Article Synopsis
- * AAR-RRA's task force studied how academic radiologists contribute beyond just high clinical volumes and RVU-generating work, highlighting the importance of these additional roles.
- * Their findings are shared in a two-part report, with the first part addressing the current situation in radiology and the second part outlining future strategies for striking a better balance between clinical work and non-RVU activities.
Article Synopsis
- - This study systematically reviews brain MRI findings in COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms, highlighting that over one-third experience such issues.
- - After analyzing 25 publications and 3118 cases, significant MRI findings include acute/subacute infarction, olfactory bulb abnormalities, white matter abnormalities, and cerebral microbleeds.
- - The research indicates a notable prevalence of detectable neurological abnormalities in COVID-19 patients, emphasizing the need for further exploration of these symptoms and their implications.
Background phase errors in 4D Flow MRI may negatively impact blood flow quantification. In this study, we assessed their impact on cerebrovascular flow volume measurements, evaluated the benefit of manual image-based correction, and assessed the potential of a convolutional neural network (CNN), a form of deep learning, to directly infer the correction vector field. With IRB waiver of informed consent, we retrospectively identified 96 MRI exams from 48 patients who underwent cerebrovascular 4D Flow MRI from October 2015 to 2020.

We present a review of the recently published neurosurgical literature on artificial intelligence and robotics in endovascular neurosurgery to provide insights into the current advances and applications of this technology. The PubMed database was searched for "neurosurgery" OR "endovascular" OR "interventional" AND "robotics" OR "artificial intelligence" between January 2016 and August 2021.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Challenging arterial anatomy delays, or prevents timely endovascular treatment (EVT) of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We introduce a new technique called 'Balloon Gliding Technique (BGT)' to overcome difficult arterial anatomy during EVT of AIS, utilizing flow-assistance to access challenging circulations.
Methods: Retrospective review of a prospectively collected database of all patients presenting to a single institution with AIS who underwent EVT was performed from January 2021 to June 2021.
