To evaluate the dose to irradiated organs in a recently introduced angioCT procedure for the imaging of the cochlear implants and the middle ear, both with direct measurements and with software calculations.

Commissural embryology mechanisms are not yet completely understood. The study and comprehension of callosal dysgenesis can provide remarkable insights into embryonic or fetal commissural development. The diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technique allows the in vivo analyses of the white-matter microstructure and is a valid tool to clarify the distur...

Axonal injury is a major contributor to adverse outcomes following brain trauma. However, the extent of axonal injury cannot currently be assessed reliably in living humans. Here, we used two experimental methods with distinct noise sources and limitations in the same cohort of 15 patients with severe traumatic brain injury to assess axonal injury....

Traumatic axonal injury (TAI) is a major contributor to adverse outcomes following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a magnetic resonance imaging technique, which provides a robust measure of white matter integrity in patients with TBI. Certain brain regions have been identified as particularly susceptible to TAI by me...

Introduzione: Il Disturbo Bipolare (BD) e' un disturbo cronico dell'umore con prevalenza stimata all'1.5-3% nella popolazione generale. I pazienti affetti possono presentare una disfunzione socio-lavorativo residuale anche durante le fasi di eutimia. In alcuni studi si evidenzia una alterazione di FA media nel fascicolo uncinato e nella radiazione...
