Automatic Quantification of Normal Brain Gyrification Patterns and Changes in Fetuses with Polymicrogyria and Lissencephaly Based on MRI [PEDIATRIC NEUROIMAGING]
CONCLUSIONS:
This study presents a pipeline for automatic quantification of fetal brain gyrification and provides normal developmental curves from a large cohort. Our method significantly differentiated fetuses with lissencephaly and polymicrogyria, demonstrating lower gyrification values. The method can aid radiologic assessment, highlight fetuses at risk, and may improve early identification of fetuses with cortical malformations. (Source: American Journal of Neuroradiology)

CT of the Larynx: Is an Additional High-Resolution Acquisition Necessary for Diagnostic Accuracy? [HEAD AND NECK IMAGING]
CONCLUSIONS:
Reformatted images from our institution's standard neck CT acquisition were less accurate than dedicated images of the larynx for analysis of laryngeal tumor extension. Focused images of the larynx were needed to optimize interpretation. (Source: American Journal of Neuroradiology)

Cervical Osteomyelitis and Diskitis as a Complication of Neopharyngeal Breakdown: A Multisite Case Series Review [HEAD AND NECK IMAGING]
SUMMARY:
Laryngectomy and pharyngectomy are surgical options for advanced laryngeal or pharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Cervical osteomyelitis-diskitis, occurring when there is dehiscence of the posterior neopharyngeal wall, is an uncommon complication of laryngopharyngectomy. This case series describes imaging findings of pharyngoesophageal wall breakdown with subsequent cervical spine infection and demonstrates that most of these patients had undergone prior esophageal or neopharyngeal dilations for benign posttreatment stricture. Neck pain, fever, or serologic evidence of infection should prompt careful evaluation fo...

Deep Learning-Based Synthetic TOF-MRA Generation Using Time-Resolved MRA in Fast Stroke Imaging [ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE]
CONCLUSIONS:
A CycleGAN-based deep learning model was developed to generate synthetic TOF from time-resolved MRA. Synthetic TOF can potentially assist in the detection of large-vessel occlusion in stroke centers using time-resolved MRA. (Source: American Journal of Neuroradiology)

Brain Age Estimation on a Dementia Cohort Using FLAIR MRI Biomarkers [ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE]
CONCLUSIONS:
The BrainAGE metric can allow clinicians to consider a single explainable value that summarizes all the biomarkers because it considers many dimensions of disease and can determine whether the subject has normal aging patterns or if he or she is trending into a high-risk category using a single value.

Prevalence and Characteristics of Intracranial Aneurysms in Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia [NEUROVASCULAR/STROKE IMAGING]
CONCLUSIONS:
The prevalence of intracranial aneurysms in this large cohort study is comparable with that in the general population and might be increased slightly due to hemodynamic factors associated with shunting brain vascular malformations. (Source: American Journal of Neuroradiology)

Monoclonal Antibodies: What the Diagnostic Neuroradiologist Needs to Know [ADULT BRAIN]
SUMMARY:
Monoclonal antibodies have become increasingly popular as novel therapeutics against a variety of diseases due to their specificity, affinity, and serum stability. Due to the nearly infinite repertoire of monoclonal antibodies, their therapeutic use is rapidly expanding, revolutionizing disease course and management, and what is now considered experimental therapy may soon become approved practice. Therefore, it is important for radiologists, neuroradiologists, and neurologists to be aware of these drugs and their possible different imaging-related manifestations, including expected and adverse effects of these no...
