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.

Iron load on imaging could signal impending cognitive decline in asymptomatic patients
Using an advanced MRI technique, experts were able to measure tissue susceptibility and detect subtle variances in iron levels throughout different regions of the brain associated with memory.
Radiologist to lead new research on blast injuries in service members
The study, which will be funded by a $2.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense, will harness the power of advanced MRI technology to visualize the brain in a way that has not previously been possible.
AI software triples number of stroke patients who achieve functional independence
This week, health officials in the United Kingdom shared how an artificial intelligence-enabled platform has drastically improved stroke outcomes in the region.
NIH grants to fund study of molecular imaging in stroke care
NIH is hopeful the research will enable doctors to detect signs of stroke damage earlier, opening the door for them to initiate treatments in a timelier manner.
