Susceptibility‐weighted imaging (SWI) is a method that uses the intrinsic nature of local
magnetic fields to enhance image contrast in order to improve the visibility of various …

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Brain injury after
ischemic stroke involves multiple pathophysiological mechanisms, such as oxidative stress …

The human brain constitutes 2% of the body's total mass but uses 20% of the oxygen. The
rate of the brain's oxygen utilization can be derived from a knowledge of cerebral blood flow …

Sickle cell anaemia is a monogenetic disorder with a high incidence of stroke. While stroke
screening procedures exist for children with sickle cell anaemia, no accepted screening …

Blood transfusions are the mainstay of stroke prevention in pediatric sickle cell anemia
(SCA), but the physiology conferring this benefit is unclear. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) and …

Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of death and the leading cause of
adult disability in most developed countries. This work summarizes state-of-the-art, and …

Abstract pH-sensitive amide proton transfer (APT) MRI provides a surrogate metabolic
biomarker that complements the widely-used perfusion and diffusion imaging. However, the …

Purpose Our objective was to demonstrate the feasibility of using hyperventilation as an
efficient vasoconstrictive challenge and prior knowledge as denoising constraints for …

Purpose To determine the relationship between diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and
diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in patients with acute stroke at admission and the tissue …

Gaining insights into brain oxygen metabolism has been one of the key areas of research in
neurosciences. Extensive efforts have been devoted to developing approaches capable of …
