This process brought together vascular neurologists, neuroradiologists, neuroimaging research scientists, members of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, industry representatives, and members of the US Food and Drug Administration to discuss stroke imaging research priorities, especially in the light of the recent negative results of acute stroke clinical trials that tested the concept of penumbral imaging selection. The goal of this process was to propose a research roadmap for the next 5 years. STIR recommendations include (1) the use of standard terminology, aligned with the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Common Data Elements. ; (2) a standardized imaging assessment of revascularization in acute ischemic stroke trials, including a modified Treatment In Cerebral Ischemia (mTICI) score. ; (3) a standardized process to assess whether ischemic core and penumbral imaging methods meet the requirements to be considered as an acceptable selection tool in acute ischemic stroke trials. ; (4) the characteristics of a clinical and imaging data repository to facilitate the development and testing process described in recommendation no. 3. ; (5) the optimal study design for a clinical trial to evaluate whether advanced imaging adds value in selecting acute ischemic stroke patients for revascularization therapy. ; (6) the structure of a stroke neuroimaging network to implement and coordinate the recommendations listed above. All of these recommendations pertain to research, not to clinical care.]]> Thu 28 May 2020 06:30:04 AEST ]]> The identification of post-lumpectomy seromas by radiation therapists in the management of early stage breast cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:35908 Thu 20 Feb 2020 11:52:22 AEDT ]]> Imaging selection for acute stroke intervention https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47432 Thu 19 Jan 2023 16:19:30 AEDT ]]> Exploring patient-centred preparatory information provision in the digital era: an investigation among MRI and CT medical imaging outpatients https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38864 Thu 14 Mar 2024 09:06:09 AEDT ]]> Reperfusion facilitates reversible disruption of the human blood-brain barrier following acute ischaemic stroke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:36740 hypo-i), non-hypoperfused region of ischaemic hemisphere (rPSnonhypo-i) and their contralateral mirror regions (rPShypo-c and rPSnonhypo-c). The changes of rPS were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures. Logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of unfavourable outcome. Results: Fifty-six patients were included in the analysis, median age was 76 (IQR 62-81) years and 28 (50%) were female. From baseline to 24 h after treatment, rPShypo-i, rPSnonhypo-i and rPShypo-c all decreased significantly. The decreases in rPShypo-i and rPShypo-c were larger in the reperfusion group than non-reperfusion group. The rPShypo-i at follow-up was a predictor for unfavourable outcome (OR 1.131; 95% CI 1.018-1.256; P = 0.022). Conclusion: Early disruption of BBB in AIS is reversible, particularly when greater reperfusion is achieved. Elevated BBBP at 24 h after treatment, not the pretreatment BBBP, predicts unfavourable outcome. Key points: Early disruption of blood-brain barrier (BBB) in stroke is reversible after treatment; The reversibility of BBB permeability is associated with reperfusion; Unfavourable outcome is associated with BBB permeability at 24 h after treatment; Contralateral non-ischaemic hemisphere is not 'normal' during an acute stroke.]]> Thu 02 Jul 2020 16:31:45 AEST ]]> Experience converting an RT department to full CT simulation: technical issues identified during commissioning of a wide-bore scanner https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:8013 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:42:35 AEDT ]]> A comparison of single-photon emission CT lung scintigraphy and CT pulmonary angiography for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:7370 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:40:15 AEDT ]]> Automated and domain knowledge-based brain extraction from CT head scans https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:8186 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:36:15 AEDT ]]> Numerical simulation of Knudsen diffusion in metallic foam https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:12361 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:18:31 AEDT ]]> Analysis of anisotropic behaviour of thermal conductivity in cellular metals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:12390 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:18:02 AEDT ]]> Patterns of CT use and surgical intervention in upper limb periarticular fractures at a level-1 trauma centre https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:19101 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:15 AEDT ]]> Experimental analysis on the thermal anisotropy of syntactic hollow sphere structures https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:19771 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:54:25 AEDT ]]> Time to computed tomography scanning for major trauma patients: the Australian reality https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:23619 3, intubated patients and those with subsequent fatal outcome.
