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 algorithm is twice as accurate at predicting stroke timing compared to the standard of care
Determining stroke onset is critical for management, as there is a small window of time for initiating treatment that can inhibit damage.
How gaming addiction affects brain activity, according to new MRI data
Over time, the brain's reward system may become less responsive to standard rewards in individuals with gaming addiction.
How opioid use disorder affects brain size and function
The CDC estimates that over 6 million people in the U.S. struggle with OUD, and prior research has indicated that only 20% receive treatment for the disorder.
Radiomics model links brain MRI features with neuropsychological changes in Crohn's disease
Researchers hope their findings can help pave the way for more targeted therapies for individuals with Crohn's disease.
Some soccer players are at risk of brain damage similar to CTE
American football isn’t the only contact sport that has medical experts concerned with the brain health of athletes. New evidence suggests certain soccer players may be at heightened risk of long-term brain abnormalities, too.

UK researchers publish large Alzheimer’s dataset

A study investigating the differences between healthy brains and those with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has produced a map of more than 24,000 AD-related datapoints, according to authors of the research published Feb. 4 in Communications Biology. They claim it is one of the largest datasets of its kind.
