3D phase contrast MRI: Partial volume correction for robust blood flow quantification in small intracranial vessels

Mohamed Farhat, Pierre Bouillot

Purpose: Recent advances in 3D-PCMRI (phase contrast MRI) sequences allow for measuring the complex hemodynamics in cerebral arteries. However, the small size of these vessels vs spatial resolution can lead to non-negligible partial volume artifacts, which ...

Redox dysregulation as a link between childhood trauma and psychopathological and neurocognitive profile in patients with early psychosis

Alessandra Griffa, Patric Hagmann, Kim Do

Exposure to childhood trauma (CT) increases the risk for psychosis and affects the development of brain structures, possibly through oxidative stress. As oxidative stress is also linked to psychosis, it may interact with CT, leading to a more severe clinic ...
