Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in the detection of white matter lesions in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
Dimitra, S.; Verganelakis, D. A.; Gotsis, E.; Toulas, P.; Papatriantafillou, J.; Karageorgiou, C.; Thomaides, T.; Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Hadjigeorgiou, G.; Papadimitriou, A. (2013)Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is recognized as a precursor to dementia. The amnestic MCI progresses usually to Alzheimer disease. Amnestic MCI multiple domain (md-MCI) seems to progress more rapidly than amnestic MCI ... -

Genetic basis of Parkinson disease
Xiromerisiou, G.; Dardiotis, E.; Tsimourtou, V.; Kountra, P. M.; Paterakis, K. N.; Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Fountas, K. N.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M. (2010)Over the past few years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms of Parkinson disease (PD). Mutations in certain genes are found to cause monogenic forms of the disorder, with autosomal ... -
Historic Evolution of Open Cingulectomy and Stereotactic Cingulotomy in the Management of Medically Intractable Psychiatric Disorders, Pain and Drug Addiction
Brotis, A. G.; Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Paterakis, K.; Smith, J. R.; Fountas, K. N. (2009)Stereotactic cingulotomy constitutes a psychosurgical procedure nowadays advocated in the treatment of medically intractable obsessive-compulsive disorder, chronic pain and drug addiction. From its theoretical conception ... -
Noninvasive histologic grading of solid astrocytomas using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Fountas, K. N.; Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Vogel, R. L.; Fezoulidis, I.; Robinson, J. S.; Gotsis, E. D. (2004)Background: Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) constitutes a promising modality to assess intracranial pathology. We present our experience using this method in grading solid brain astrocytomas. Material and ... -
PREOPERATIVE AND POSTOPERATIVE EVALUATION OF WHITE MATTER TRACTS IN PATIENTS WITH REFRACTORY TEMPORAL LOBE EPILEPSY
Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Protogerou, G.; Tsougos, I.; Kapsalakis, I. Z.; Giannakodimos, S.; Fountas, K. N. (2010) -
The role of 3 Tesla MRA in the detection of intracranial aneurysms
Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Rountas, C. D.; Fountas, K. N. (2012)Intracranial aneurysms constitute a common pathological entity, affecting approximately 1-8 of the general population. Their early detection is essential for their prompt treatment. Digital subtraction angiography is ... -
Role of endoscopic third ventriculostomy in treatment of selected patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus
Fountas, K. N.; Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Paterakis, K. N.; Lee, G. P.; Hadjigeorgiou, G. M. (2012)Objective: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the results of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) in the management of patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (INPH). Methods: Our prospective study ... -
The role of intraoperative micro-Doppler ultrasound in verifying proper clip placement in intracranial aneurysm surgery
Siasios, I.; Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Fountas, K. N. (2012)Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage constitutes a clinical entity associated with high mortality and morbidity. It is widely accepted that improper clip placement may have as a result of incomplete aneurysm occlusion and/or ... -
The role of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the diagnosis and categorization of cerebral abscesses
Kapsalaki, E. Z.; Gotsis, E. D.; Fountas, K. N. (2008)Despite recent advances in neuroimaging, differentiation between cerebral abscesses and necrotic tumors with ring-type contrast enhancement can be puzzling at times. The introduction of advanced imaging techniques, such ... -
