Imaging Methods Applicable in the Diagnostics of Alzheimer's Disease, Considering the Involvement of Insulin Resistance

Petra Hnilicova, Ema Kantorova, Stanislav Sutovsky, Milan Grofik, Kamil Zelenak, Egon Kurca, Norbert Zilka, Petra Parvanovova, Martin Kolisek

Summary: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease characterized by perturbed cerebral perfusion and metabolism, induced proinflammatory processes, and the aggregation of amyloid beta and hyperphosphorylated Tau proteins. Various imaging methods can detect subclinical AD changes, and new insights suggest a link between brain insulin resistance and AD pathogenesis. This article discusses the use of non-neuronal imaging modalities to assess AD-related structural changes in the liver and pancreas, which may be clinically important during the prodromal phase of the disease.

Added-value of advanced magnetic resonance imaging to conventional morphologic analysis for the differentiation between benign and malignant non-fatty soft-tissue tumors

Gauthier Dodin, Julia Salleron, Salma Jendoubi, Waled Abou Arab, Francois Sirveaux, Alain Blum, Pedro Augusto Gondim Teixeira

Summary: The study evaluated the added value of DWI, qualitative proton MR spectroscopy (H-MRS), and dynamic contrast-enhanced perfusion (DCE-P) in differentiating benign and malignant non-fatty soft tissue tumors (NFSTT) compared to conventional MRI. The combination of advanced techniques, including DWI, H-MRS, and DCE-P, showed improved accuracy and specificity in identifying malignant tumors, leading to a decrease in the number of tumors deemed indeterminate after conventional MRI analysis.

Detection of mural inflammation with low b-value diffusion-weighted imaging in patients with active Takayasu Arteritis

Huan Yang, Peng Lv, Ranying Zhang, Caixia Fu, Jiang Lin

Summary: The study found that low b-value DWI has significant advantages in detecting inflamed vessels in active Takayasu arteritis, with higher image quality and blood suppression compared to T2-weighted imaging. Additionally, the signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio of the diseased vessel walls were significantly higher on DWI compared to T2WI.

Summary: CMR has high diagnostic accuracy in patients with suspected cardiac tumour. Patients with CMR diagnoses of pseudomass and benign tumour have similar long-term mortality to those with no mass. The CMR diagnosis is a powerful independent predictor of mortality, providing incremental prognostic value over clinical risk factors.

Diagnostic value of computed high b-value whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging for primary prostate cancer

Yuki Arita, Soichiro Yoshida, Yuma Waseda, Taro Takahara, Chikako Ishii, Ryo Ueda, Thomas C. Kwee, Kei Miyahira, Ryota Ishii, Shigeo Okuda, Masahiro Jinzaki, Yasuhisa Fujii

Summary: The study found that computed diffusion-weighted imaging (cDWI) in biparametric whole-body MRI (bpWB-MRI) showed high diagnostic performance for primary prostate cancer (PCa) evaluation, similar to dedicated pelvic bpMRI(2000). It is recommended to implement cDWI in standard WB-MRI protocols for the concurrent detection of primary and metastatic PCa.

Magnetic Resonance pH Imaging in Stroke - Combining the Old With the New

James R. Larkin, Lee Sze Foo, Brad A. Sutherland, Alexandre Khrapitchev, Yee Kai Tee

Summary: This article discusses the application of both traditional spectroscopy techniques and emerging magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)-based imaging techniques in the measurement of pH for stroke imaging. Each technique has its own advantages and limitations, but the emerging technique CEST may be preferable due to advantages in hardware, acquisition time, and image resolution. However, more experiments on CEST are needed to enhance our understanding of the relationship between CEST and pH.

Deuterium Metabolic Imaging-Rediscovery of a Spectroscopic Tool

Ilona Polvoy, Hecong Qin, Robert R. Flavell, Jeremy Gordon, Pavithra Viswanath, Renuka Sriram, Michael A. Ohliger, David M. Wilson

Summary: Deuterium Metabolic Imaging (DMI) is a method of metabolic imaging that involves labeling substrates and studying various metabolic processes in healthy and diseased states. Despite its low natural abundance, the short relaxation time of deuterium allows for rapid radiofrequency (RF) pulses and efficient image acquisition.

