Phlebographic techniques are also possible by WJR www. A: The cortical and subcortical lesionis best seen on the coronal FLAIR; B-D: Additional functional magnetic resonance imaging with language paradigms showed the tumor to be well demarcated from the Broca and Wernicke areas; E-H: Additional DTI shows the location of the long cortico-spinal tracts: the pyramidal tract is displayed in relation to the frontal cortical activation obtained with a motor paradigm.

On conventional T1-weighted magnetic resonance MR with contrast multiple cortical nodules are seen A on diffusion the lesions are slightly hyperintense, corresponding to high cellularity B, C along with a reduced anisotropy D. It can be done on any kind of clinical MR imager, which operates at 1. The tasks or paradigms that are tested can When planning and intervention, there are multiple test any system in the nervous system. However it is in- complex questions that need to be answered: what is the dispensable that the patient understands and can cooper- type of the lesion, where is it located, what structures are ated with the examination: for example a patient with de- nearby and how is the hemodynamic profile of the le- creased consciousness is not going to be examinable and sion and the surrounding structures.

These questions can an aphasic patient will not be able to undergo language be addressed both by CT and MR techniques. Preferably paradigms a well as a patient with a hemiparesis will not this will be done with MRI especially in a non-emergent really be examinable by motor tasks on the affected side. Clinically this will be applied of multiple imaging planes.

Thus very often it techniques wherein the concentration of metabolites is performed at least afterwards but more importantly can be measured and or imaged.

It is mostly done for before and after procedures. Authors have established follow-up of brain tumors[52] or in order to elucidate that a number of events occur even during cerebral angi- unclear cerebral processes that cannot be classified visu- ography Figure 5. In cases where for example stenting ally.

Traditionally it is one by selecting one voxel in the is performed, DWI before and after can assess the pres- brain at a time. In order to obtain a representative vision ence or absence of new lesions and determine safety of of metabolites in the brain it may require the acquisition the procedure. A spinal vious that diagnostic techniques would have to follow.

MR technology spinal artery that is also shown by was perhaps the first to benefit from these advances due spinal DSA B. CT while hav- ing increased drastically in quality and power still has the major drawback of potential major radiation exposure to the patient population; this is why, while it may be neces- sary for the initial examination due to its better lumino- graphic capacities, in patients where follow-up is neces- sary MRI is going to be performed.

Magnetic Resonance techniques however will also allow obtaining a much bet- to be avoided or at least reserved for cases where an ter image characterization. This has been further been intervention is foreseen; this is evident due to the inher- improved with higher fields even if this is not without ent sensitivity of the spinal vessels to any manipulation drawbacks due to a higher occurrence of artifacts due to that could occlude them.

In that sense it is obvious that the higher magnetic field[55]. This has become KO. Use of stentrievers in acute stroke: tips, tricks, and cur- rent results. Diagnostic neuroradiology: vous system will need to not just use these techniques Ready for the neuro-interventional age?
