The Use of Visual Rating Scales to Quantify Brain MRI Lesions in Patients with HIV Infection
CONCLUSIONSVRSs reliably quantify WMH in HIV‐infected individuals and correlate with cognitive impairment. Future studies may find routinely acquired brain MRI quantified by VRS to be an accessible and meaningful neurologic outcome measure in HIV. (Source: Journal of Neuroimaging)

Reduced Cerebral White Matter Integrity Assessed by DTI in Cognitively Normal H63D ‐HFE Polymorphism Carriers
CONCLUSIONSThe MRI data presented here demonstrate that H63D‐HFE polymorphism carriers have diffusivity changes in white matter compared to wild‐type subjects. The reduced integrity white matter tracts in H63D‐HFE carriers are hypothesized to be related to increased susceptibility of these late‐myelinating regions to cellular stress induced by oligodendrocyte iron dyshomeostasis.

Interpretation of Brain CT Scans in the Field by Critical Care Physicians in a Mobile Stroke Unit
CONCLUSIONThis pilot study shows that anesthesiologists trained in prehospital critical care may effectively assess cerebral CT scans in an MSU, and determine if there are radiological contraindications for thrombolysis. (Source: Journal of Neuroimaging)

Longitudinal MR Spectroscopy Shows Altered Metabolism in Traumatic Brain Injury
CONCLUSIONSThe use of z‐score image analysis for MRSI provides a method for visualizing diffuse changes of tissue metabolism in the brain. This image visualization method is of particularly effective for visualizing widespread and diffuse metabolic changes, such as that due to traumatic injury. (Source: Journal of Neuroimaging)

Prognostic Role of Conventional and Dynamic Contrast ‐Enhanced MRI in Optic Pathway Gliomas
CONCLUSIONDCE MRI accurately distinguished progressive and nonprogressive OPGs, with high sensitivities and specificities. DCE MRI has a significant prognostic role in predicting progressive OPGs, thus making it useful for the identification of patients who need close clinical and imaging follow‐up.

A Novel Semiautomated Pipeline to Measure Brain Atrophy and Lesion Burden in Multiple Sclerosis: A Long ‐Term Comparative Study
CONCLUSIONSWe found relatively strong correlations of cross‐sectional and longitudinal data obtained by both techniques. However, SIENA showed lower intraindividual variability than the ScanView method in measuring whole brain volume loss over time. (Source: Journal of Neuroimaging)

Cerebral Pulsatility Index Is Elevated in Patients with Elevated Right Atrial Pressure
CONCLUSIONPatients with elevated right atrial pressure had significantly higher CPI compared to patients with normal right atrial pressure. These findings suggest that cerebro‐venous congestion due to impaired jugular venous outflow may increase distal cerebrovascular resistance as measured by CPI. Since elevated CPI is associated with poor outcome in numerous neurological conditions, future studies are needed to elucidate the significance of these results in other populations.

Lesions in the Splenium of the Corpus Callosum on MRI in Children: A Review
ABSTRACT
A wide variety of conditions may involve the splenium of the corpus callosum on magnetic resonance imaging in children. A single cause may present with different patterns of splenial involvement, and multiple diseases may have similar imaging findings. Keeping this limitation in mind, the goal of this text is to assist in the diagnostic process of pediatric neurological diseases that are characterized by prominent involvement of the splenium of the corpus callosum on imaging. The various pathologies will be reviewed and categorized based on etiology, reversibility, and pattern of additional or associated findings....
