A case (n = 36) - control (n = 50) study aimed to identify CT findings of supraclavicular brachial plexus injuries to discern who may require further evaluation with MR imaging. The results showed that scalene muscle edema/enlargement and interscalene fat pad effacement were most strongly associated with brachial plexus injury and demonstrated good sensitivity and specificity. These findings are best assessed with a soft-tissue reconstruction kernel; therefore, this should be incorporated as part of the trauma CT cervical spine assessment.

This retrospective study compared the agreement of automated ASPECTS and raters with a different experience level in scoring patients with acute ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion undergoing thrombectomy. The agreement of all raters individually versus the criterion standard and interrater agreement improved with software assistance.
