Advances in neuroimaging: management of partial epileptic syndromes.

abstract：:Hemodynamic parameters play a significant role in the development of cerebral aneurysms. Parameters such as wall shear stress (WSS) or velocity could change in time and may contribute to aneurysm growth and rupture. However, the hemodynamic changes at the rupture location remain unclear because it is difficult to obta...
