Gadobutrol and gadofosveset contribute to contrast-enhanced MRI results
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 28 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSC12-02 | Room N226In patients with glioblastoma, the MRI contrast agent gadobutrol provides "significant tumor enhancement" in early postcontrast imaging, but gadofosveset offers significantly greater diagnostic information and lesion enhancement after six hours.

7T MRI techniques show microstructural changes in mild traumatic brain injury
By Wayne Forrest
Sunday, November 27 | 12:05 p.m.-12:15 p.m. | SSA15-09 | Room N229Researchers from Ohio State University Medical Center have concluded that a combination of MRI techniques -- diffusion-tensor imaging and susceptibility-weighted imaging -- at a 7-tesla field strength could improve the clinical diagnosis of chronic mild traumatic brain injury and provide additional information on underlying tissue microstructure.

Can MRI help diagnose acute Guillain-Barré syndrome in kids?
By Wayne Forrest
Sunday, November 27 | 11:05 a.m.-11:15 a.m. | SSA17-03 | Room N228Focusing on the terminal end of the spinal cord, known as the medullary conus, the combination of plain MRI and contrast-enhanced, T1-weighted MR imaging can be very sensitive in diagnosing acute Guillain-Barré syndrome in children.

2 MR parameters highly predictive of MS diagnosis in children
By Rosemary Frei
A large study of children at 23 pediatric hospitals across Canada has yielded a combination of two MRI parameters that predicts the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) with an accuracy of approximately 90%. The results were published online November 7 in Lancet Neurology.

CT perfusion inadequate to detect basilar artery occlusion
By Eric Barnes
Sunday, November 27 | 11:25 a.m.-11:35 a.m. | SSA16-05 | Room N226CT perfusion imaging of the brain is often used in acute stroke centers to aid in diagnosing and characterizing acute stroke. But it doesn't work as well in the brainstem: A new study has found that CT perfusion alone is inadequate to detect basilar artery occlusion.

12T MRI could show infant brain lesions
By AuntMinnie.com staff writers
Pediatric neuroscientists at Oregon Health & Science University's Doernbecher Children's Hospital are having early success in viewing tiny white-matter injuries with 12-tesla MRI in premature fetal sheep, suggesting the modality could potentially be used to image the brains of preterm infants.

FDG-PET metabolic parameters help differentiate severity of brain tumors
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, November 29 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ19-03 | Room S505ABIn this presentation, researchers will discuss how standardized uptake values and glucose metabolic rates can help differentiate between tumors and benign lesions when evaluating patients with central nervous system lesions with FDG-PET.
