Continuous transcranial ultrasound in large vessel stroke: Image guidance for high‐intensity focused sonothrombolysis

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Monday, October 28, 2024 | Neuroimaging

Abstract Background and Purpose Sonothrombolysis is a potential adjunctive therapy for large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke. Bedside ultrasound image-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy could deliver higher energy therapeutic ultrasound to the...

A novel method to detect carotid artery in‐stent restenosis

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Monday, October 28, 2024 | Neuroimaging

Abstract Background and Purpose Carotid artery stenosis is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Despite carotid artery stenting, in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains challenging. Pigs serve as an ideal ISR model. This study aims to establish a novel porcine model of...

Multicenter validation of automated detection of paramagnetic rim lesions on brain MRI in multiple sclerosis

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Wednesday, October 16, 2024 | Neuroimaging

Abstract Background and Purpose Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) are an MRI biomarker of chronic inflammation in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). PRLs may aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of MS. However, manual identification of PRLs is time-consuming and prone...

Neuromuscular ultrasound for the differential diagnosis of radial tunnel syndrome and lateral epicondylitis

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Monday, October 14, 2024 | Neuroimaging

Abstract Background and Purpose Lateral elbow pain is quite common in everyday life. Lateral epicondylitis and radial tunnel syndrome are the most common causes of lateral elbow pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of...

Quantification of porcine lower thoracic spinal cord morphology with intact dura mater using high‐resolution μCT

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, October 11, 2024 | Neuroimaging

Abstract Background and Purpose Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating chronic intractable pain in the back, trunk, or limbs through stimulation of the dorsal column. Numerous studies have used swine as an analog of...

Slowly expanding lesions are associated with disease activity and gray matter loss in relapse‐onset multiple sclerosis

by Clinical Neuropsychologist | Friday, October 11, 2024 | Neuroimaging

Abstract Background and Purpose Slowly expanding lesions (SELs) have been proposed as novel MRI markers of chronic active lesions in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the mechanism through which SELs affect brain volume loss in patients with MS remains unknown....
