignant and benign IPMTs of the pancreas.

The trochlear nerve was visualized 100% of the time on high-resolution imaging with a voxel smaller than the nerve diameter. High-resolution imaging should have an important role in investigating the pathogenic mechanism of neuropathic strabismus, such as congenital superior oblique palsy.

Management of symptomatic carotid near occlusion especially in high-risk patients is different from outcome analysis of NASCET. We evaluated outcome in high-risk patients with symptomatic near occlusion. For 48 patients with near occlusion out of 166 symptomatic high-risk patients who underwent carotid stenting, we assessed the procedural success defined as residual stenosis <30%, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at one and six months following stenting, and the 13 cerebrovascular factors related to

Higher DWI resolution increased lesion detectability in patients with TGA. Considering the small size of TGA lesions, the resolution of DWI is an important parameter influencing lesion detectability.

Abstract Background The T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) mismatch sign, has been considered a highly specific imaging biomarker of IDH-mutant, 1p/19q noncodeleted low-grade glioma. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of T2-FLAIR mismatch sign for prediction of a patient with IDH-mutant, 1p/19q noncodeleted low-grade glioma, and identify the causes responsible for the heterogeneity across the included studies. Methods A systematic li

Various factors of SxP, angiographic type, and mode of treatment should be considered in order to obtain a more favorable outcome for patients with CSDAVF. Embolization via venous approach tended to result in a more complete cure than that via arterial approach.

Amide proton transfer-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (APTw-MRI), which is effective in tumor characterization, has expanded its role in the head and neck. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic ability of APTw-MRI in differentiating malignant from benign major salivary gland tumors compared with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI. Between December 2017 and November 2018, 38 subjects, who were diagnosed with major salivary gland tumors and who underwent pre
