Objective: To explore whether segmentation and 3D modeling are more accurate in the preoperative detection of the neurovascular relationship (NVR) in patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) compared to MRI fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition (FIESTA).
Method: Segmentation and 3D modeling using 3D Slicer were conducted for 40 patients undergoing MRI FIESTA and microsurgical vascular decompression (MVD). The NVR, as well as the offending vessel determined by MRI FIESTA and 3D Slicer, was reviewed and compared with intraoperative manifestations using SPSS.
Results: The k agreement between the MRI FIESTA and operation in determining the NVR was 0.232 and that between the 3D modeling and operation was 0.6333. There was no significant difference between these two procedures (χ = 8.09, P = 0.088). The k agreement between the MRI FIESTA and operation in determining the offending vessel was 0.373, and that between the 3D modeling and operation was 0.922. There were significant differences between two of them (χ = 82.01, P = 0.000). The sensitivity and specificity for MRI FIESTA in determining the NVR were 87.2 % and 100 %, respectively, and for 3D modeling were both 100 %.
Conclusion: The segmentation and 3D modeling were more accurate than MRI FIESTA in preoperative verification of the NVR and offending vessel. This was consistent with surgical manifestations and was more helpful for the preoperative decision and surgical plan.

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a rare condition characterized by pain along the distribution of the glossopharyngeal nerve. Surgical approaches via microvascular decompression represent a common treatment strategy. For this procedure, an understanding of the location of the cranial nerve and the offending vasculature is critically important.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used for diagnosing placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PASDs) because of its advanced soft-tissue contrast and spatial resolution capabilities, offering better contrast, improved spatial resolution, and a wider field of view compared with ultrasound. Using a 1.5-Tesla MRI protocol with multiple sequences, MRI can detect indicative signs of PASD such as placental signal heterogeneity, interruption of the myometrium-placenta interface, and abnormal vascularization.

Background And Purpose: Pituitary microadenomas can be challenging to see on MRI, particularly when they are small. The detection of microadenomas commonly relies on contrast-enhanced sequences, highlighting the adenoma that demonstrates hypoenhancement relative to the native pituitary on T1-weighted sequences. Detecting adenomas in patients with Cushing disease is crucial, as surgery is the standard of care treatment.

Purpose: This study investigated the ability of three-dimentional motion-sensitized driven-equilibrium prepared T-weighted fast spin echo (3D MSDE-FSE) imaging to identify distal dural rings (DDRs) and paraclinoid aneurysms (ParaC-ANs) and differentiate between intradural and extradural ParaC-ANs and compared it with that of established MR cisternography-based techniques.
Methods: 3D MSDE-FSE images were acquired along with fast imaging employing steady state acquisition (FIESTA), and time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA) on a 3T MRI system in 53 patients with unruptured and untreated ParaC-ANs. Two radiologists applied a 3-point scale to rate the clarity with which the DDR (53 left and 53 right) and ParaC-ANs (total of 55) were depicted in the 3D MSDE-FSE and FIESTA images.

Background: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging metrics iron-corrected T1 (cT1) and liver fat from proton density fat-fraction (PDFF) are both commonly used as noninvasive biomarkers for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH); however, their repeatability in this population has rarely been characterized.
Purpose: To quantify the variability of cT1 and liver fat fraction from PDFF in patients with biopsy-confirmed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and MASH.
Study Type: Prospective, single center.
