Brain Imaging in Capillary Telangiectasia
Capillary telangiectasias (CTSs) are small areas of abnormally dilated capillaries within otherwise normal brain tissue. Although CTSs most commonly occur in the pons, they have been described… Read more “Brain Imaging in Capillary Telangiectasia”
Brain Imaging in Astrocytoma
Primary intra-axial brain tumors account for approximately two thirds of all brain neoplasms, whereas the remaining one third is made up of metastases. As a group, gliomas… Read more “Brain Imaging in Astrocytoma”
Brain Imaging in Arteriovenous Malformation
An arteriovenous malformation is a tangled cluster of vessels, typically located in the supratentorial part of the brain, in which arteries connect directly to veins without any… Read more “Brain Imaging in Arteriovenous Malformation”
Brain Herniation Imaging
The brain is an organ of immense complexity. In the cranium, dural reflections and bony landmarks divide the brain into anatomic regions. Brain herniation represents mechanical displacement… Read more “Brain Herniation Imaging”
