BACKGROUND: Over the recent decades, the number of different manufacturers and models of cerebrospinal fluid shunt valves constantly increased. Proper identification of shunt valves on X-ray images is crucial to neurosurgeons and radiologists to deri...
OBJECTIVE: Standard MRI protocols lack a quantitative sequence that can be used to evaluate shunt-treated patients with a history of hydrocephalus. The objective of this study was to investigate the use of phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI), a quantitative ...
BACKGROUND: The robot-assisted neurosurgical procedures have recently benefited of the evolution of intraoperative imaging, including mobile CT unit available in the operating room. This facilitated use paved the way to perform more neurosurgical pro...
. Hydrocephalus is the leading indication for pediatric neurosurgical care worldwide. Identification of postinfectious hydrocephalus (PIH) verses non-postinfectious hydrocephalus, as well as the pathogen involved in PIH is crucial for developing an a...
PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess and externally validate the performance of a deep learning (DL) model for the interpretation of non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) scans of patients with suspicion of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Fetal ventriculomegaly (VM) and its severity and associated central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities are important indicators of high risk for impaired neurodevelopmental outcomes. Recently, a novel fetal brain age prediction method using a two-dim...
In large clinical centers a small subset of patients present with hydrocephalus that requires surgical treatment. We aimed to develop a screening tool to detect such cases from the head MRI with performance comparable to neuroradiologists. We leverag...
BACKGROUND: An Ommaya reservoir can be used to treat posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus secondary to intraventricular hemorrhage of prematurity until an acceptable weight can be obtained to place a permanent shunt. Identifying newborns at higher risk of d...
BACKGROUND: No large dataset-derived standard has been established for normal or pathologic human cerebral ventricular and cranial vault volumes. Automated volumetric measurements could be used to assist in diagnosis and follow-up of hydrocephalus or...
