In situ photopolymerizable hydrogels for intracranial aneurysms treatment

Oriane Poupart

Intracranial aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disease characterized by an artery dilation in the brain. An aneurysm is prone to rupture, which causes a life-threatening subarachnoid hemorrhage. The major drawbacks of the current treatments, open surgical clip ...

Stereotactic Gamma Knife Radiosurgery for Extracranial Arteriovenous Malformations

Constantin Tuleasca

Introduction: Head and neck extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare pathological conditions which pose diagnostic and reconstruction challenges. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is nowadays an established treatment method for brain AVMs, wi ...

Metabolic fingerprints discriminating severity of acute ischemia using in vivo high-field H-1 magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Mario Gaetano Lepore, Hongxia Lei, Lara Buscemi Estefanell

Despite the improving imaging techniques, it remains challenging to produce magnetic resonance (MR) imaging fingerprints depicting severity of acute ischemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the overall high-field H-1 MR Spectroscopy ...

Tracing in 2D to reduce the annotation effort for 3D deep delineation of linear structures

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Agata Justyna Mosinska, Mateusz Kozinski

The difficulty of obtaining annotations to build training databases still slows down the adoption of recent deep learning approaches for biomedical image analysis. In this paper, we show that we can train a Deep Net to perform 3D volumetric delineation giv ...

How Flow Reduction Influences the Intracranial Aneurysm Occlusion: A Prospective 4D Phase-Contrast MRI Study

Mohamed Farhat, Philippe Reymond, Pierre Bouillot

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Flow-diverter stents are widely used for the treatment of wide-neck intracranial aneurysms. Various parameters may influence intracranial aneurysm thrombosis, including the flow reduction induced by flow-diverter stent implantation, ...

Pharmacokinetics and biodistribution study of self-assembled Gd-micelles demonstrating blood-pool contrast enhancement for MRI

Lothar Helm, Yohan Van de Looij

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) requires the use of contrast agents (CAs) to enable accurate diagnosis. There are currently no CAs on the market with appropriate pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, namely long persistence in the blood, that can be easily ...

3D phase contrast MRI: Partial volume correction for robust blood flow quantification in small intracranial vessels

Mohamed Farhat, Pierre Bouillot

Purpose: Recent advances in 3D-PCMRI (phase contrast MRI) sequences allow for measuring the complex hemodynamics in cerebral arteries. However, the small size of these vessels vs spatial resolution can lead to non-negligible partial volume artifacts, which ...

Virtual-versus-Real Implantation of Flow Diverters: Clinical Potential and Influence of Vascular Geometry

Mohamed Farhat, Pierre Bouillot, Hasan Yilmaz

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intracranial stents have become extremely important in the endovascular management of complex intracranial aneurysms. Sizing and landing zone predictions are still very challenging steps in the procedure. Virtual stent deployment ma ...

Metal artefact reduction in computed tomography images by a fourth-order total variation flow

Alfio Quarteroni, Elena Faggiano

Permanent metallic implants, such as dental fillings and cardiac devices, generate streaks-like artefacts in computed tomography (CT) images. In this article, we propose a strategy to perform metal artefact reduction (MAR) that relies on the total variatio ...

Intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics: evaluation of pCONus and pCANvas bifurcation aneurysm devices using DSA optical flow imaging

Pierre Bouillot

Background Implantation of self-expanding stents from the parent artery into the sac of a bifurcation aneurysm is regularly used to facilitate endovascular coil occlusion with the so-called waffle cone technique (WCT). Self-expanding aneurysm bridging sten ...

Fast virtual deployment of self-expandable stents: Method and in vitro evaluation for intracranial aneurysmal stenting

Luca Augsburger, Daniel Ruefenacht

Introduction: Minimally invasive treatment approaches, like the implantation of percutaneous stents, are becoming more popular every day for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The outcome of such treatments is related to factors like vessel and aneur ...

Effect of Flow Diverter Porosity on Intra-aneurysmal Blood Flow

Mohamed Farhat

Background and Purpose: Growth and rupture, the two events that dominate the evolution of an intracranial aneurysm, are both dependent on intraaneurysmal flow. Decrease of intraaneurysmal flow is considered an attractive alternative for treating intracrani ...
