Journal Article
Discrepancy and error in radiology: concepts, causes and consequences.
TL;DR: Radiology involves decision-making under conditions of uncertainty2, and therefore cannot always produce infallible interpretations or reports, and the use of the term “error” is often unsuitable; it is more appropriate to concentrate on "discrepancies" between a report and a retrospective review of a film or outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retroperitoneal fibrosis: a review of clinical features and imaging findings.
Carmel G. Cronin,Derek G. Lohan,Michael A. Blake,Clare Roche,Peter McCarthy,Joseph M. Murphy +5 more
TL;DR: Familiarity with the realm of imaging manifestations of retroperitoneal fibrosis is vital to ensure correct diagnosis and optimal treatment, particularly in patients with concomitant systemic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limbic and Callosal White Matter Changes in Euthymic Bipolar I Disorder: An Advanced Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging Tractography Study
Louise Emsell,Alexander Leemans,Camilla Langan,Wim Van Hecke,Gareth J. Barker,Peter McCarthy,Ben Jeurissen,Jan Sijbers,Stefan Sunaert,Dara M. Cannon,Colm McDonald +10 more
TL;DR: Improved fiber-tracking method in a clinically homogeneous population was able to localize trait diffusivity changes to specific subdivisions of limbic fiber pathways, including the fornix, extending previous reports of altered limbic system microstructural disorganization as a trait feature of bipolar disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Altered Interhemispheric and Temporal Lobe White Matter Microstructural Organization in Severe Chronic Schizophrenia
Laurena Holleran,Mohamed Ahmed,Heike Anderson-Schmidt,John McFarland,Louise Emsell,Alexander Leemans,Cathy Scanlon,Peter Dockery,Peter McCarthy,Gareth J. Barker,Colm McDonald,Dara M. Cannon +11 more
TL;DR: Deep diffusion MRI investigations in schizophrenia detected widespread abnormal diffusivity properties in the callosal and temporal lobe WM regions in individuals with severe chronic schizophrenia who have not previously been exposed to clozapine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progressive Brain Atrophy and Cortical Thinning in Schizophrenia after Commencing Clozapine Treatment
Mohamed Ahmed,Dara M. Cannon,Cathy Scanlon,Laurena Holleran,Heike Schmidt,John McFarland,Camilla Langan,Peter McCarthy,Gareth J. Barker,Brian Hallahan,Colm McDonald +10 more
TL;DR: The clinical improvement of most patients indicates that antipsychotic-related gray matter volume loss may not necessarily be harmful or reflect neurotoxicity, and on-going reductions in brain volume and progressive cortical thinning in patients with schizophrenia who are switched to clozapine treatment are demonstrated.
