Spontaneous vertebral dissection: clinical, conventional angiographic, CT, and MR findings.
The purpose of this study was to determine if typical clinical and neuroradiologic patterns exist in patients with spontaneous vertebral artery (VA) dissection. ⋯ No preferred site of dissection along the course of the VA was found in this study. CT and MR examinations of the head are frequently normal in patients with VA dissections. No correlation between clinical outcome and findings at repeat angiography was demonstrated.

CT and MRI of experimentally induced mesenteric ischemia in a porcine model.
Our goal was to assess the value of CT and MRI for the detection of bowel wall changes in experimentally induced mesenteric ischemia. ⋯ Cross-sectional imaging has a high sensitivity for delineation of ischemic bowel wall segments. The enhancement pattern of the bowel wall enables detection of location, extent, and cause of a acute arterial mesenteric ischemia with high accuracy in an early phase.
