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.

Chemical alterations in the brain hint at whether loss of smell will return post-COVID

Researchers have identified what they believe could serve as imaging biomarkers that predict recovery from anosmia after contracting the virus.

Dementia cases are about to skyrocket—how will this affect imaging demand?

Recent projections could create an environment of unprecedented demand for nuclear imaging.

Researcher scans herself 75 times to study effects of birth control on brain health

The postdoctoral research fellow hopes her research will provide greater insight into how the use of oral birth control impacts physical and mental health.

Brain changes related to Huntington's evident on imaging decades before symptoms emerge

Experts hope their findings offer valuable insights that one day lead to improved interventions aimed at preserving brain function in patients with Huntington's.

Advanced MRI techniques may provide insight into brain damage stemming from youth sports

The study is part of a bigger effort to understand why some children recover better than others following head injuries.

Basketball players' brains are wired differently, new MRI data suggest

Although some form of neural superiority may not be the driving factor behind an elite athlete’s talent, new evidence shows these individuals have unique structure and connectivity patterns.

Altered brain structure may play a role in eating disorders, MRI data suggest

Experts recently uncovered evidence suggesting behaviors such as undereating, binging and purging could be owed to anatomical alterations in parts of the brain.

Experts update AUC for amyloid, tau PET imaging for first time in more than a decade

The new appropriate use criteria define 17 specific clinical scenarios, guiding providers on situations when amyloid or tau imaging are and are not appropriate.
