Medical Imaging Research

KEY FINDING: Significant differences in fractional anisotropy (FA) were observed in the corticospinal tracts (CST) of injured rats compared to controls, specifically in the internal capsule and cerebral peduncle.

KEY FINDING: After a crush injury, most YFP+ axons grew through the injury site within three days.

KEY FINDING: Implanted glass windows stabilize the spinal cord, reduce motion artifacts, and remain clear for extended periods.

KEY FINDING: MRI is a valuable noninvasive tool for tracking stem cell migration, engraftment, survival, and differentiation in stroke models.

KEY FINDING: Lesions in the cerebrum, spinal cord, and supratentorial position are likely to influence activities of daily living in multiple sclerosis patients.

KEY FINDING: Fiber bundles in affected nerve roots tend to gather together and are often interrupted compared to unaffected nerve roots.

KEY FINDING: Fast-track stroke MRI in the ED was associated with a reduction in the average length of stay in the hospital.

KEY FINDING: Radiomics can accurately differentiate between SCI patients and healthy controls. The machine learning model achieved an accuracy of 1.0 and an MCC of 0.97.

KEY FINDING: Patients in both groups showed significant postoperative improvement in NDI and JOA scores, indicating that ACCF is effective regardless of the slotting width.

KEY FINDING: The study found that a screw entry at the center of the lateral mass, below its junction with the posterior arch, allowed straight screws of lengths 20 mm and 19.5 mm in Emirati males and females, respectively.
