Perfusion imaging techniques provide quantitative characterization of tissue microvasculature. Perfusion MR of liver is particularly challenging because of dual afferent flow, need for large organ high-resolution coverage, and significant movement with respiration. The most common MR technique used for quantifying liver perfusion is dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging. Here, the authors describe the various perfusion MR models of the liver, the basic concepts behind implementing a perfusion acquisition, and clinical results that have been obtained using these models.

Preferential Sites of Retinal Capillary Occlusion in Sickle Cell Disease.
Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai, New York, New York, United States.
Purpose: To assess the preferential sites of retinal capillary occlusion at the parafovea in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A).
Methods: OCT-A scans from 107 patients with SCD and 51 race-matched unaffected controls were obtained using a commercial spectral domain-OCT system. At least eight sequential 3 × 3 mm scans centered at the fovea were acquired and averaged for image analysis.

Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, OH, USA.
Background: We previously identified circulating and MRI biomarkers associated with the surgical management of Crohn's disease (CD). Here we tested associations between these biomarkers and ileal resection inflammation and collagen content.
Methods: Fifty CD patients undergoing ileal resection were prospectively enrolled at 4 centers.
The e-STROKE Study: The Design of a Prospective Observational Multicentral Study.

Department of Neurology, University Hospital in Ostrava, 70800 Ostrava, Czech Republic.
The e-STROKE study is a prospective, multicenter observational study designed to assess the impact of various CT parameters (including e-ASPECT, CT perfusion (CTP), collateral flow status, and the size and location of the ischemic lesion) on the clinical outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke, as evaluated by the modified Rankins Scale (mRS) three months post-stroke. This study also aims to investigate whether the use of multimodal CT imaging increases the number of patients eligible for recanalization therapy. The analysis will integrate data from the RES-Q registry and radiological data from the e-STROKE system provided by Brainomix Ltd.

: Augmented reality (AR) may allow vitreoretinal surgeons to leverage microscope-integrated digital imaging systems to analyze and highlight key retinal anatomic features in real time, possibly improving safety and precision during surgery. By employing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for retina vessel segmentation, a retinal coordinate system can be created that allows pre-operative images of capillary non-perfusion or retinal breaks to be digitally aligned and overlayed upon the surgical field in real time. Such technology may be useful in assuring thorough laser treatment of capillary non-perfusion or in using pre-operative optical coherence tomography (OCT) to guide macular surgery when microscope-integrated OCT (MIOCT) is not available.
