Sarcoidosis is an idiopathic inflammatory disease that may affect any organ system and have protean manifestations. Neurosarcoidosis refers to involvement of the central nervous system and may occur in patients with known sarcoidosis, or be the initial manifestation of the disease. In the latter, it can be a source of considerable confusion, given the non-specific imaging appearance. The aim of this review is to describe the imaging spectrum of neurosarcoidosis, including follow-up imaging and superimposed infections, which may occur secondary to immunosuppression. An increased awareness of this great mimicker could potentially expedite diagnosis and reduce morbidity.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 January 2016.
All research outputs
#22,760,732
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Radiology
#1,768
of 2,162 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#252,439
of 294,829 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Radiology
#30
of 45 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,162 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 294,829 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 45 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
