To investigate the efficacy of diffusion-weighted imaging in patients with Wallenberg's lateral medullary syndrome. ⋯ DWI is a valuable technique for examining patients presenting with the signs and symptoms of Wallenberg's syndrome and high b-value images can provide complementary data to T2-weighted images. However, because most of our case group were in either the acute or subacute stage, true sensitivity of the method in the hyperacute stage of the syndrome remains unclear.

Comparative Study
Regional variations in the thickness of cervical spine endplates as measured by computed tomography.
To determine regional variations in the thickness of human cervical spine endplates with high spatial resolution. ⋯ Fully automatic assessment of endplate thickness from CT data is feasible. Central regions of the cervical spine endplates are thinner than peripheral parts of the endplates. This distribution is more pronounced in superior than in inferior endplates.
