These authors evaluated CTA studies of 228 patients paying special attention to the clot features, and correlated these features with early reperfusion rates. Clot features that predicted successful early reperfusion included: shorter clot, residual flow within the clot, and distal location. Reperfusion was achieved in only 8% of patients with longer and proximal clots and in those without residual flow.

T2-weighted and CISS images were compared with thin-section postcontrast T1 sequences for the detection of small (<10 mm) internal auditory canal schwannomas in 23 patients. The authors concluded that screening noncontrast MR imaging using a combination of axial CISS and coronal T2WI sequences can detect small internal auditory canal lesions with 100% sensitivity and excellent interobserver agreement.
