Summary: This study analyzed a longitudinal database of traumatic brain injury patients to identify key factors associated with loss to follow-up. Missed earlier follow-ups and demographic factors, including ethnicity, education, and health insurance, were found to be strong predictors of loss to follow-up. Efforts should be made to retain participants from socially disadvantaged or minority groups.

Summary: The increasing number of women in the perimenopausal phase due to global population ageing highlights the importance of studying the perimenopausal brain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been widely used to reveal brain alterations associated with perimenopausal symptoms. This review collects literature on perimenopausal brain using MRI techniques, describes the changes in brain structure, function, perfusion, and metabolic compounds, and provides a perspective on future multi-modal MRI studies in the perimenopausal brain. Further research is needed to address the neural heterogeneity in the perimenopausal brain for precise diagnosis and personalized treatment of perimenopausal symptoms.

Summary: This study investigated the natural course of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) in pediatric patients, highlighting a higher risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in children with brain stem CCM and familial history of CCM. Over a 5-year follow-up, untreated pediatric patients had a similar risk of (re)hemorrhage compared to adults, with an increased probability over time, especially in cases with ICH or brain stem localization.

Summary: The study revealed that in CADASIL patients, cerebral blood flow decreases over two years, accompanied by reductions in brain volume, new strokes or transient ischemic attacks. Additionally, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and carotid intima-media thickness are closely associated with brain changes, and patients with lower baseline cerebral blood flow may experience declines in attention and working memory.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of enhanced 3D T1-weighted black-blood fast-spin-echo vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (eVW-MRI) and time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF MRA) for follow-up evaluation of aneurysms treated with flow diversion (FD). The results showed that eVW-MRI outperforms TOF MRA as a reliable noninvasive and nonionizing radioactive imaging method for evaluating aneurysm remnants and parent artery patency after FD.

Summary: Trauma is a common cause of death or permanent disability in the population below 50 years, with non-operative treatment being commonly adopted for solid organ injuries in hemodynamically stable patients. Multiple imaging follow-up examinations may be required in cases of major injuries, and there is currently no data available on the utilization of magnetic resonance imaging in the early follow-up of trauma patients with solid organ injuries.

Summary: This study found a significant decrease in volumes of white matter and deep grey nuclear structures in severe TBI patients. These lesions were associated with lower baseline scores and higher diffusion tensor imaging values, which can be used to predict long-term neurological outcomes.

Summary: The study included 64 foetuses with cortical formation abnormalities (CFA) who underwent two in utero magnetic resonance (iuMR) exams, with 62% showing consistent CFA description between the two studies. In 38% of cases, there was a category change, including cases without CFA initially detected, changes in laterality/symmetry, and re-classification within the same group. Brain abnormalities other than CFA were present in around half of the cases on both first and second studies. Prognosis was predicted to have changed in 8% of cases based on the second study, with all indicating a worse prognosis.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis on the neural basis of metamemory judgments by using the activation likelihood estimation method in functional magnetic resonance imaging studies, revealing specific brain structures involved in confidence evaluations. The involvement of the right precuneus in evaluating low confidence memories was emphasized, contributing to a better understanding of the neural basis of metamemory and potentially leading to more precise neuromodulatory interventions for patients with metamemory problems.

Summary: This theoretical study explores the impact of time-intervals in longitudinal imaging studies with one baseline and two follow-up visits on the results. Suggestions for analyzing longitudinal trends are provided based on simulations and analysis of atlas-based volumetry data of Huntington's disease patients.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the influence of psoriasis on early-stage axial spondyloarthritis. The results showed that patients with psoriasis had distinct features of axial spondyloarthritis and increased spinal radiographic progression and low-grade radiographic sacroiliitis.

Summary: The MRI findings in patients with tennis leg showed that abnormalities at the myotendinous junction and tendon of the gastrocnemius were more common than those of the plantaris tendon. Reparative tissue at the distal myotendinous junction of the medial head of the gastrocnemius may be an important specific indication of chronic tennis leg injury.

Summary: This study compared the imaging quality and visibility of clip-adjacent arteries between pointwise encoding time reduction with radial acquisition (PETRA) subtraction-based MRA and time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA). The results showed that PETRA-MRA had acceptable image quality and greater visibility of the adjacent vessels near the clipped aneurysms compared to TOF-MRA. PETRA-MRA could be a beneficial alternative for follow-up imaging of clipped aneurysms.

Summary: Iatrogenic brain infarcts following endovascular repair of intracranial aneurysms are associated with neurologic impairment, functional status, and cognitive and neuropsychiatric outcomes in patients. Patients with infarcts exhibit worse cognitive function and neurological outcomes in the early postoperative period, and a greater number of infarcts are correlated with poorer outcomes.

Summary: The assessment of resting perfusion measures currently requires a susceptibility contrast agent such as gadolinium. This study compared the perfusion measures obtained using hypoxia-induced deoxyhemoglobin and gadolinium in healthy participants. The results showed that the perfusion measures calculated using hypoxia-induced deoxyhemoglobin were comparable to those obtained with gadolinium injection.

Summary: This survey study investigated the adoption of extracranial vessel wall MRI (EC-VWI) by American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) members and the barriers to implementation. The results showed that only 26% of neuroradiology groups performed EC-VWI, mainly due to limited clinician interest. Improved education, protocols, technical support, and validation trials could increase adoption.
