Background And Purpose: The frequency of DWI negative cerebral ischemia and clinical factors associated with such a circumstance is not well understood.
Methods: We performed MRI including diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in patients with stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 24 hours of symptom onset and again at 30 days.
Results: Of 401 patients, 103 (25.6%) had an initial negative DWI study. In the DWI negative group, among the stroke patients, 6/26 (23.1%) had infarcts on follow-up MRI (4 lacunar and 2 posterior circulation syndromes) and 1 had a rMTT deficit. Among the TIA patients, 4/63 (6.3%) showed rMTT deficits and 2/63 (3.2%) had infarcts on follow-up MRI.
Conclusions: Baseline perfusion weighted imaging sequences may detect ischemia in a small proportion of DWI negative cases. Only those with brain stem location or lacunar syndrome were DWI negative initially and yet had a follow-up imaging confirmation of infarct or a final clinical diagnosis of stroke.

Objective: The relationship between small subcortical ischemic infarction remains poorly characterized. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the association between artery-to-artery embolization and small subcortical infarctions.
Methods: This retrospective observational cross-sectional study enrolling 230 patients with acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke classified into the microembolic signals-positive (MES+) and MES-negative (MES-) groups.

Background: To investigative potential clinicopathological characteristics and imaging-related risk factors of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) undercategorized in patients with negative or equivocal MRI.
Methods: This retrospective study included 581 patients with pathologically confirmed csPCa (Gleason score ≥ 3 + 4), including 108 undercategorized csPCa and 473 detected csPCa. All patients underwent multiparametric MRI (mpMRI).

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of ColorViz fused images from multi-phase computed tomography angiography (mCTA) using GE Healthcare's FastStroke software for newly diagnosed cerebral infarctions in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
Methods: A total of 106 AIS patients with unilateral anterior circulation occlusion were prospectively enrolled. All patients underwent mCTA scans during the arterial peak phase, venous peak phase, and venous late phase.

Background: Axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) is a significant predictor of overall patient survival; thus, precise evaluation of ALNM is essential for staging breast cancer, informing multimodal treatment strategies, and ensuring optimal patient care. This study aimed to establish a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring system for predicting extensive axillary nodal metastasis in patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer derived from preoperative breast and axillary MRI.
Methods: This study included 226 patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer who underwent preoperative breast and axillary MRI between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2020 at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital.
