Whole-brain constrained spherical deconvolution–based tractography and track-density imaging maps reveal the presence of abnormal fiber tracks projecting from heterotopic nodules in patients with periventricular nodular heterotopia that are not detected with conventional neuroimaging techniques routinely used to investigate malformations of cortical development in vivo.

In summary, underestimation was noted in 25.8% of cases of atypical ductal hyperplasia and in 23.1% of cases of ductal carcinoma in situ diagnosed by using MR imaging–guided biopsy, with the presence of a mass being the main variable associated with underestimation.

Incidentally discovered findings on brain MR imaging that necessitate further diagnostic evaluation occur in over 3% of the middle-aged and elderly population, but are generally without substantial clinical consequences.

Noninvasive molecular imaging of in vivo marrow stromal cell (MSC) fate in large animals for cardiac cell therapy with translational components and instrumentation, and with quantitative preclinical noninvasive molecular imaging endpoints of the same MSC in small animals, enables direct comparison between animal models, removing barriers toward clinical translation.