Predicting the Onset of Ischemic Stroke With Fast High-Resolution 3D MR Spectroscopic Imaging

Zengping Lin, Ziyu Meng, Tianyao Wang, Rong Guo, Yibo Zhao, Yudu Li, Bin Bo, Yue Guan, Jun Liu, Hong Zhou, Xin Yu, David J. Lin, Zhi-Pei Liang, Parashkev Nachev, Yao Li

Summary: This study aimed to assess the temporal dynamics of neurometabolites and their value in predicting early vs. late hyperacute stroke. NAA and creatine were significantly lower in subacute stroke compared to acute stroke. NAA was lower in late hyperacute patients and inversely correlated with time from symptom onset. Combining NAA, creatine, and choline signals improved discrimination.

What Changes Occur in the Brain of Veteran? A Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study

Andrzej Urbanik, Iwona Kucybala, Przemyslaw Gula, Maciej Brozyna, Wieslaw Guz

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate common anomalies in head MRI examinations of soldiers and compare the relative concentrations of MRS metabolites in the brains of soldiers with healthy controls. The study included 54 male soldiers and 46 healthy, age-matched males as the control group. The findings in head MRI of soldiers included asymmetric lateral ventricles, dilated perivascular spaces, enlargement of subarachnoid spaces, presence of cavum septum pellucidum and cavum vergae, and a high frequency of sinus disease. The metabolite ratios were different in frontal and occipital lobes, suggesting astrogliosis and neuronal loss associated with repetitive mild traumatic brain injury.

Anticholinergic drugs and forebrain magnetic resonance imaging changes in cognitively normal people and those with mild cognitive impairment

Dewen Meng, Ali-Reza Mohammadi-Nejad, Stamatios N. Sotiropoulos, Dorothee P. Auer

Summary: The use of anticholinergic medication is associated with cognitive decline and structural and functional impairment of the cholinergic nucleus basalis of Meynert. The study found that individuals on long-term anticholinergic medication have lower gray matter density and reduced functional connectivity in the nucleus basalis of Meynert, leading to cognitive impairment.

Added value of magnetic resonance spectroscopy for diagnosing childhood cerebellar tumours

Nigel P. Davies, Heather E. L. Rose, Karen A. Manias, Kal Natarajan, Laurence J. Abernethy, Adam Oates, Umair Janjua, Paul Davies, Lesley MacPherson, Theodoros N. Arvanitis, Andrew C. Peet

Summary: In a prospective study, the diagnostic accuracy of a classifier based on MRS for childhood cerebellar tumors was evaluated, with an overall accuracy of 91%. Retrospective analysis showed that the combination of MRS with a decision support tool significantly increased radiologists' certainty in correct diagnosis. This suggests that MRS can aid in noninvasive diagnosis of posterior fossa tumors in children and that decision support tools can improve MRS interpretation.

Two reviewers independently evaluated 1027 signal-time courses, and their results showed 7% disagreement with a Cohen's kappa value of 0.83. The study determined data quality thresholds for various measures, trained machine learning classifiers, and found that SDNR provided the best performance.

A novel diagnostic method for a rare fungus: FcMBL facilitates Wickerhamomyces anomalus identification in an immunocompromised neonate

Conor J. Higgins, Kerry-Anne Kite, Nigel Klein, Michael Super, Michael T. Mccurdy, Darren Hargrave

Summary: Fungemia has a negative impact on patient outcomes, but current diagnostic methods lack sensitivity in identifying emerging rare fungal infections. This study reports a case of Wickerhamomyces anomalus infection in an immunocompromised neonate, where FcMBL bead-based matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) identified the species approximately 30 hours before standard pathogen identification methods. The use of FcMBL bead-based MALDI-TOF MS may improve the speed and accuracy of identifying rare pathogens, leading to more effective treatment.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the WHO classification on pediatric high-grade gliomas. It found differences between neuro-oncologists and neuropathologists in their perception of molecularly defined tumor types and the changes made in the classification. While improvements were perceived in the 2021 edition, there are still relevant issues that need to be addressed, emphasizing the need for collaboration between pathologists and oncologists.
