…been widely applied in combination with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to estimate the volume of brain structures. In the Cavalieri method, the volume V is directly estimated from equidistant and…

…sequences from 100 1.5 Tesla MRI datasets of community-dwelling individuals in their 70s. To differentiate calcified regions from noncalcified iron deposits we developed a method based on their appearance on…

…as controls. Finally, no databank stored results from statistical analyses of its brain image and metadata that may be validated with analyses of further data. Brain image databanks require open…

…metabolic-perfusion mismatch defect. QT dispersion was measured by means of a digitizing tablet with validated software. QT intervals were measured on two separate occasions by two investigators blinded to the…

…We sought to evaluate the effects of introducing an integrated care pathway for acute stroke. Methods: we performed a before-and-after study. The ‘before’ (control) group comprised 154 consecutive stroke patients…

…and quantitative volumetric measurements in healthy older men. METHODS Ninety-seven healthy community-dwelling 65-70-year-old men underwent magnetic resonance imaging scanning. Hippocampal volumes were measured and adjusted for intracranial size. A validated…

Objective To compare the ease of use of atraumatic needles with standard needles for diagnostic lumbar puncture and the incidence of headache after their use. Design Double blind, randomised controlled…
