Objective: To explore the feasibility of computed tomography perfusion imaging (CTP) for evaluating hemodynamics in hemorrhagic moyamoya disease (MMD).
Methods: The retrospective analysis included 25 patients with hemorrhagic MMD who underwent brain CTP examination. Two experienced radiologists manually delineated regions of interest (ROIs) in the bilateral frontal lobe, temporal lobe, brain tissue adjacent to the hemorrhagic foci, and brainstem as a control region. The perfusion values for all ROIs were extracted, including cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), mean transit time (MTT), and time to peak (TTP). Subsequently, the differences in perfusion values for different brain tissues were compared between the hemorrhagic side and the nonhemorrhagic side. For patients who underwent revascularization surgery, differences in perfusion values from before to after surgery were determined in brain tissues on the ipsilateral side.
Results: CBF in the area around the hematoma and the lateral temporal lobe on the hemorrhage hemisphere was lower than that on the contralateral side, whereas TTP and MTT were higher. Among the 14 patients who underwent revascularization, CBF and CBV in the postoperative temporal lobes were higher than the preoperative values, whereas TTP and MTT were lower. CBF and CBV in the frontal lobe were higher after the operation.
Conclusions: Hemorrhagic MMD results in cerebral ischemia, and CTP could be used to localize such ischemic brain tissue and objectively evaluate the changes in cerebral hemodynamics with revascularization.

Objectives: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has revolutionized the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Still, the efficacy and safety in patients older than 85 years of age are not conclusive by the present randomized controlled trials' data (RCT). Aging is a multifactorial process and the impact of MT on this specific population needs to be further analyzed.

Obesity and retinal microvasculature dysfunction are linked and impact visual acuity. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the HOMA-IR score and the presence of vascular dysfunction (capillary perfusion and flux index) of the optic nerve head (ONH) of the retina in obese patients and to determine its diagnostic performance to predict vascular dysfunction. A case-control study was conducted in 2022 involving individuals from obese and non-obese groups.

The compliant nature of cerebral blood vessels may represent an important mechanical protection for sustained cerebral perfusion during reductions in arterial blood pressure (ABP). However, whether the rise in cerebrovascular compliance (Ci) with falling ABP persists and exhibits a threshold effect remains unknown. Therefore, we analyzed Ci changes during graded head-up tilt (HUT) in individuals with autonomic failure (AF), a group that tolerates graded and progressive reductions in ABP.

Backgrounds/aims: Liver transplantation (LT) is now a critical, life-saving treatment for patients with liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite its significant benefits, biliary complications (BCs) continue to be a major cause of postoperative morbidity. This study evaluates the fluorescence intensity (FI) of the common bile duct (CBD) utilizing near-infrared indocyanine green (ICG) imaging, and examines its association with the incidence of BCs within three months post-LT.

Purpose: Perfusion modeling presents significant opportunities for imaging biomarker development in breast cancer but has historically been held back by the need for data beyond the clinical standard of care (SoC) and uncertainty in the interpretability of results. We aimed to design a perfusion model applicable to breast cancer SoC dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) series with results stable to low temporal resolution imaging, comparable with published results using full-resolution DCE-MRI, and correlative with orthogonal imaging modalities indicative of biophysical markers.
Methods: Subsampled high-temporal-resolution DCE-MRI series were run through our perfusion model and resulting fits were compared for consistency.
