Background And Purpose: Time-resolved 3DRA (4D-DSA) and flat panel conebeam CTA are new methods for visualizing the microangioarchitecture of cerebral AVMs. We applied a 4D software prototype to a series of cases of AVMs to assess the utility of this method in relation to treatment planning.
Materials And Methods: In 33 patients with AVMs, 4D volumes and flat panel conebeam CTA images were recalculated from existing 3D rotational angiography data.
In about 25% of patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a bleeding source cannot be identified during radiological diagnostics. Generally, the outcome of perimesencephalic or prepontine (PM) SAH is known to be significantly better than after non-PM SAH. Data about long-term follow-up concerning physical and mental health are scarce, so this study is reports on long-term results.

Background: The surgical treatment of giant olfactory groove meningiomas (OGMs) with marked perilesional brain oedema is still a surgical challenge. After tumour resection, increase of brain oedema may occur causing dramatic neurological deterioration and even death of the patient. The objective of this paper is to describe surgical features of a two-step staged resection of these tumours performed to counter increase of postoperative brain oedema.

- The study investigates how coronary artery calcification (CAC) identified through low-dose chest computed tomography (LDCT) can predict the need for intensive care in COVID-19 patients.
- It included 89 patients with confirmed COVID-19 and found that an Agatston score greater than 0 is a significant predictor for ICU admission, intubation, or death.
- The results suggest that analyzing CAC during initial diagnosis can provide valuable insights into the severity of a patient's condition and their potential need for intensive care treatment.
Background: Cardiovascular comorbidity anticipates poor prognosis of SARS-CoV-2 disease (COVID-19) and correlates with the systemic atherosclerotic transformation of the arterial vessels. The amount of aortic wall calcification (AWC) can be estimated on low-dose chest CT. We suggest quantification of AWC on the low-dose chest CT, which is initially performed for the diagnosis of COVID-19, to screen for patients at risk of severe COVID-19.
