Radiation-induced (RI) changes such as radiation-induced cavernous malformations (RICMs) and radiation-induced cranial neuropathy (RICN) manifest as late delayed complications and can be seen on post-treatment imaging. Cavernous malformations (CMs) are vascular malformations that are made up of dilated, thin-walled capillary spaces without intervening brain parenchyma. Cranial nerve damage due to radiation exposure is a rare consequence of radiation therapy (RT).

Materials And Methods: In this study, the appearance of cerebrovascular stroke on the SWI images were analyzed in 50 patients who presented with acute-onset neurological symptoms.
Results: Brain MRI with SWI was performed on 50 patients presenting with acute neurological symptoms.
Background: Strain or compression sonoelastography (CE) provides a colour-coded elastogram representing tissue elasticity by measuring tissue deformability after repeated probe compression. Elastographic ultrasound (EUS) is a valuable tool for screening diagnosis and follow-up of inflammatory, degenerative, benign and malignant neoplastic pathologies of skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves; help in targeted biopsy; monitor healing tendons after surgery or nerve stiffness changes during physiotherapy.
Objectives: To assess stiffness of normal tendons, muscles and nerve.
Carotid webs are important, often undiagnosed causes of cryptogenic and recurrent strokes. CT angiography and digital subtraction angiography adequately demonstrate webs as linear filling defects in the carotid bulb. However, findings are overlooked unless viewed in optimal planes and easily misdiagnosed as dissection flaps or atheromatous plaques, altering management and outcome.

- Paragangliomas are rare tumors originating from chromaffin cells and can occur in various locations, but multiple tumors in a single patient are uncommon.
- A case study presented a 42-year-old man with symptoms like high blood pressure, shortness of breath, and sweating, who was found to have several paragangliomas in his neck and abdomen through imaging.
- The patient had surgery to remove the tumors, which highlights the need for further imaging and routine screening for patients with paragangliomas to catch any additional tumors early.
