Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of posterior scleral contraction (PSC) in the treatment of myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) by three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (3D MRI), swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).
Methods: In this prospective study, 30 eyes of 25 patients with MTM were treated with PSC. The ocular parameters of the patients were measured before surgery and at 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year after 3D MRI and SS-OCT/OCTA.
Results: The differences in preoperative and postoperative parameters, including axial length (AL), spherical equivalent (SE), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), retinoschisis area, total posterior staphyloma height (PSH), and vitreous volume were statistically significant (P < 0.001). The choroidal thickness (CT) in each sector, choroidal perfusion area (CPA) in subfoveal and temporal sectors, and choroidal vascularity index (CVI) in inferior and temporal sectors increased significantly after PSC surgery (P < 0.05). Additionally, 3D MRI showed that the surgical strips remained strong and stable during the follow-up period, without complications such as strip displacement, fracture, and loosening.
Conclusions: The application of 3D MRI and SS-OCT/OCTA in assessment of the treatment of MTM with PSC was comprehensive with multiple ocular parameters and could further guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of MTM.
Translational Relevance: We combined SS-OCT/OCTA and 3D MRI to provide the basis of a theory for guiding the clinical diagnosis and treatment of MTM.

Objective: To quantitatively and qualitatively compare directly two types of cisternography images for diagnosing trigeminal neuralgia (TN) using 3-T magnetic resonance imaging.
Methods: This prospective study recruited 64 patients with a clinical diagnosis or suspicion of TN. Patients were examined through the three-dimensional (3D) Constructive Interference in Steady State (CISS) and Sampling Perfection with Application-optimized Contrasts using different flip angle Evolutions (SPACE) sequences.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) preprocessing is a critical step for neuroimaging analysis. However, the computational cost of MRI preprocessing pipelines is a major bottleneck for large cohort studies and some clinical applications. While high-performance computing and, more recently, deep learning have been adopted to accelerate the computations, these techniques require costly hardware and are not accessible to all researchers.

Methods: Fast data acquisition is critical for neonatal brain MRI, and deep learning has emerged as an effective tool to accelerate existing fast MRI methods by leveraging prior image information. However, deep learning often requires large amounts of training data to ensure stable image reconstruction, which is not currently available for neonatal MRI applications.

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the gold standard for assessing cerebrovascular hemodynamics. DSA is predominantly utilized to evaluate the hemodynamic information of various cerebral diseases. However, DSA is relatively invasive and involves radiation exposure and risks of allergic reactions or renal dysfunction related to iodine-based contrast agents.
