MR Imaging for Differentiating Contrast Staining from Hemorrhagic Transformation after Endovascular Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Phantom and Patient Study.
Early differentiation of contrast staining from hemorrhagic transformation in patients with acute ischemic stroke who have undergone endovascular treatment is critical in preventing the delayed administration of antiplatelet agents. We aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of an immediate postinterventional DWI protocol including B0 and gradient recalled-echo sequences to discriminate those 2 conditions through phantom and preliminary retrospective patient studies. ⋯ According to our preliminary results, contrast staining might be differentiated from hemorrhagic transformation using an immediate postinterventional DWI protocol including gradient recalled-echo sequences. It might be possible to expedite establishment of postinterventional medical treatment strategy.

The Top 20 Most Prolific Authors in the American Journal of Neuroradiology: What Is Their Impact?
Many articles that are relevant to patient care but published in radiology journals may escape notice by clinicians. We sought to determine how often the 20 most prolific American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR) authors from 2013 to 2017 published in clinical journals and the extent to which their articles were disseminated into the clinical literature. ⋯ Regardless of where it is published, radiology research is disseminating into the clinical realm. Radiology articles published in clinical journals are cited more often than those published in radiology journals.
