Advancements in Production of Radioisotopes to Benefit Therapeutic Nuclear Medicine

Diagnostic technique is nuclear computed tomography (CT) scan, which involves the use of radioactive materials to create a computer image of the internal structures of the human body. This procedure can help to determine the location and degree of internal organ injury or disease in patients with suspected aortic aneurysm, heart attack, or cancer.Nuclear imaging equipment are used in order to monitor the progress of diseases as they progress from the beginning to the end stages. Diagnostic tests of therapeutic nuclear medicine have become.....read more

Diffusion tensor imaging and ventricle volume quantification in patients with chronic shunt-treated hydrocephalus

Diffusion tensor imaging and ventricle volume quantification in patients with chronic shunt-treated hydrocephalus

J Neurosurg 129:1611–1622, 2018

The object of this study was to use diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) to characterize the long-term effects of hydrocephalus and shunting on white matter integrity and to investigate the relationship of ventricular size and alterations in white matter integrity with headache and quality-of-life outcome measures.

Value of whole-body low-dose computed tomography in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts: a retrospective study

Value of whole-body low-dose computed tomography in patients with ventriculoperitoneal shunts: a retrospective study

J Neurosurg 129:1598–1603, 2018

The gold standard for evaluation of ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt position, dislocation, or disconnection is conventional radiography. Yet, assessment with this modality can be challenging because of low image quality and can result in repetitive radiation exposure with high fluctuation in the radiation dose. Recently, CT-based radiation doses have been…

Evaluation of a novel noninvasive ICP monitoring device in patients undergoing invasive ICP monitoring: preliminary results

Evaluation of a novel noninvasive ICP monitoring device in patients undergoing invasive ICP monitoring: preliminary results

J Neurosurg 128:1653–1660, 2018

There is no established method of noninvasive intracranial pressure (NI-ICP) monitoring that can serve as an alternative to the gold standards of invasive monitoring with external ventricular drainage or intraparenchymal monitoring. In this study a new method of NI-ICP monitoring performed using algorithms to determine ICP based on acoustic properties of the brain…

Risk assessment of motor function using nTMS-based tractography

Risk assessment of motor function using nTMS-based tractography

J Neurosurg 128:800–810, 2018

Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) and diffusion tensor imaging fiber tracking (DTI FT) based on nTMS data are increasingly used for preoperative planning and resection guidance in patients suffering from motor-eloquent brain tumors. The present study explores whether nTMS-based DTI FT can also be used for individual preoperative risk assessment…
