Brain gray matter MRI morphometry for neuroprognostication after cardiac arrest

peer reviewed ; Objectives: We hypothesize that the combined use of MRI cortical thickness measurement and subcortical gray matter volumetry could provide an early and accurate in vivo assessment of the structural impact of cardiac arrest and therefore could be used for long-term neuroprognostication in this setting. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Five Intensive Critical Care Units affiliated to the University in Toulouse (France), Paris (France), Clermont-Ferrand (France), Liège (Belgium), and Monza (Italy). Patients: High-resolution anatomical T1-weighted images were acquired in... Mehr ...
