The IVIM-fitted post-processing of DWI-signal decay in human gliomas could show significantly different values of fractional perfusion-related volume and fast diffusion coefficient between low- and high-grade tumors, which might enable a noninvasive WHO grading in vivo.

Venous reflux flow on TOF MRA is infrequently observed, and reflux pattern is variable. Because it is exclusively located in the left side, the reflux signal on TOF MRA could be an alarm for an undesirable candidate for a contrast injection on the left side for contrast-enhanced imaging study.

The adjuvant use of Onyx with detachable coils in direct CCF through the arterial route is a safe and effective method for embolization with immediate and complete occlusion of the fistula. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case series of demonstration of arterial use of Onyx with coils in the treatment of direct CCFs.

Stent-assisted coil embolization is beneficial for the retreatment of wide-necked recurrent or residual intracranial aneurysms, but stability and permanent occlusion of the recurrent aneurysm is unlikely if the aneurysm exceeds 2 cm in diameter, the recurrent diameter of the aneurysm exceeds 10 mm, or if mass effect is present with the recurrent aneurysm.

Contrast-enhanced MRI plays a pivotal role in children with CIDP, both for the initial diagnosis as well as a biomarker of clinical evolution, and should be performed in all children with suspected CIDP both at initial presentation and during follow-up. Further multicenter studies on larger cohorts are awaited to determine the ideal timing for follow-up MRI.

Infants can benefit from the use of a 3 Tesla MR-compatible incubator because of its safety, easier, and faster handling (compared to standard imaging) and possibility to obtain high-quality MR images even in unstable patients.

Quantitative analysis using a digital phantom revealed that the Bayesian estimation algorithm yielded CBF, CBV, and MTT maps strongly correlated with the true values and MTT maps with better agreement than those produced by delay-insensitive SVD algorithms.
Chemotherapy in children with hematological malignancies predominantly affects the frontal WM. This finding might indicate a negative effect of chemotherapy on neurological development in children with hematological malignancies.
Vascular and secondary parenchymal changes, likely due to luxury perfusion, Wallerian, retrograde, or trans-synaptic degeneration, are common in pediatric MCA stroke population. They might mimic new ischemic lesions or suggest conditions different from stroke leading to diagnostic pitfalls and inappropriate treatment.
