What I Think Is Really Going on With Trump's Imaging Tests
(MedPage Today) — This week, the White House released information about some medical tests President Trump recently underwent. He told reporters he had an MRI, and then his doctor announced that “advanced imaging” showed no serious issues. I shared…

Advancing Magnetic Particle Imaging: Implant Safety Tested
As magnetic particle imaging (MPI) gains momentum as a breakthrough medical imaging technology, a critical question remains: how safe is this modality when used on patients with implanted medical devices? Addressing this concern head-on, a pioneering study spearheaded by Wegner, Friedrich, Elfers, and colleagues has embarked on thorough safety measurements of medical implants in […]

Systematic Review of the Predictive Value of Negative Brain or Low Probability Brain MRIs in Patients with CSF-Venous Fistulas [CLINICAL]
BACKGROUND:
Since the discovery of the CSF-venous fistula (CVF), its diagnosis has become more frequent, especially in patients with brain MRIs positive for spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). However, there is a need to understand the likelihood of diagnosis of a CVF in a patient with negative brain imaging.PURPOSE:
Our aim was to investigate judgment the frequency of CVF in patients suspected of SIH who have negative neuroaxis MRIs.DATA SOURCES:
All studies reporting on the inciden… -
Outcomes of CT-Guided Targeted Epidural Patching for Lateral Dural Tears in Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study [CLINICAL]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) due to lateral dural tears with spinal longitudinal extradural fluid collections (SLECs) can cause disabling orthostatic headaches. While epidural patching is commonly used as first-line treatment, outcomes specific to lateral dural tears have not been well-characterized. We aimed to evaluate clinical and radiologic outcomes following CT-guided patching for lateral dural tears and assess whether anatomic or procedural factors&mda… -
Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Delayed Neurologic Sequelae in Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Using Automatically Extracted MR Imaging Features [ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Delayed neurologic sequelae are among the most serious complications of carbon monoxide poisoning. However, no reliable tools are available for evaluating their potential risk. We aimed to assess whether machine learning models using imaging features that were automatically extracted from brain MRI can predict the potential delayed neurologic sequelae risk in patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning.MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This single-center, retrospective, observat… -
Association between Ordering Provider Type and Overuse of Spine MRIs for Cord Compression in the Emergency Department [CLINICAL]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Rates of spine MRIs being performed for cord compression in the emergency department (ED) have markedly increased during the past several years. In this study, we evaluate the order, volume, provider type ordering spine MRIs, and the rate of study positivity during the past 6 years.MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This retrospective, institutional review board–approved study was performed at a single institution. All adult patients presenting to the ED of our institution wh… -
Reduced Dynamic Brain Activity and Functional Connectivity in Nonfunctioning Pituitary Adenomas with Visual Impairment [RESEARCH]
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
Visual disturbance is a major complication in nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) due to chiasmal compression. While neuroimaging studies have established brain dysfunction in visually impaired patients from chiasmal compression, the brain dynamic features of spontaneous activity and functional connectivity remain underexplored. This cross-sectional study aims to explore changes in temporal variability of spontaneous activity and connectivity in visually impaired pati…
