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.
Radiologists call on AMA to push for new federal IT interoperability standards
Dana Smetherman, MD, CEO of the ACR, explains a resolution adopted at the American Medical Association House of Delegates meeting calling for new health IT standards.
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.

'Pandemic brain': PET/MRI images reveal how COVID's impact is felt by non-infected individuals

A new analysis in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity shows that no one is immune to the effects of the ongoing pandemic.

Deep learning model triages brain MRIs for abnormalities to prioritize reads

The deep learning model was trained to recognize abnormalities in real-time, reducing delays in image interpretation for clinically relevant findings.

Automated CT scoring system accurately predicts prognosis in stroke patients

The study used non-contrast CT and CT perfusion imaging to analyze agreement between an automated reader and human radiologists with differing experience levels.

New advanced PET imaging reveals root of cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer's

The scans unearthed a significant association between synaptic density and decreased cognitive performance, Yale researchers revealed recently.

Findings potentially linked to autism spotted on routine prenatal ultrasound, research shows

Ultrasounds of fetuses who later developed ASD displayed three times more anatomical anomalies than the general population control group, according to research in Brain.

'Highly significant' MRI findings link hyperthyroidism to structural brain abnormalities

“For decades, the patients in our group have testified that they don’t feel they’ve recovered, and we hope our study will provide further clues about what happens in the brain,” experts involved in the study said.

AI system to help neuroradiologists detect brain aneurysms has ‘major’ potential for clinical practice

Cerebral Doc's ability to automatically measure aneurysm diameter can clearly help reduce workloads for busy radiology departments, researchers said in a new study.

Radiologists must change their approach to stroke care in the AI era

“Radiologists have an opportunity to situate themselves at the center of patient care, but it will require transforming the operational framework and rebranding ourselves," experts suggested in a new editorial.
