Summary: Diagnosing kernicterus in the acute phase is challenging, as the conventional T1w sequence may show high signal intensity due to early myelination. However, the SWI sequence appears to be more sensitive and reliable for detecting damage in the globus pallidum area.

Summary: This study investigated the validity of qualitative phase assessment on the cranial or caudal margins for distinguishing haemorrhage and calcification in lesions with ambiguous phase on SWI. Results showed that assessment at the cranial or caudal margins achieved a sensitivity of 100% for both haemorrhage and calcification, which was significantly superior to other methods such as dominant phase or in-plane margin assessment.

Summary: This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the potential of qualitative and quantitative multiparametric features assessed on T-2, post-contrast T-1, DWI, DCE-MRI, and SWI in differentiating PCNSL vs GB. The results showed that SWI features provided the best diagnostic performance in differentiating PCNSL and GB.

Summary: There is increasing evidence that COVID-19 can cause neurological symptoms and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) have been observed in patients with this condition. This study aimed to characterize CMBs patterns using susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with neurological manifestations. The study found that CMBs are a frequent imaging finding in these patients and are associated with a pro-inflammatory state.

Summary: In patients with severe COVID-19, microvascular brain lesions, characterized by punctate SWI lesions, are commonly found in the subcortical and deep white matter. These lesions are associated with widespread microvascular injury, indicating a risk for hemorrhagic and ischemic lesions in the brain.

Summary: This meta-analysis reveals that the prominent veins sign (PVS) is associated with an unfavorable prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) but does not increase the risk of hemorrhagic transformation. The correlation between PVS and unfavorable functional outcome is particularly evident in patients receiving recanalization therapy.

Summary: Through the analysis of clinical and MRI imaging data, it was found that the distribution volume of melanin in substantia nigra and the maximum value of locus coeruleus signal may be the biological imaging indicators for the early diagnosis, severity, and follow-up evaluation of Parkinson's disease.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility and agreement of (129Xe) ventilation MRI measurements in severe asthmatics at two sites. The results showed that Xe-129 MRI VDP measured at two different sites within 24-hours in the same severe asthmatics were correlated, despite qualitative and quantitative intersite differences in Xe-129 regional gas distribution and VDP.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between resting-state functional connectivity and accelerometer-measured physical activity in pediatric concussion. The findings suggest that there is a positive association between the intra-network connectivity of the default mode network (DMN) and device-measured light, moderate, and vigorous physical activity in children with concussion.

Summary: Proton density and diffusion tensor imaging data was used to determine the in vivo 3D architectural parameters of four different muscles before and after an exhaustive one-legged jump exercise on six young and physically active female subjects. Most muscles showed no significant changes in architecture after exercise, except for an increase in anatomical cross-section area of the gastrocnemius medialis and an increase in fiber lengths of certain muscles, as well as a decrease in soleus mean pennation angle. These changes may be due to extended MRI scan acquisition time affecting muscle recovery and exercise effects.

Summary: Recent advances in computer hardware, software tools, and digital data archives have led to rapid development of artificial intelligence applications. However, a lack of trust from clinicians in predictive models poses a challenge to the clinical implementation of AI. This review discusses interpretability methods for deep learning and the state-of-the-art methods for predictive uncertainty estimation, emphasizing how uncertainty can enhance predictive performance, model interpretability, and trust-building in AI applications.

Summary: This review explores the use of imaging techniques in classifying and diagnosing MTrP and muscle microstructure. DTI is identified as the most effective imaging modality for quantifying muscle structure, while HARDI and DKI techniques show potential for providing detailed information on muscle structure. Further research utilizing MRI techniques to image muscle is necessary for a more robust means of imaging skeletal muscle and MTrP.
