Distinguishing Intramedullary Spinal Cord Neoplasms from Non-Neoplastic Conditions by Analyzing the Classic Signs on MRI in the Era of AI
Authors: Ernest J. Lim, Natalie W. L. Leong and Chi Long HoIntramedullary lesions can be challenging to diagnose, given the wide range of possible pathologies. Each lesion has unique clinical and imaging features, which are best evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging. Radiological imaging is unique with rich, descriptive patterns and classic signs-which are often metaphorical. In this review, we present a collection of classic MRI signs, ranging from neoplastic to non-neoplasti Read More

Imaging Paradigms in Nontraumatic Aortic Emergencies
More LessAortic cause of acute chest pain or abdominal pain can be easily overlooked. Unceasing wariness is required for timely diagnosis and prompt treatment. In such cases, cross-sectional imaging can detect the type of aortic involvement, its site, extent, complications, and could help clinicians decide on a management method and prognosticate the condition. This pictorial illustration represents a spectrum of life-threatening co Read More

The Reliability of Measuring Early Brain Edema with Computed Tomography
Authors: Yi-Fang Fan, Mi Shen, Xin-Xin Wang, Xiao-Yuan Liu, Yu-Ming Peng, Pei-Yi Gao and Ru-Quan HanBackground: Postoperative brain edema is a common complication in patients with high-grade glioma after craniotomy. Both Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are applied to diagnose brain edema. Usually, MRI is considered to be better than CT for identifying brain edema. However, MRI is not generally applied in diagnosing acute cerebral edema in the early postoperative stage. Wh Read More

Severity Evaluation of Regional Cerebrovascular Reactivity in Acute Stroke Patients Using SPECT
Authors: Chang-Ki Kang, Min-Gyu Song, Jiwon Yang, Haejun Lee and Yeong-Bae LeeBackground: Cerebrovascular Reactivity (CVR), as measured using perfusion Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), is an important indicator for the treatment and prognosis of cerebrovascular disease, but there are a few studies on acute stroke or small vascular disease using SPECT. Objective: This study evaluated the regional severity with quantitatively determined CVR in patients with acute stro Read More

Ground Penetrating Radar Algorithm to Sense the Depth of Blood Clot in Microwave Head Imaging
Authors: Lalitha Kandasamy and Manjula J.Background: Microwave imaging is one of the emerging non-invasive portable imaging techniques, which uses nonionized radiations to take a detailed view of biological tissues in the microwave frequency range. Brain stroke is an emergency caused by the interruption of the blood supply into parts of the brain, leading to the loss of millions of brain cells. Imaging plays a major role in stroke diagnosis for prompt treatment. Read More

Study of Lateral Wall Thickness of the Maxillary Sinus in Left and Right Sides for Female and Male: A Cross Sectional Retrospective Study Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Background: Dental implants are considered the first option to replace missing teeth. Alveolar bone resorption gradually progresses following tooth extraction leading to loss of vertical bone dimension for implant placement. The lateral window approach is the most commonly used procedure to treat vertical bone loss. Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the Lateral Wall Thickness (LWT) of the maxillary sinus an Read More

Correlation of Indeterminate Lesions of COVID-19 Pneumonia Detected on Computed Tomography with RT-PCR Results
Background: The typical findings of COVID-19 pneumonia include multilobar groundglass opacities and consolidation areas observed predominantly in the basal and peripheral parts of both lungs in computed tomography. Objective: The current study aimed to correlate indeterminate lesions of COVID-19 pneumonia detected on computed tomography with the results of the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PC Read More

Dynamic Imaging Changes of COVID-19 Pneumonia at Different Stages
Authors: Xiao-Yan Lv, Wei-Hong Xing, Xi Ma, Li-Hong Xing, Yu Zhang, Yi-Bo Lu, Li Dong, Meng Zheng, Xiao-Ping Yin, Wei-Min An and Bu-Lang GaoIntroduction: To investigate the Computed Tomography (CT) imaging characteristics and dynamic changes of COVID-19 pneumonia at different stages. Methods: Forty-six patients infected with COVID-19 who had chest CT scans were enrolled, and CT scans were performed 4-6 times with an interval of 2-5 days. Results: At the early stage (n=25), ground glass opacity was presented in 11 patients (11/25 or 44.0 %) and ground Read More

Breast MRI for Evaluating Residual Tumor Size Following Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Clinicopathologic Factors and MRI Imaging Features Affecting its Accuracy
Authors: Jin Y. Park, Young Seon Kim and Seung Eun LeeObjective: The aim of the study was to investigate the accuracy of breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for evaluating residual tumor size following Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NAC) and to identify clinicopathologic and MRI features affecting its accuracy. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively assessed 109 women who underwent preoperative Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) MRI following NAC and subsequen Read More

Evaluation of Aortic Distensibility in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Using CT
Authors: Qianqian Yang, Zheng Wang, Zengfa Huang, Shutong Zhang, Yuanliang Xie and Xiang WangBackground: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has attracted considerable attention with continuously increasing morbidity. Objective: To evaluate the aortic distensibility in patients with non-diabetic and hypertension-type Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) through Dual-Source Computed Tomography (DSCT). Methods: 120 patients with NAFLD (experimental group) and 30 healthy subjects (control group) were consecutivel Read More

Lateral Medullary Infarction with Contralateral Segmental Dysesthesia and Ipsilateral Headache: A Case Report
Authors: Renjie Wang, Yankun Shao and Lei XuIntroduction: The medulla oblongata is the lowest segment of the brain stem, located adjacent to the spinal cord, with a complex anatomical structure. Thus, a small injury to the medulla oblongata can show complex clinical manifestations. Case Presentation: A patient experienced dysesthesia, which manifested as numbness in her right lower limb and decreased temperature sense, and dizziness 20 days before ad Read More

Acute to Subacute Spinal Cord Infarction Mimicking Acute Multiple Sclerosis: Usefulness of Diffusion-weighted MRI for Diagnosis
Authors: Kyoung Y. Lee, Eun Kyung Khil, Sang Won Jo, Min Uk Jang, Jung-Ah Choi and Min-Sang LeeBackground: Spinal Cord Infarction (SCI) is difficult to diagnose because of its rarity, unknown etiology, and unestablished diagnostic criteria. Additionally, the timeline of SCI has not been studied in detail, as few studies using Diffusion-Weighted Image (DWI) sequences of the spine of a small target population have been previously conducted. Case Study: A 56-year-old male with underlying arrhythmia suddenly develope Read More

Solitary Fibrous Tumors Arising from Bilateral Ovaries: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Tongtong Tian, Jing Ye and Jun SunBackground: A Solitary Fibrous Tumor (SFT) is a distinct mesenchymal neoplasm. It was originally described as a tumor localized to the pleura but was later reported in several other anatomic sites and exhibited a wide spectrum of histological features. Owing to its rarity, the diagnosis of extrapleural SFT is challenging and requires an integrated approach comprising specific clinical, imaging, histological, and immunohistoc Read More
