Neuroimaging

Neuroradiology is a branch of medical imaging focused on spotting abnormalities of the central and peripheral nervous system, spine, head and neck. These highly trained doctors use CT, MRI, X-ray and other techniques to diagnose strokes, tumors, aneurysms and other neurological conditions.

New MRI technique maps 20-plus multiple sclerosis biomarkers in a single noncontrast scan
The technique enables researchers to observe acute inflammation, metabolic alterations, edema, axonal damage and demyelination in the brain without the use of GBCAs.
Certain strokes likely caused by artery widening, not blockages, new MRI data show
Imaging findings could explain why treatments involving aspirin and other antiplatelet drugs are not effective in some stroke patients.
Even low-level drinking is bad for long-term brain health, MRI shows
Alcohol intake, even at levels lower than the recommended ranges, can reduce cortical thickness and perfusion in multiple brain regions.
Imaging AI targeting Parkinson's earns FDA's De Novo classification
The diffusion MRI software helps differentiate between Parkinson’s disease, atypical parkinsonism, multiple system atrophy Parkinsonian variant and progressive supranuclear palsy.
$13M federal grant fuels research into imaging AI for Alzheimer's
In total, NIH has awarded the project over $30 million. Researchers are hopeful that the funding will help pave the way for more personalized treatments for Alzheimer's.

MRI findings suggest parts of the brain reorganize to become 'younger' after a stroke

The finding could signal that the brain has the potential to heal itself in the long-term after a stroke.

'Leaky' blood brain barrier causes long-term damage years after head injuries

MRI findings detail how a 'leaky' barrier can damage the brain years after head injuries

New evidence suggests the BBB can remain compromised following a head injury, even years after it first occurred.

PET scans offer insight into how ketamine affects depression

Thanks to a newly developed radiotracer and PET imaging, experts believe they may have unearthed new insights on the drug's impact.
