TL;DR: This article examines the diagnostic ability of diffusion-weighted imaging to discriminate brain abscess from necrotic or cystic tumors and finds high signal intensity was observed in the abscess fluid, associated with low ADC.

TL;DR: It is postulate that the ischemic event that causes ONF will have occurred within 12 weeks after transplantation, considering the time lag of reparative reaction to the dead bone.

TL;DR: It was demonstrated that the increase in edema fluid was steady, and its content was constant during formation of TET-induced edema, and proton NMR relaxation time measurements may provide new understanding in the field of brain edema research.

TL;DR: The authors studied the movement of water molecules in each type of white matter edema in a rat model by using diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging, and found that the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of water was different in each types of edema.

TL;DR: A dynamic AIM (DAIM) paradigm was developed, which used sequential MR scans during MnCl2 infusion, prior to and following functional stimulation of the brain, and it was shown that DAIM maps are better confined to the specific region of brain activated by somatosensory stimulation as compared to AIM MRI.
