Background And Purpose: Dynamic susceptibility-weighted contrast-enhanced (DSC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to identify the tissue-at-risk in acute stroke, but the choice of optimal DSC postprocessing in the clinical setting remains a matter of debate. Using 15O-water positron emission tomography (PET), we validated the performance of 2 common deconvolution methods for DSC-MRI.

Methods: In (sub)acute stroke patients with consecutive MRI and PET imaging, DSC maps were calculated applying 2 deconvolution methods, standard and block-circulant single value decomposition. We used 2 standardized analysis methods, a region of interest-based and a voxel-based analysis, where PET cerebral blood flow masks of <20 mL/100 g per minute (penumbral flow) and gray matter masks were overlaid on DSC parameter maps. For both methods, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to identify the accuracy of each DSC-MR map for the detection of PET penumbral flow.

Results: In 18 data sets (median time after stroke onset: 18 hours; median time PET to MRI: 101 minutes), block-circulant single value decomposition showed significantly better performance to detect PET penumbral flow only for mean transit time maps. Time-to-maximum (Tmax) had the highest performance independent of the deconvolution method.

Conclusions: Block-circulant single value decomposition seems only significantly beneficial for mean transit time maps in (sub)acute stroke. Tmax is likely the most stable deconvolved parameter for the detection of tissue-at-risk using DSC-MRI.

Patients with intracranial aneurysms (IA) undergoing endovascular treatment face varying risks and benefits when tirofiban is used for thromboprophylaxis during surgery. Currently, there is a lack of high-level evidence summarizing this information. This study aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirofiban during endovascular treatment of IA.

Analysis of the symmetry of the brain hemispheres at the level of individual structures and dominant tissue features has been the subject of research for many years in the context of improving the effectiveness of imaging methods for the diagnosis of brain tumor, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease, among others. One useful approach is to reliably determine the midline of the brain, which allows comparative analysis of the hemispheres and uncovers information on symmetry/asymmetry in the relevant planes of, for example, CT scans. Therefore, an effective method that is robust to various geometric deformations, artifacts, varying noise characteristics, and natural anatomical variability is sought.

Purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common chronic cardiac arrhythmia that increases the risk of stroke, primarily due to thrombus formation in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices offer an alternative to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention. However, the complex and variable anatomy of the LAA presents significant challenges to device design and deployment.

Cognitive resilience (CR) describes the phenomenon of individuals evading cognitive decline despite prominent Alzheimer's disease neuropathology. Operationalization and measurement of this latent construct is non-trivial as it cannot be directly observed. The residual approach has been widely applied to estimate CR, where the degree of resilience is estimated through a linear model's residuals.

Multi-axis contouring control is crucial for ultraprecision manufacturing industries, contributing to meeting the ever-increasingly stringent performance requirements. In this article, a novel contouring adaptive real-time iterative compensation (CARIC) method is proposed to achieve extreme multi-axis contouring accuracy, remarkable trajectory generalization, disturbance rejection, and parametric adaptation simultaneously. Specifically, control actions generated by CARIC consist of robust feedback, adaptive feedforward, and online trajectory compensation components.
