The impact of neuro-imaging in TIA
نویسنده
چکیده
There have been considerable advances in the management of transient ischaemic attack (TIA) in recent years. It has been proposed that the distinction between TIA and stroke be changed from a time-based to a tissue-based definition [1]. In addition, prospective studies have shown a high risk of stroke within the immediate hours and days after TIA [2]; prognostic scores have been developed to identify patients at particularly high risk to facilitate triage to hospital care [3] and urgent specialist assessment and treatment with secondary preventive medication has been shown to reduce stroke risk in the acute phase. Neuroimaging in TIA has underpinned these developments.

In this study, l-131-MIBG imaging was performed in 44 patients with clinical suspicion of tumors originating from neuro-endocrine system. The patients were referred to our department following plasma and urinary measurement of epinephrine, norepinehrine and vanilmandelic acidfVMA).

Introduction Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a new contrast mechanism in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The images produced by the QSM enable researchers and clinicians to easily localize specific structures of the brain, such as deep brain nuclei. These nuclei are targets in many clinical applications and therefore their easy localization is a must. In this study, we aimed to i...

TIA is a serious condition and a medical emergency requiring immediate evaluation and treatment to prevent a stroke. Confirmation of diagnosis is vital. Medical conditions like hypoglycaemia, migraine etc which mimic TIA should be identified. TIA syndrome in carotid territory needs special evaluation by Duplex sonography to detect significant stenosis (>70%) near bifurcation. Recurrent TIA in t...
متن کاملEvaluation of Sensory Pathways in Spinal Cord by Comparison of fMRI Methodologies
Introduction: Today, clinicians and neuroscientists need to have a comprehensive survey of neurological pathologies and injuries. For the First-time, SEEP contrast and Spin-Echo pulse sequences was used for functional imaging of the Lumbar spinal cord. This method used by several research groups for Spinal cord mapping, but other researchers tried to improve BOLD fMRI to Spina...
