Article Synopsis
- * The study used three-tesla MRI to analyze the fissure's anatomy in fetuses at 20 weeks gestation, focusing on its developmental aspects.
- * The research revealed the fissure's anatomical borders through postmortem hemosiderin layering, and the findings aim to enhance understanding of this fissure, aiding in the identification of related abnormalities in clinical practice.
Article Synopsis
- The non-enhancing peritumoral area (NEPA) is the hyperintense region around a brain tumor that can indicate various pathological processes, such as edema.
- Analyzing the NEPA using MRI techniques has proven to be more accurate than looking solely at the tumor itself for diagnosing solid brain tumors, especially in distinguishing between high-grade gliomas and other types like primary lymphoma or brain metastases.
- This review focuses on the MRI features of NEPA and includes advanced imaging techniques like diffusion tensor imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging to better understand their role in predicting clinical outcomes and treatment responses.
