Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.This case illustrates sequential intracranial occlusions in large‐vessel vasculitis compatible with Takayasu arteritis preserving perfusion through robust collateral pathways. Transcranial color‐coded duplex sonography identified characteristic blunted flow patterns and focal turbulence, underscoring its value in detecting hemodynamic compromise beyond

Sonographic Diagnosis of an Intercostal Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Case Report and Literature Review
Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.A 63‐year‐old male presented to the emergency department after being found unconscious during a welfare check. Following a prolonged three‐month hospital admission, the patient developed left flank pain. Spectral Doppler ultrasound revealed a large isoechoic lesion with layering echoes, and spectral Doppler demonstrated bidirectional flow.

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Variations in the anatomical branching patterns of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) directly affect vascular identification, surgical planning, and risk of intraoperative vascular injury. However, despite the extensive classification of these variations, the principles governing the occurrence of certain ...

Characterization of Pulmonary Functional Abnormalities in Systemic Sclerosis Using Xenon MRI
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Xenon MRI is increasingly used to evaluate patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), both of which are common manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc). As such, Xe‐MRI may be suited to interrogate lung function impairment in SSc.

Postprandial Changes in Thoracic Aortic Flow Detected by 4D Flow MRI May Influence Study Results
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background While there is a growing body of data using 4D flow MRI to distinguish between normal and abnormal blood flow values in the thoracic aorta, the extent of physiological variation or lack thereof is potentially undervalued. Physiological processes such as postprandial changes to hemodynamics might influence data, normal values, follow‐
