Objective: To investigate the correlation between cumulative doses of gadolinium-based contrast agents and increased signal intensity (SI) in dentate nucleus (DN) globus pallidus (GP). Methods: Our retrospective trial involved 21 multiple sclerosis patients (11 women, 10 men; mean age: 39.21±10.24, range: 20 to 57 years) who underwent a serial number cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exa...

The disadvantages of biopsy for lesions in the basal ganglia and thalamus include a risk various complications, difficulty selecting target tissue some cases due to indistinct neuroimaging findings limited availability sample tissue. Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) plays decisive role diagnosis management intracranial germ cell tumors (IGCTs) thalamus. present study aimed demonstrate abil...

Automatic thalamus segmentation is useful to track changes in thalamic volume over time. In this work, we introduce a task-driven dictionary learning framework to find the optimal dictionary given a set of eleven features obtained from T1-weighted MRI and diffusion tensor imaging. In this dictionary learning framework, a linear classifier is designed concurrently to classify voxels as belonging...

objective: the aim of this study was to compare the qeeg of adolescents affected by bipolar ii disorder with age and gender matched healthy controls, and to extract the characteristics of the alpha frequency band to better understand this disorder. methods: twenty one adolescents affected by acute episodes of bipolar ii disorder (bmd ii), both hypomanic and depressive episodes, were selected vi...

conclusion distinct neurochemical and histological structure changes (cortico-striatal-thalamic-cortical cycle) exist in patients with first-episode ocd. 1h-mrs is capable of identifying these changes by assessing metabolic abnormalities. objectives this study aims to use magnetic resonance spectroscopy (mrs) to discover substance-metabolism abnormalities of brain circuits in patients with firs...
