T2-relaxometry predicts outcome of DBS in idiopathic Parkinson's disease
INTRODUCTION Deep brain stimulation (DBS) nowadays is a well-established treatment of motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease. The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a common target for DBS, because motor improvements have been shown to be superior to best medical therapy, if DBS electrodes have been appropriately positioned. DBS target identification can be assisted by MRI beyond structural imaging by...
متن کاملEarly outcome of subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) in advanced parkinson disease in first trial of Iranian patients
Abstract Background: To improve the debilitating features of Parkinson disease (PD) different medical and surgical approaches are available. Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) was appeared to be a promising method during last two decades. This study aimed to evaluate early motor outcomes of this procedure in first trial of Iranian patients . Methods: Thirty-seven...
متن کاملT2 relaxometry of the hippocampus at 3T.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE T2 mapping is useful for identifying and quantifying abnormalities of the hippocampus and amygdala. It is particularly useful in the presurgical evaluation of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and for the identification of bilateral hippocampal sclerosis (HS). The purpose of this study was to implement and validate a dual-echo method for producing coronal T2 maps with ...
متن کاملHippocampal T2 relaxometry in epilepsy: past, present, and future.
Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS) is the most common known pathologic substrate of epilepsy. Accurate preoperative identification of unilateral MTS bymagnetic resonance (MR) imaging has had a tremendous impact on the clinical management of medically refractory seizures. It was well known in the pre-MR era that obtaining a temporal lobectomy specimen that contained MTS conferred a higher probabili...
متن کاملAutomated T2 relaxometry of the hippocampus for temporal lobe epilepsy
OBJECTIVE Hippocampal sclerosis (HS), the most common cause of refractory temporal lobe epilepsy, is associated with hippocampal volume loss and increased T2 signal. These can be identified on quantitative imaging with hippocampal volumetry and T2 relaxometry. Although hippocampal segmentation for volumetry has been automated, T2 relaxometry currently involves subjective and time-consuming manu...
