Summary: Reperfusion therapy has been shown to be effective for stroke with unknown time of onset, but challenges in clinical practice exist due to variability in data and different imaging paradigms. Physicians need to consider which imaging approach to use when guiding reperfusion treatment for these patients.

Summary: In patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, alterations in myocardial microstructure and microvascular disease have been found to occur early in the disease process. These changes serve as potential early phenotype biomarkers for disease detection and management.

Summary: The DIVIDE technique shows promise for characterizing and diagnosing gliomas, with the potential to differentiate between different grades, molecular features, and microstructural characteristics of tumors. The diffusion metrics obtained from DIVIDE imaging are able to accurately distinguish between high-grade and low-grade gliomas, as well as between wild-type and mutated IDH tumors.

Summary: The combination of conventional MRI with DTI-DTT is a valid diagnostic approach for acute traumatic cervical SCI. Lower intramedullary lesion length and intramedullary hemorrhage length, and higher fractional anisotropy value and connection rates of fiber tractography are linked to better neurological outcomes.

Summary: Diffusion microstructure imaging (DMI) can be used to differentiate brain metastases from glioblastomas. Perilesional T2 hyperintensity in brain metastases is mainly due to edema, while in glioblastomas, there is tumor infiltration.

Summary: This study investigates the use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a quantitative method to describe the structure of muscle tissue in meat and seafood. The results show that DTI can effectively distinguish between different sample qualities and detect changes caused by freezing and thawing damage.

Summary: This study found associations between dietary patterns and dementia-related neuroimaging markers. Specifically, a high-protein and alcohol pattern was negatively associated with cortical thickness, while a Mediterranean-like pattern was positively associated with white matter microstructural integrity. No associations were found with a Western-like pattern.

Summary: Longitudinal changes in the white matter/functional brain networks of semantic dementia (SD) were observed, and their relation with cognition was examined. Structural and functional alterations were found to extend to the temporal and frontal lobes, and specific brain regions were associated with different semantic attributes.

Summary: The study found diffusion abnormalities in the gray matter, dorsal and lateral tracts in chronic degenerative spinal cord compression, with more profound alterations in DCM than NMDC patients. Diffusion metrics were affected in the C3-6 area and above the compression level at C3, with more profound rostral deficits in DCM. Alterations in lateral motor and dorsal sensory tracts correlated with motor and sensory evoked potentials, while electromyography outcomes corresponded with gray matter microstructure. DCM disability corresponded with microstructure alteration in lateral columns.

Summary: The study found that NODDI has good reliability in evaluating epileptogenic tubers in TSC patients. ICVF showed advantages in detecting subtle epileptogenic tubers, and NODDI parameters have the potential to identify epileptogenicity.

Summary: Neuroimaging allows for detailed non-invasive study of the brain, with potential value for early disease diagnosis and understanding. A new multimodal independent component analysis approach is presented for data fusion in the full UK Biobank dataset, improving predictive power for thousands of phenotypic and behavioral variables.

Summary: This study evaluated the inter-observer and inter-vendor reliability of diffusion tensor imaging parameters in the musculoskeletal system. The results showed high levels of agreement between observers and no significant inter-vendor differences were observed. This indicates that diffusion tensor imaging is highly reproducible and reliable in the musculoskeletal system.
