MRI for peripheral trigeminal neuropathy

Seventeen patients were examined to find out how useful magnetic resonance neurography (MRN) is in the management of peripheral trigeminal neuropathies. The results were compared with clinical and surgical findings in operated patients and the effect on clinical...

Prostatic arterial embolisation: what is it good for?

This study examines the effect of prostatic arterial embolisation (PAE) on various prostate gland anatomical zones. The authors concluded that PAE can significantly decrease prostate volumes, and poor clinical outcomes are associated with smaller volume reductions....

Osteoid osteoma: a propensity score matching study

These authors have compared radiofrequency ablation and magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound surgery for minimally invasive treatment of osteoid osteoma. They looked at outcomes in pain relief and motor functional recovery in osteoid osteoma patients. Key...

Small cell lung cancer: what role does 18F-FDG PET/CT play?

Fifty-five patients were included in this study, which assesses 18F-FDG PET/CT in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) staging and metabolic (SUVmax, MTV and TLG) and morphologic (CTvol) variables as predictors for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS)....

Microanatomy of the subcallosal artery

This article examines in-vivo microanatomy of the subcallosal artery branching from the anterior communicating artery (ACoA) using time-of-flight (TOF) magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at 7 Tesla, proving that high-resolution in-vivo 7 T TOF MRA can precisely show...
