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 data question short-term efficacy of anti-amyloid drug
Although the drug can slow the progression of cognitive decline, it may have little impact on damage already done by AD prior to treatment.
MRIs uncover the science behind sports fandom
Sports fans may actually be emotionally dependent on their team’s performance on a neural level, according to functional imaging data.
MRIs show how peanut consumption improves the brain's vascular function
Consistently incorporating unsalted peanuts into a person’s diet enhances cerebral blood flow to multiple brain regions.
MRI findings could hint at early development of CTE
Currently, chronic traumatic encephalopathy can only be diagnosed post-mortem via brain tissue assessment during an autopsy.
FDA clears AI solution for identifying large vessel occlusions on CTA
If left untreated, LVOs can cause ischemic strokes. The algorithm has the potential to significantly reduce time to treatment in these emergency scenarios.

Acupuncture improves brain structure in TBI patients

MR imaging shows how acupuncture improves brain structure after TBI

New research suggests acupuncture therapy can improve white matter integrity and help reduce the symptoms associated with severe concussions.

PET imaging findings support use of intranasal drug delivery for Alzheimer's patients

The discovery is giving researchers vital new information that can be used to develop precision treatments for neurological conditions.

New guidance on when to use MRI for pediatric patients experiencing seizures

Determining the source of an unprovoked seizure in young patients who have no prior history can be challenging, and guidelines for doing so are somewhat conflicting.

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.

Dana Smetherman, MD, MPH, MBA, FACR, chief executive officer of the American College of Radiology (ACR), explains a resolution at the American Medical Association (AMA) House of Delegates (HOD) 2025 meeting calling for requirements to add DICOM image interoperability to federal standards.

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.
