The health of Canadians is already impacted by climate change due to wildfire smoke, heat domes, floods, droughts, and the changing distribution vector borne disease. healthcare sector contributes change, accounting for approximately 4.6% annual greenhouse gas emissions in Canada. Healthcare teams have a responsibility opportunity reduce harm limiting waste, engaging public understanding planetary links between clean air water, stable climate, healthy planet human health. Transformation...
The neuroimaging research community-which includes a broad range of scientific, medical, statistical, and engineering disciplines-has developed many tools to advance our knowledge brain structure, function, development, aging, disease. Past efforts have clearly shaped clinical practice. However, translation new methodologies into practice is challenging. Anything that can reduce these barriers has the potential improve rate at which outcomes contribute In this article, we introduce Karawun,...
Surgical management of drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in patients with multiple periventricular nodular heterotopias (PVNHs) is challenging. Identifying the location seizure onset within these complex epileptic networks difficult, and open resection carries risks injury to surrounding functional white matter tracts such as optic radiations (ORs). The authors demonstrate tractography-assisted laser ablation a single nodule patient DRE PVNHs. Following surgery, visual fields were intact,...
White matter alterations are increasingly implicated in neurological diseases and their progression. International-scale studies use diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) to qualitatively identify changes white microstructure connectivity. Yet, quantitative analysis of DW-MRI data is hindered by inconsistencies stemming from varying acquisition protocols. There a pressing need harmonize the preprocessing datasets ensure derivation robust diffusion metrics across...
BACKGROUND Microsurgical resection of drug-resistant epilepsy–associated perirolandic lesions can lead to postoperative motor impairment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) has emerged as a less invasive alternative, offering reduced surgical risks and improved neurological outcomes. Electrophysiological tools routinely used for mapping in resective microsurgery are incompatible with intraoperative MRI. The utilization advanced neuroimaging...
Implementing competency-based medical education in diagnostic radiology residencies will change the paradigm of learning and assessment for residents. The objective this study is to evaluate student perceptions programs how may affect their decision pursue a career radiology.First-, second-, third-year students at Canadian university were invited complete 14-question survey containing mix multiple choice, yes/no, Likert scale, open-ended questions. This aimed collect information on students'...
Background and Objectives: Recent studies have used automated perfusion imaging software to identify adults most likely benefit from reperfusion therapies in extended time windows. The course of penumbral evolution childhood arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) is poorly characterised. We investigated the utility AIS explored relationship between perfusion-diffusion mismatch. Methods: Convenience population children with acute AIS, presenting Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne 2005-2014, where...
The preprocessing of dMRI data sets is a critical step in the experimental workflow that, general, improves reliability. We provide comprehensive survey workflows for within our research community, assessing their variability and quantifying its impact on metric reproducibility inter-site comparisons. observed that lack standardized pipeline across researchers significant source might lower studies. These preliminary results highlight need harmonization image to promote more robust...
Background: Craniotomies are commonly performed neurosurgical procedures. Quantitating cerebral surface strain may facilitate the identification of intracerebral pathology and improve intraoperative management underperfused brain tissue. Objective: The aim this study was to test use digital image correlation software quantify tissue during craniotomies. Methods: Ncorr, an open-source program, used perform analysis from publicly available craniotomy videos. Mann-Whitney U tests were then...
Abstract Background Understanding typically developing infant brain structure is crucial in investigating neurological disorders of early childhood. Brain atlases providing standardised identification neonatal regions are key such investigations. Our previously developed Melbourne Children’s Regional Infant (M-CRIB) and M-CRIB 2.0 provide parcellation 100 94 respectively, including cortical, subcortical, cerebellar regions. The aim this study was to extend the atlas coverage include 54 white...
Abstract Background To determine if an inherent perception skill along with sonographer experience, knowledge base, scanning time play a role in the identification of normal appendix pediatric population. This is retrospective review (< 18 years old) patients clinical suspicion acute appendicitis presenting to emergency department two affiliated academic tertiary care hospitals over 1-year span. All had sonogram performed by 1/15 sonographers or 1/8 on-call radiology residents. Those...
Objectives: To investigate correlations between infarct topography on acute diffusion weighted MRI, using voxel-based lesion-symptom mapping (VLSM), and later development of cerebral palsy (CP) neurological impairments, in neonatal arterial ischaemic stroke (AIS). Methods: Newborns were recruited from prospective Australian Swiss pediatric registries. CP diagnosis was based clinical examination. Language or cognitive-behavioural impairments assessed the Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure...
