Abstract
Recent publications have suggested incorporating coronal diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences and axial DWI sequences to enhance the detection of posterior fossa infarcts (PFIs). This study evaluated the utility of coronal DWIs compared with axial DWIs for assessing PFIs in the emergency department (ED).
期刊介绍:
The mission of Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography is to showcase the latest clinical and research developments in CT, MR, and closely related diagnostic techniques. We encourage submission of both original research and review articles that have immediate or promissory clinical applications. Topics of special interest include: 1) functional MR and CT of the brain and body; 2) advanced/innovative MRI techniques (diffusion, perfusion, rapid scanning); and 3) advanced/innovative CT techniques (perfusion, multi-energy, dose-reduction, and processing).
