Intraparenchymal brain hemorrhage is not uncommon and results from a wide variety of causes ranging from trauma to tumor. Many a time, it is not possible to determine the exact cause of non-traumatic hemorrhage on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a high-resolution (3D) gradient-echo sequence. It is extremely sensitive to the inhomogeneity of the local magnetic field and highly useful in identifying the small amount of hemorrhage, which may be inapparent on other MR pulse sequences. In this review, we present different pattern of an intra-parenchymal brain hemorrhage on SWI with emphasis on differential diagnosis.

Background: The internal venous system of the brain is a crucial anatomical landmark during accesses to the third ventricle through the foramen of Monro. Many classifications based on radiological assessment of the system have been developed, but they tend to be descriptive and do not highlight favorable anatomical variants. The aim of our study was to create a system based on morphometric measurements to facilitate preoperative decision-making regarding access to third ventricle tumors.

Purpose: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas (UPSs) demonstrate therapy-induced hemosiderin deposition, granulation tissue formation, fibrosis, and calcification. We aimed to determine the treatment-assessment value of morphologic tumoral hemorrhage patterns and first- and high-order radiomic features extracted from contrast-enhanced susceptibility-weighted imaging (CE-SWI).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective institutional review board-authorized study included 33 patients with extremity UPS with magnetic resonance imaging and resection performed from February 2021 to May 2023.

Radiomic signatures of brain metastases on MRI: utility in predicting pathological subtypes of lung cancer.

Transl Cancer Res

December 2024

Department of Radiology, Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.

Background: The pathological sub-classification of lung cancer is crucial in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis for patients. Quick and timely identification of pathological subtypes from imaging examinations rather than histological tests could help guiding therapeutic strategies. The aim of the study is to construct a non-invasive radiomics-based model for predicting the subtypes of lung cancer on brain metastases (BMs) from multiple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences.

Background: In multiple sclerosis (MS), susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) may reveal white matter lesions (WML) with a paramagnetic rim ("paramagnetic rim lesions" [PRLs]) or diffuse hypointensity ("core-sign lesions"), reflecting different stages of WML evolution.

Objective: Using the soma and neurite density imaging (SANDI) model on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we characterized microstructural abnormalities of MS PRLs and core-sign lesions and their clinical relevance.

Methods: Forty MS patients and 20 healthy controls (HC) underwent a 3 T brain MRI.

Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare uterine malignancy that causes non-specific symptoms which presents more typically in younger women compared to other uterine sarcomas. Preoperative diagnosis of myometrial LGESS is challenging, as it is frequently mistaken for a benign uterine mass, such as a degenerating leiomyoma. Despite its rarity, the imaging findings of LGESS are highly variable, complicating the diagnostic process.
