Guidelines for imaging in Neuro-ophthalmic and Orbital disease
Neuroimaging has progressed from plain X-ray to magnetic resonance imaging, noninvasive angiography, and special sequences. Utilization of the appropriate investigation can save the sight and sometimes life of the patient.

Natural History and Management of Familial Paraganglioma Syndrome Type 1: Long-Term Data from a Large Family [PDF]
Head and neck paragangliomas are the most common clinical features of familial paraganglioma syndrome type 1 caused by succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit D (SDHD) mutation. The clinical management of this syndrome is still unclear.

Segmentation method for cerebral blood vessels from MRA using hysteresis [PDF]
Segmentation of cerebral blood vessels from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an open problem that could be solved with deep learning (DL). However, annotated data for training is often scarce. Due to the absence of open-source tools, we aim to develop a classical segmentation method that generates vessel ground truth from Magnetic Resonance ...

[Magnetic resonance angiography].
MR angiography (MRA) is a group of MRI techniques capable of producing projectional images of arteries and veins without the use of ionising radiation or catheters.This review describes two of the main techniques, time-of-flight (TOF) MRA and phase contrast MRA, that provide high signal-intensity vessels due to flow phenomena, and a third main ...

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound identifies early extrahepatic collateral contributing to residual hepatocellular tumor viability after transarterial chemoembolization. [PDF]
The mainstay of treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma is locoregional therapy including percutaneous ablation and transarterial chemo- and radioembolization.

A neural network model that learns differences in diagnosis strategies among radiologists has an improved area under the curve for aneurysm status classification in magnetic resonance angiography image series [PDF]
Purpose: To construct a neural network model that can learn the different diagnosing strategies of radiologists to better classify aneurysm status in magnetic resonance angiography images. Materials and methods: This retrospective study included 3423 time-of-flight brain magnetic resonance angiography image series (subjects: male 1843 [mean age, 50.2 +/

Diagnostic accuracy of 3.0-T magnetic resonance T1 and T2 mapping and T2-weighted dark-blood imaging for the infarct-related coronary artery in Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [PDF]
Background: Patients with recent non–ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction commonly have heterogeneous characteristics that may be challenging to assess clinically. Methods and Results: We prospectively studied the diagnostic accuracy of 2 novel (
