Performance of Automated ASPECTS Software and Value as a Computer-Aided Detection Tool [ADULT BRAIN]
CONCLUSIONS:
Automated ASPECTS had agreement with the criterion standard similar to that of conventional ASPECTS. However, including automated ASPECTS during the evaluation of NCCT in acute stroke improved the agreement with the criterion standard and improved interrater agreement, which could, therefore, result in more uniform scoring in clinical practice.

Ecchordosis Physaliphora: Does It Even Exist? [HEAD & NECK]
SUMMARY:
The term ecchordosis physaliphora (EP) has been used historically to describe a benign notochordal remnant with no growth potential, most commonly occuring in the central clivus. Unfortunately, the radiologic appearance of EP overlaps considerably with the appearance of low-grade chordomas, which do have the potential for growth. In this article, we review new pathologic terminology that better describes this family of diseases, and we propose new radiologic terms that better address the uncertainty of the radiologic diagnosis. The surgical importance of accurate terminology and the implications for patient care a...

The Development and Application of a Cost-Effective Cervical Spine Phantom for Use in Fluoroscopically Guided Lateral C1-C2 Spinal Puncture Training [SPINE]
CONCLUSIONS:
This cervical phantom model is affordable and replicable and demonstrates training utility to prepare residents for performing lateral C1–C2 spinal puncture. This is a rare procedure, so the use of a phantom model before patient encounters is invaluable to resident education and training. (Source: American Journal of Neuroradiology)

Validation of a New Semiautomated Segmentation Pipeline Based on the Spinal Cord Toolbox DeepSeg Algorithm to Estimate the Cervical Canal Area [SPINE]
CONCLUSIONS:
The proposed pipeline is a reliable tool to estimate the cervical canal area. The cervical canal area is a stable measure across time; moreover, when cervical sequences are not available, the cervical canal area could be estimated using brain T1WI. (Source: American Journal of Neuroradiology)

Predicting Drug Treatment Outcomes in Childrens with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex-Related Epilepsy: A Clinical Radiomics Study [FUNCTIONAL]
CONCLUSIONS:
Our results suggested that the radiomic and clinical features model may predict the epilepsy drug treatment outcome. Age of onset, infantile spasms, antiseizure medication numbers, epileptiform discharge in left parieto-occipital area of electroencephalography, and gene mutation type are the key clinical factors to predict the epilepsy drug treatment outcome. The texture and first-order statistic features are the most valuable radiomic features for predicting drug treatment outcomes. (Source: American Journal of Neuroradiology)

T2-FLAIR Mismatch Sign in Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma [PEDIATRICS]
CONCLUSIONS:
The T2-FLAIR mismatch sign was not observed in the common molecular alterations, BRAF p.V600E–mutated and KIAA1549-BRAF fused pediatric low-grade gliomas, while it was encountered in pediatric low-grade gliomas with rare pediatric molecular alterations. (Source: American Journal of Neuroradiology)
