DOI: 10.1007/s10840-019-00586-z
Abstract: Two decades ago, a landmark paper identified the pulmonary veins (PVs) as the most frequent trigger source for atrial fibrillation (AF) [1]. Subsequently, pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) emerged as a cornerstone of catheter ablation for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/14737175.2017.1375405
Abstract: ABSTRACT Introduction: Initial diagnostics and follow-up of gliomas is usually based on contrast-enhanced MRI. However, the capacity of standard MRI to differentiate neoplastic tissue from posttherapeutic effects such as pseudoprogression is limited. Advanced neuroimaging methods… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000006091
Abstract: Rationale: The ischemic penumbra assessment is essential for the subsequent therapy and prediction of evolution in patients with acute ischemic infraction. Although controversial as a perfect equivalence to penumbra, perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI)-diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) mismatch… read more here.

DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v10.i18.6021
Abstract: BACKGROUND Lesions of breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) 4 at mammography vary from benign to malignant, leading to difficulties for clinicians to distinguish between them. The specificity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in… read more here.
