چکیده

A 16-year-old girl presented with a history of new onset seizures. Her semiology favored complex partial seizures of right frontal origin characterized by facial deviation and head aversion to the left followed by tonic posturing of the left upper limb. Seizure duration was approximately one minute with no post ictal confusion and recurred every ten minutes throughout the night. She presented to us 12 hours after her first seizure. Her clinical history was positive for Wilson’s disease diagnosed five years ago when she had presented with dystonia and tremors of her right hand, followed by dystonia of the trunk and left upper limb. She had low serum Ceruloplasmin levels and a positive KayserFleischer (KF) ring at that time and had been on d-Pencillamine treatment for the past five years. On current admission she was on d-Pencillamine 500 mg/day, trihexyphenydyl and pyridoxine and

An Efficient Framework for Accurate Arterial Input Selection in DSC-MRI of Glioma Brain Tumors

Introduction: Automatic arterial input function (AIF) selection has an essential role in quantification of cerebral perfusion parameters. The purpose of this study is to develop an optimal automatic method for AIF determination in dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) of glioma brain tumors by using a new preprocessing method.Material and Methods: For this study, ...

A brain stress test: Cerebral perfusion during memory encoding in mild cognitive impairment

Arterial spin labeled perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (ASL MRI) provides non-invasive quantification of cerebral blood flow, which can be used as a biomarker of brain function due to the tight coupling between cerebral blood flow (CBF) and brain metabolism. A growing body of literature suggests that regional CBF is altered in neurodegenerative diseases. Here we examined ASL MRI CBF in subj...

The value of arterial spin-labeled perfusion imaging in acute ischemic stroke: comparison with dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced MRI.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential clinical value of arterial spin-labeled (ASL) perfusion MRI in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) through comparison with dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) enhanced perfusion MRI. METHODS Pseudocontinuous ASL with 3-dimensional background-suppressed gradient and spin echo readout was applied with DSC perfusion MRI on ...

Perfusion magnetic resonance imaging with continuous arterial spin labeling: methods and clinical applications in the central nervous system.

Several methods are now available for measuring cerebral perfusion and related hemodynamic parameters using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). One class of techniques utilizes electromagnetically labeled arterial blood water as a noninvasive diffusible tracer for blood flow measurements. The electromagnetically labeled tracer has a decay rate of T1, which is sufficiently long to allow perfusion ...

Applications of arterial spin labeled MRI in the brain.

Perfusion provides oxygen and nutrients to tissues and is closely tied to tissue function while disorders of perfusion are major sources of medical morbidity and mortality. It has been almost two decades since the use of arterial spin labeling (ASL) for noninvasive perfusion imaging was first reported. While initial ASL magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies focused primarily on technological...
