Article Synopsis
- The article investigates how patient demographics and factors related to MRI examinations affect patient-reported experiences.
- A quality improvement study was conducted with over 3,600 outpatient MRI patients, using a post-appointment survey to gather feedback on their experiences.
- Findings revealed that male patients, shorter exam times, and timely appointments were linked to more positive ratings, while longer wait times and physical discomfort contributed to negative feedback.
Diffusion MRI (dMRI) has been able to detect early structural changes related to neurological symptoms present in Huntington's disease (HD). However, there is still a knowledge gap to interpret the biological significance at early neuropathological stages. The purpose of this study is two-fold: (i) establish if the combination of Ultra-High Field Diffusion MRI (UHFD-MRI) techniques can add a more comprehensive analysis of the early microstructural changes observed in HD, and (ii) evaluate if early changes in dMRI microstructural parameters can be linked to cellular biomarkers of neuroinflammation.

Our previous MRI diffusion tensor imaging studies detected early white matter changes in the spinal cords of mice carrying the G93A-SOD1 mutation. Here, we extend those studies using ultra-high field MRI (17.
