Article Abstract
CT head has been increasingly performed in the Emergency Department for patients presented with trauma, acute neurological or psychological symptoms. Most of the emergency physicians and radiologists have undergone dedicated training and are capable of identifying and interpreting life-threatening cerebral pathologies. However, as most attention is directed to the brain, the extracerebral non-traumatic pathologies on CT head can easily be overlooked, and some of them harbour clinically significant pathologies. We categorise the extracerebral anatomic landmarks, illustrate and describe the representative pathologies from each category. The purpose of this article is to increase awareness and familiarity on the non-traumatic extracerebral pathologies, with the aim of achieving comprehensive interpretation of CT head.

Objective: This study aimed to develop an advanced method for preoperative planning and surgical guidance using open-source artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted rapid 3D color multimodal image fusion (MIF) and augmented reality (AR) in extracerebral tumor surgical procedures.
Methods: In this prospective trial of 130 patients with extracerebral tumors, the authors implemented a novel workflow combining FastSurfer (AI-based brain parcellation), Raidionics-Slicer (deep learning tumor segmentation), and Sina AR projection. Comparative analysis between AI-assisted 3D-color MIF (group A) and manual-3D-monochrome MIF (group B) was conducted, evaluating surgical parameters (operative time, blood loss, resection completeness), clinical outcomes (complications, hospital stay, modified Rankin Scale [mRS] scores), and technical performance metrics (processing time, Dice similarity coefficient [DSC], 95% Hausdorff distance [HD]).

Diffuse glioneuronal tumor with oligodendroglioma-like features and nuclear clusters (DGONC) is a newly recognized provisional entity in the fifth edition of the WHO Classification of Central Nervous System Tumors, typically found in pediatric patients with supratentorial disease. We describe a male in his forties who presented with recurrent seizures and was found to have a heavily calcified lesion in the left temporal lobe and an additional lesion in the sacral region of the thecal sac; tissue biopsy of the sacral lesion demonstrated an oligodendroglioma-like morphology, strong synaptophysin and OLIG2 expression, and absent widespread GFAP staining, consistent with DGONC. This represents an unusual occurrence of DGONC outside the supratentorial region, with imaging findings that mimicked a chronic inflammatory process.

Intracerebral blood volume changes along the cardiac cycle cause volumetric strain in brain tissue, measurable with displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) magnetic resonance imaging. Individual volumetric strain maps show compressing and expanding voxels, raising the question whether systolic compressions reflect a physiological phenomenon. In DENSE data from nine healthy volunteers, voxels were grouped into three clusters according to volumetric strain in a tissue mask excluding extracerebral blood vessels and cerebrospinal fluid using a two-stage clustering approach.

The optical brain imaging method functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a promising tool for real-time applications such as neurofeedback and brain-computer interfaces. Its combination of spatial specificity and mobility makes it particularly attractive for clinical use, both at the bedside and in patients' homes. Despite these advantages, optimizing fNIRS for real-time use requires careful attention to two key aspects: ensuring good spatial specificity and maintaining high signal quality.

Extracerebral tumors often occur on the surface of the brain or at the skull base. It is important to identify the peritumoral sulci, gyri, and nerve fibers. Preoperative visualization of three-dimensional (3D) multimodal fusion imaging (MFI) is crucial for surgery.
