Objectives: To improve preoperative diagnostic accuracy of struma ovarii by retrospectively reviewing magnetic resonance (MR) findings. It is beneficial to choose the most appropriate surgical modality for the patient.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical course and MR characteristics of 52 patients who were diagnosed postoperatively with struma ovarii, pathologically, from two institutions.

Korea University, Sejong, Sejong, Korea, Republic of (South).

Background: Amyloid-β accumulation is a pivotal factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. As treatment for AD has not been successful yet, the most effective approach lies in early diagnosis and the subsequent delay of disease progression. Hence, this study introduces a deep learning model to predict amyloid-β accumulation in the brain.

Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA.

Background: Microglia undergo varying regional dependent functional changes, which can exacerbate cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease, but the full clinical relevance remains unclear. Ramified microglia survey the micro-environment and inert/amoeboid microglia engulf debris. A third morphological type; rod microglia, have been observed in a number of pathological conditions, but are relatively understudied.

Background: Leveraging non-invasive ultra-high field, 7 Tesla (7T) MRI, with increased signal-to-noise ratio and improved soft tissue contrast afforded by 7T allows us to accurately map tissue microstructure. We aim to use 7T MR Elastography (MRE), 7T Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), 3T amyloid-PET, and Preclinical Alzheimer Cognitive Composite (PACC) score to determine the relationships between these metrics in a cohort of older individuals with either normal cognition (CN), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

Methods: 7T MRE, 7T DTI, 3T PET (Fig.
