Researchers in Boston are set to co-lead a long-term study on the aging brain and factors that make individuals more vulnerable to neural injury and cognitive decline.
The team’s work will emphasize the role of specialized MRI techniques capable of detecting subtle changes around tumors with the help of pH-based imaging.
Using a virtual reality headset, the system, dubbed AR-VIU (augmented real-time volumetric imaging in ultrasound), creates a 3D rendering of anatomy based on 2D ultrasound images.
In some cases, researchers noted, CABG may be a better treatment option. The group emphasized that alternative therapies are still needed to improve patient care.
No medications are currently approved for the treatment of nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Could a new drug from Imbria Pharmaceuticals be the first?
Imagers can now identify vulnerable plaques that were once very challenging to find. The next steps include improving the screening process and determining which lesions need to be treated right away.
TAVR may get more attention, but the Ross procedure has also gained significant momentum in recent years. Ismail El-Hamamsy, MD, PhD, detailed his own team's success with the complex procedure.
