Age-stratified Assessment of Brain Volumetric Segmentation on the Indian Population Using Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Background And Purpose: Automated methods for quantifying brain tissue volumes have gained clinical interest for their objective assessment of neurological diseases. This study aimed to establish reference curves for brain volumes and fractions in the Indian population using Synthetic MRI (SyMRI), a quantitative imaging technique providing multiple contrast-weighted images through fast postprocessing.

Methods: The study included a cohort of 314 healthy individuals aged 15-65 years from multiple hospitals/centers across India.

Early Cranioplasty in Patients With Posttraumatic Decompressive Craniectomy and Its Correlation with Changes in Cerebral Perfusion Parameters and Neurocognitive Outcome.

Background: Decompressive craniectomy is a life-saving procedure in many patients after traumatic brain injury. Delayed recovery in such patients can be attributed to various causes. Cranioplasty (CP) helps in early improvement of neurocognitive function along with better brain protection and cosmesis.
