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.

Algorithm accurately predicts dementia risk using a single MRI scan
The tool also can be used to predict a person's brain age and risk for a myriad of other chronic conditions as well.
Mayo Clinic develops AI capable of substantially improving dementia diagnoses
With the software's help, readers are up to three times more accurate and interpretations are nearly twice as fast.
Tau tangles on PET scans may signal impending cognitive decline in asymptomatic individuals
New data highlight the significance of tau-positive imaging in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
Signs of Alzheimer's evident on imaging up to 15 years prior to symptom onset in Down syndrome population
By identifying these structural changes prior to the onset of symptomatic neurodegeneration, providers may be able to initiate preventive therapies sooner.
'Promising' new PET agent for brain metastases put on FDA's Fast Track
Clinical trial results thus far have been promising, representing a significant step forward for the hundreds of thousands of patients affected by brain metastases.

Siemens Healthineers deploys its first mobile stroke unit in the US

The new device marks a “significant step forward” in American stroke care, the company contends.

Video of neurologist Lucy He, MD, with the Alaska Stoke Coalition, discussing how they use AI and CT to revolutionize stroke care in the state.

Revolutionizing stroke care in rural Alaska with AI and CT imaging

Lucy He, MD, a neurosurgeon with the Alaska Stroke Coalition, explains how the state created an AI-based alert system to streamline the timely imaging diagnosis and transfer of stroke patients across the largest and most rural U.S. state.

6-minute MRI can diagnose multiple sclerosis

6-minute MRI matches lumbar puncture's accuracy in diagnosing multiple sclerosis

The use of MRI and the “rule of 6” could significantly reduce the number of patients requiring lumbar punctures to diagnose the neurological condition.

Working long hours can physically alter the structure of the brain

“The results underscore the importance of addressing overwork as an occupational health concern and highlight the need for workplace policies that mitigate excessive working hours.”

Predictive model cuts back on unnecessary imaging requests for headaches in the ED

Headaches are a common complaint among patients presenting to the emergency department, with millions of cases documented annually in the United States.

MRI data show how sleep apnea damages the brain

Obstructive sleep apnea during the rapid-eye-movement stage of sleep could be causing damage to parts of the brain that control memory and cognition.

MRI biomarkers could signal early onset of Parkinson's.

Experts identify MRI biomarkers that could signal the early onset of Parkinson's

Using one of the most powerful MRI scanners to date, researchers believe they have identified subtle neural changes in the brain that precede Parkinson’s disease.

Imaging helps guide antidepressant medication choices

New research may help providers identify patterns on neuroimaging that could offer clues into how well patients are responding to antidepressant medications.
