Our goal was to conduct a detailed analysis of iron deposition patterns in the cerebral deep grey matter and cortex using region-based and whole-brain analyses of brain magnetic susceptibility.
Methods: Brain MRI was performed in 95 healthy individuals aged between 21 and 58 years on a 3T scanner.
Background: Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are often presenting with overlapping symptoms. The aim of this study was to determine whether and how NMO and MS differ regarding cerebral iron deposits in deep gray matter (DGM) and the correlation between iron deposition and clinical severity as well as to regional atrophy of the DGM.
Methods: We analyzed 20 patients with NMO, 40 patients with a relapsing-remitting (RR) form of MS, and 20 healthy controls with 1.

Article Synopsis
- Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a condition affecting the pancreas, where targeted surgical options may be used for focal forms, while diffuse forms often require more extensive treatment.
- In a study of 19 children showing signs of CHI, F-DOPA PET/CT scans were performed to identify focal abnormalities, with results indicating that 10 children had focal forms, leading to successful surgical interventions for 4 of them.
- The study concluded that F-DOPA PET/CT is an effective method for locating focal CHI, aiding in the planning of surgical treatments.
