Time course of wallerian degeneration after ischaemic stroke revealed by diffusion tensor imaging.
Wallerian degeneration (WD) after ischaemic stroke is a well known phenomenon following a stereotypical time course. Whereas conventional magnetic resonance imaging fails to detect signal intensity changes until four weeks after stroke, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) reveals changes related to WD only after days. DTI was used to monitor the time course of Wallerian degeneration of the pyramidal...
متن کاملImaging and treatment response after ischaemic stroke.
838 www.thelancet.com/neurology Vol 11 October 2012 Use of brain imaging to predict treatment response after ischaemic stroke, a test of which is reported by Maarten Lansberg and colleagues in this issue of The Lancet Neurology, has a long history. In 1993, Gilles Marchal and colleagues used information about both blood fl ow and metabolic activity obtained with PET to predict diff erential cli...
متن کاملImaging in acute ischaemic stroke: essential for modern stroke care.
Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and the third most common in the UK. 'Time is brain' in ischaemic stroke; early reperfusion has been shown to lead to improved clinical outcomes, yet the majority of patients with acute stroke do not attend in time for thrombolysis as it is currently licensed, hence the interest in trials extending the therapeutic window. Defining the is...
متن کاملMultimodal Cardiovascular Imaging of Cardiac Tumors
Primary cardiac tumors are rare. Myxoma and sarcoma are the most common types of benign and malignant cardiac tumors, respectively. Secondary cardiac tumors, the majority of which are metastases, are more common than primary tumors. The use of an appropriate combination of cardiovascular imaging techniques is necessary for the differential diagnosis of cardiac tumors and for preoperative examin...
