Spectrum of Complications and Complication Rates After Diagnostic Catheter Angiography in Neuroradiology
ConclusionThere is a definite risk for complications after diagnostic angiography. Although a very broad spectrum of complications was considered, complications in the individual subgroups showed a low incidence. (Source: Clinical Neuroradiology)

Patterns of Visual Task-based Functional MRI Activation in Chronic Posterior Cerebral Artery Stroke Patients
ConclusionIn chronic PCA stroke patients with residual visual impairments, the brain attempts to recruit more neighboring and distant functional areas for executing the impaired visual skill. This intense recruitment pattern in poorly recovering patients appears to be a sign of failed compensation. Consequently, fMRI has the potential for clinically relevant prognostic assessment in patients surviving PCA stroke; however, as this study included no longitudinal data, this potential should be further investigated in longitudinal imaging studies, with a larger coho rt, and multiple time points.

Prone Dynamic CT Myelography in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension
This study evaluates the diagnostic needs of dCT-M examinations and measures to reduce radiation doses.MethodsFrequency, leak sites, length and number of spiral acquisitions, DLP and effective doses of dCT ‑M were retrospectively recorded in patients with ventral dural tears.ResultsOf 42 patients with ventral dural tears, 8 underwent 11 dCT‑M when the leak was not unequivocally shown on digital subtraction myelography. The median number of spiral acquisitions was 4 (range 3–7) and the mean effective radiation dose 30.6 mSv (range 13.1–62.16 mSv) mSv. Five of eight leaks wer e located in the upper thoracic spine ...

Computed Tomography of the Head
AbstractIn 1971, the first computed tomography (CT) scan was performed on a patient’s brain. Clinical CT systems were introduced in 1974 and dedicated to head imaging only. New technological developments, broader availability, and the clinical success of CT led to a steady growth in examination numbers. Most frequent indications for non-contrast CT (NCCT) of the head i nclude the assessment of ischemia and stroke, intracranial hemorrhage and trauma, while CT angiography (CTA) has become the standard for first-line cerebrovascular evaluation; however, resulting improvements in patient management and clinical outcomes c...
