Article Abstract

The introduction of real-time imaging by magnetic resonance guided linear accelerators (MR-Linacs) enabled adaptive treatments and gating on the tumor position. Different end-to-end tests monitored the accuracy of our MR-Linac during the first year of clinical operation. We report on the stability of these tests covering a static, adaptive and gating workflow. Film measurements showed gamma passing rates of 96.4% ± 3.4% for the static tests (five measurements) and for the two adaptive tests 98.9% and 99.99%, respectively (criterion 2%/2mm). The gated point dose measurements in the breathing phantom were 2.7% lower than in the static phantom.

Background: Intensive language-action therapy treats language deficits and depressive symptoms in chronic poststroke aphasia, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain underexplored. Long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs) in blood oxygenation level-dependent signals indicate persistence in brain activity patterns and may relate to learning and levels of depression. This observational study investigates blood oxygenation level-dependent LRTC changes alongside therapy-induced language and mood improvements in perisylvian and domain-general brain areas.

Unlabelled: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a severe complication of solid malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma, characterized by poor prognosis and diagnostic challenges. This study assesses whether curvilinear peri-brainstem hyperintense signals on MRI are a characteristic feature of LM in lung adenocarcinoma patients.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from multiple centers, encompassing lung adenocarcinoma patients with peri-brainstem curvilinear hyperintense signals on MRI between January 2016 and March 2022.

Parasagittal dural space and arachnoid granulations morphology in pre-clinical and early clinical multiple sclerosis.

Mult Scler

September 2025

Neuroimaging Unit, Neuroimmunology Division, Department of Neurology, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA; Department of Neurology, VA Medical Center, TN Valley Healthcare System, Nashville, TN, USA.

Background: There is limited knowledge on the post-glymphatic structures such as the parasagittal dural (PSD) space and the arachnoid granulations (AGs) in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Objectives: To evaluate differences in volume and macromolecular content of PSD and AG between people with newly diagnosed MS (pwMS), clinically isolated syndrome (pwCIS), or radiologically isolated syndrome (pwRIS) and healthy controls (HCs) and their associations with clinical and radiological disease measures.

Methods: A total of 69 pwMS, pwCIS, pwRIS, and HCs underwent a 3.

Perinatal Arterial Ischemic Stroke in Monochorionic Twins: A Retrospective Observational Single-Center Cohort Study.

Stroke

September 2025

Division of Neonatology, Department of Pediatrics, Willem-Alexander Children's Hospital, Leiden University Medical Center, the Netherlands. (B.O.v.O., M.R., M.S.S., E.L., L.S.d.V., S.J.S.).

Background: Monochorionic twins, characterized by placental sharing and vascular anastomoses, carry a high risk of brain injury, including perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAIS). However, the pathophysiology and timing-related risk factors of PAIS remain unclear.

Methods: Retrospective cohort of all monochorionic twins with neuroimaging-confirmed PAIS born from 2005 to 2024 and evaluated at a Dutch national referral center.
