Background And Objectives: Collateral status is a pivotal determinant of clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS); however, its evaluation can be challenging. We investigated the predictive value of CT perfusion (CTP) derived time and density alterations versus CTP for collateral status prediction in AIS.
Methods: Consecutive patients with anterior circulation occlusion within 24 h were retrospectively included.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effectiveness of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in assessing gliomas, focusing on tumor grade, IDH-1 mutation status, and proliferation rate.
- A total of 52 patients with confirmed gliomas underwent DKI and DTI scans, measuring various metrics including mean kurtosis (MK), axial kurtosis (Ka), and mean diffusivity (MD), with results highlighting significant differences between high-grade gliomas (HGGs) and low-grade gliomas (LGGs).
- DKI demonstrated superior diagnostic capabilities compared to DTI, particularly with metrics like Ka and MK, which could help predict glioma grading, tumor proliferation, and IDH-1 mutation status.
