Intraobserver and interobserver variations in cortical transit time measurement in children with pelviureteric junction obstruction [PDF]
Cortical transit time (CTT) has recently been shown to be a useful parameter in the management of children with pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJO).

Renal cortical transit time as a predictor for pyeloplasty in pediatric patients with unilateral hydronephrosis [PDF]
Majority of patients with unilateral hydronephrosis (HN) detected on ultrasound do not require pyeloplasty. The measurement of the cortical transit time (CTT) has been demonstrated by several authors to predict the need for patients who may require ...

Renal cortical transit time in the evaluation of prenatally detected presumed pelvi ureteric junction like obstruction: A systematic review [PDF]
Introduction: Differentiating nonobstructive from obstructive dilatation of the kidney is a clinical dilemma in prenatally detected hydronephrosis. Many radionuclide renogram parameters have been used to differentiate obstructed from non-obstructed units,

Predictive Value of Cortical Transit Time on Diuretic Renography in Determining the Need for Surgery and Evaluating the Postoperative Outcome in Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in Children: A Prospective Observational Study [PDF]
Background: Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is the most common cause of antenatal hydronephrosis. Although the majority of them improve with time, none of the existing diagnostic modalities can accurately predict which hydronephrotic kidney is ...

Parametric color-coding-derived microvascular transit time may predict infarction and reveals microcirculatory benefits of Tenecteplase in acute ischemic stroke [PDF]
BackgroundDespite successful macrovascular recanalization a subset of patients with a large vessel occlusion (LVO) have persisting microvascular occlusion, known as the” no-reflow-phenomenon.” In this study, we evaluated whether microvascular transit ...

Laminar perfusion imaging with zoomed arterial spin labeling at 7 Tesla
Laminar fMRI based on BOLD and CBV contrast at ultrahigh magnetic fields has been applied for studying the dynamics of mesoscopic brain networks. However, the quantitative interpretations of BOLD/CBV fMRI results are confounded by different baseline ...
