High-resolution Cerebrovascular Imaging : Current Status

Cerebrovascular involvement in Fabry disease: current status of knowledge.

F abry disease (FD) is a rare and highly debilitating lyso-somal storage disorder that results from a total lack of, or deficiency in, the enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) because of mutations in the GLA gene. 1 FD is inherited as an X-linked trait; many of the male patients develop a classic severe phenotype with early onset of symptoms, whereas heterozygous females exhibit phenotypes rangin...

Current status of thrombolytic agents in acute cerebrovascular disease.

Validity of negative high-resolution diffusion-weighted imaging in transient acute cerebrovascular events.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A significant amount of strokes are reported to be diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) negative in acute imaging. We attempted to quantify the rate of false-negative high-resolution (hr) DWI and to identify a valid screening tool to guide follow-up MRI to diagnose infarction initially not visible on hrDWI. METHODS An a priori-defined post hoc analysis of a prospective 3T M...

High-resolution infrared imaging

The hands and mind of an artist are intimately involved in the creative process of image formation, intrinsically making paintings significantly more complex than photographs to analyze. In spite of this difficulty, several years ago the artist David Hockney and I identified optical evidence within a number of paintings that demonstrated artists began using optical projections as early as c1425...
