Hemodynamic relationship with angioarchitecture of cerebral arteriovenous malformation and changes after embolization: a pilot study by 4D flow MR.

Background: The hemodynamics of cerebral arteriovenous malformation (cAVM) is difficult to evaluate with conventional imaging or clinical grading. The aim of this study is to: (I) investigate the association between the angioarchitecture and hemodynamic parameters in cAVM based on 4-dimentional flow magnetic resonance (4D flow MR); (II) quantify flow changes during follow-up after embolization and explore the potential of flow-guided staged embolization.

Methods: Twenty-one patients with digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-diagnosed cAVM were prospectively enrolled in a tertiary hospital consecutively from April 2022 to January 2024 for a cohort study.

Risk analysis of intracranial aneurysm rupture based on the arterial segment of origin.

Background And Objective: The rupture risk of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) is related to their arterial origin, but whether the different segments of the artery have different risks and act as independent risk factors is still unknown. Our study aimed to investigate the rupture risk of IAs in different arterial segments in a large Chinese cohort.

Methods: Imaging and clinical data of consecutive patients with IAs diagnosed by Computed Tomography angiography (CTA) from January 2013 to December 2022 were collected.

Technical Note: Swing golden angle - A navigator-interleaved golden angle trajectory with eddy current suppression - Application in free-running cardiac MRI.

Background: Golden angle (GA) radial trajectory is advantageous for dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Recently, several advanced algorithms have been developed based on navigator-interleaved GA trajectory to realize free-running cardiac MRI. However, navigator-interleaved GA trajectory suffers from the eddy-current effect, which reduces the image quality.

Transition of intracranial aneurysmal wall enhancement from high to low wall shear stress mediation with size increase: A hemodynamic study based on 7T magnetic resonance imaging.

Background: Wall shear stress (WSS) has been proved to be related to the formation, development and rupture of intracranial aneurysms. Aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be caused by inflammation and have confirmed its relationship with low WSS. High WSS can also result in inflammation but the research of its correlation with AWE is lack because of the focus on large aneurysms limited by 3T MRI in most previous studies.

Accelerated partial separable model using dimension-reduced optimization technique for ultra-fast cardiac MRI.

Imaging dynamic objects with high temporal resolution is challenging in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The partial separable (PS) model was proposed to improve imaging quality by reducing the degrees of freedom of the inverse problem. However, the PS model still suffers from a long acquisition time and an even longer reconstruction time.

Undersampled Multi-Contrast MRI Reconstruction Based on Double-Domain Generative Adversarial Network.

Multi-contrast magnetic resonance imaging can provide comprehensive information for clinical diagnosis. However, multi-contrast imaging suffers from long acquisition time, which makes it inhibitive for daily clinical practice. Subsampling k-space is one of the main methods to speed up scan time.
