CNN Based Segmentation of Infarcted Regions in Acute Cerebral Stroke Patients From Computed Tomography Perfusion Imaging [PDF]
More than 13 million people suffer from ischemic cerebral stroke worldwide each year. Thrombolytic treatment can reduce brain damage but has a narrow treatment window. Computed Tomography Perfusion imaging is a commonly used primary assessment tool for stroke patients, and typically the radiologists will evaluate resulting parametric maps to estimate ...

Quantitative perfusion and water transport time model from multi b-value diffusion magnetic resonance imaging validated against neutron capture microspheres [PDF]
Intravoxel Incoherent Motion (IVIM) is a non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging diffusion-based scan that uses a multitude of b-values to measure various speeds of molecular perfusion and diffusion, sidestepping inaccuracy of arterial input functions or bolus kinetics in quantitative imaging. We test a new method of IVIM quantification and compare our

Impact of Scotland’s comprehensive, smoke-free legislation on stroke [PDF]
<p>Background: Previous studies have reported a reduction in acute coronary events following smoke-free legislation. Evidence is lacking on whether stroke is also reduced. The aim was to determine whether the incidence of stroke, overalland by sub-

Correlating interleukin-10 promoter gene polymorphisms with human cerebral infarction onset
Evidence suggests that interleukin-10 (IL-10) deficiency exacerbates inflammation and worsens the outcome of brain ischemia. In view of the critical role of the single nucleotide polymorphic sites -1082 (A/G) and -819 (C/T) in the promoter region of the ...
