Influence of the site of arterial occlusion on multiple baseline hemodynamic MRI parameters and post-thrombolytic recanalization in acute stroke
In this prospective MRI study, we evaluated the impact of the site of occlusion on multiple baseline perfusion parameters and subsequent recanalization in 49 stroke patients who were given intravenous tissue p...

MRI of acute post-ischemic cerebral hemorrhage in stroke patients: diagnosis with T2*-weighted gradient-echo sequences
The use of T2*-weighted sequences has been advocated for early differentiation between hematoma and ischemia in patients with acute stroke. Early hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic stroke is an adverse event...

Can cerebrovascular reactivity be assessed by dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced MRI?
The acetazolamide (ACZ) test is performed to evaluate the decrease in cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) by investigation of vasomotor reactivity (VMR). Our aim was to study cerebral blood flow and blood volum...

Matching of digitised brain atlas to magnetic resonance images
A method has been developed to match a standard digitised brain atlas onto MR images for identification of cerebral structures in anatomical images. This method uses, first, a three-dimensional crude registrat...

MRI of intramedullary cavernous haemangiomas
We reviewed 11 cases of intramedullary cavernous haemangiomas (IMCH) studied by MRI, to assess its diagnostic value in these lesions. Follow-up MRI was obtained in five patients 7 days-2 years following the in...

Dynamic cerebral gadolinium-enhanced subtraction MR angiography
Dynamic cerebral GD-enhanced subtraction MR angiography (MRSA) and comparative two-dimensional time-of-flight MRA were performed in 15 patients (17 examinations). MRSA uses a fast Turbo-FLASH sequence (eight c...

Magnetic resonance imaging contribution to the diagnosis of spinal cord compression by a subdural arachnoid cyst
A case of subdural arachnoid cyst of the thoracic spine was studied by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), myelography and CT myelography. Myelography and especially CT myelography suggested the diagnosis; MRI e...
