Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics and Subarachnoid Space Occlusion Following Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury in the Pig: An Investigation Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Study on Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics Following Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury in a Porcine Model Background Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a severe neurological disorder that often leads to permanent neurological dysfunction. Despite years of efforts by scientists to develop treatments, progress has been limited due to the complex pathophysio...

Relaxation-Exchange Magnetic Resonance Imaging (REXI): A Non-Invasive Imaging Method for Evaluating Trans-Barrier Water Exchange in the Choroid Plexus

Non-Invasive Imaging Technique for Evaluating Trans-Barrier Water Exchange in the Choroid Plexus Background Introduction The choroid plexus (CP) is a critical site for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production and an essential component of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB). The CP regulates CSF secretion and absorption, maintaining brain hom...

AI-Powered Radiomics Algorithm Based on Slice Pooling for the Glioma Grading

AI-Powered Radiomics Algorithm Based on Slice Pooling for the Glioma Grading

AI-Assisted Radiomics Algorithm for Glioma Grading Based on Slice Pooling Background Introduction Glioma is the most common and threatening tumor in the central nervous system, characterized by high incidence, high recurrence rates, high mortality, and low cure rates. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies gliomas into four grades (I, II, I...

Unsupervised Fusion of Misaligned PAT and MRI Images via Mutually Reinforcing Cross-Modality Image Generation and Registration

Unsupervised Fusion of Unaligned PAT and MRI Images Using Mutually Enhancing Cross-Modality Image Generation and Registration Methods Background and Research Objectives In recent years, photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been widely used in preclinical research as cutting-edge biomedical imaging techniques.
