Why are post-TAVR stroke rates higher at comprehensive stroke centers?

One of the more likely reasons is simple: specialty centers have better tools for identifying signs of stroke.

COVID in pregnant women manifests by variant in developing offspring: MRI study

Prenatal MRI is adept at revealing potentially damaging placental lesions affecting fetuses whose mothers were infected with COVID-19 while carrying.

Heart palpitations, chest pain among the long-lasting side effects of COVID-19, new research confirms

“Before we examined the data, I thought we would find an ample amount of the symptoms to be specifically associated with long COVID, but that wasn’t the case," one researcher said.

Obesity and Alzheimer's look similar on brain imaging, cause comparable neurodegeneration

New data suggest that both obesity and Alzheimer's can cause excess grey matter cortical thinning. 

AI helps reading-room radiologists differentiate colon cancer from diverticulitis

The model augmented and significantly improved diagnostic performance for abdominal subspecialists as well as residents—a result researchers say has major clinical implications.

CTA-based radiomics can reliably estimate time since stroke onset

Radiomics features could be especially useful for determining TSS in scenarios where clinical data is lacking or unreliable, such as when patients have altered mental status.
