Pahwa, Z. Lu, M. Schluchter, J. Sunshine, M. Griswold, A. Sloan and V. GulaniAmerican Journal of Neuroradiology March 2017, 38 (3) 492-499; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3174/ajnr.A5035MR fingerprinting is a technique in which pseudorandomized acquisition parameters are used to simultaneously quantify multiple tissue properties, including T1 and T2 relaxation times. The authors evaluated the ability of MR fingerprinting–derived T1 and T2 relaxometry to differentiate the 3 common types of intra-axial brain tumors (17 glioblastomas, 6 lower grade gliomas, and 8 metastases). Using these parameters, they explored the T1 and T2 properties of peritumoral white matter in various tumor types. Mean T2 values could differentiate solid tumor regions of lowergrade gliomas from metastases and the mean T1 of peritumoral white matter surrounding lowergrade gliomas differed from peritumoral white matter around glioblastomas.

Laiwalla, F. Kurth, K. Leu, R. Liou, J. Pamplona, Y.C. Ooi, N. Salamon, B.M. Ellingson and N.R. GonzalezAmerican Journal of Neuroradiology March 2017, 38 (3) 507-514; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3174/ajnr.A5041In this prospective study, 13 patients underwent unilateral indirect cerebral revascularization and DSC-MR imaging before and after surgery. Conventional perfusion parameters (relative CBV, relative CBF, and TTP) and probabilistic independent components that reflect the relative contributions of DSC signals consistent with arterial, capillary, and venous hemodynamics were calculated and examined for significant changes after surgery. Before surgery, tissue within the affected hemisphere demonstrated a high probability for hemodynamics consistent with venous flow and a low probability for hemodynamics consistent with arterial flow, whereas the contralateral control hemisphere demonstrated the reverse. Consistent with symptomatic improvement, the probability for venous hemodynamics within the affected hemisphere decreased with time after surgery. The authors conclude that probabilistic independent component analysis yielded sensitive measurements of changes in local tissue perfusion that may be associated with newly formed vasculature after indirect cerebral revascularization surgery

Petrella for the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging InitiativeAmerican Journal of Neuroradiology March 2017, 38 (3) 546-552; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3174/ajnr.A5061The authors assessed the prognostic efficacy of individual-versus-combined regional volumetrics in 2 commercially available brain volumetric software packages for predicting conversion of patients with mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer disease. One hundred ninety-two subjects (mean age, 74.8 years) diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment at baseline were studied. On univariable analysis of 11 NeuroQuant and 11 Neuroreader regional volumes, hippocampal volume had the highest area under the curve for both software packages (0.69, NeuroQuant; 0.68, Neuroreader) and was not significantly different between packages. They conclude that of the multiple regional volume measures available in FDA-cleared brain volumetric software packages, hippocampal volume remains the best single predictor of conversion of mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer disease at 3-year follow-up.
