Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and/or stenting for the treatment of basilar artery stenosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionElective PTAS appears to be safe and effective in selected patients with medically refractory, severe, symptomatic, and non-acute BAS. Different stent types and angioplasty-assisted procedures should be considered based on specific clinico-radiological characteristics of the lesions. Future randomized controlled trials are required to corroborate these findings. (Source: Neuroradiology)

Brain structural changes in preschool children with MRI-negative epilepsy
ConclusionChanges in preschool children with epilepsy occur in the cortical rather than subcortical structures of the brain. These findings further our understanding of the effects of epilepsy in preschool children and will inform management of epilepsy in this patient population. (Source: Neuroradiology)

Evaluation of cholesterol crystals in carotid plaque by dual energy computed tomography
This study examines the validity of assessing CCs using dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) that uses X-rays with different tube voltages for imaging, allowing material discrimination. We retrospectively evaluated patients who had undergone preoperative cervical computed tomography angiography and carotid endarterectomy between December 2019 and July 2020. We developed CC-based material decomposition images (MDIs) by scanning CCs crystallized in the laboratory using DECT. We compared the percentage of CCs in stained slides defined by cholesterol clefts with the percentage of CCs displayed by CC-based MDIs. Thirty-seven ...

Risk factors for the development of secondary intracranial hypertension in acute cerebral venous thrombosis
ConclusionLarger thrombus volume, dominant transverse sinus occlusion, and extensive superior sagittal combined with transverse sinus thrombosis were associated with IH. Thrombus volumetry might identify patients at risk for IH and direct further clinical evaluation. (Source: Neuroradiology)

Evaluation of the cerebrovascular reactivity in patients with Moyamoya Angiopathy by use of breath-hold fMRI: investigation of voxel-wise hemodynamic delay correction in comparison to [15O]water PET
ConclusionVoxel-wise delay correction, in particular with shift ranges with high cutoff, should be used critically as it can lead to false-negative results in regions with impaired CVR and a lower correlation to the diagnostic standard [15O]water PET. (Source: Neuroradiology)

Assessment of artificial intelligence (AI) reporting methodology in glioma MRI studies using the Checklist for AI in Medical Imaging (CLAIM)
ConclusionAI may be a means of producing high-accuracy results for certain tasks in glioma MRI; however, there remain issues with reporting quality. AI reporting guidelines may aid in a more reproducible and standardised approach to reporting and will aid in clinical integration. (Source: Neuroradiology)
