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.

Canon introduces new combined CT-angiography interventional system
Jaimin Chung, director of Canon Medical’s interventional X-ray and vascular business unit, explains the technology behind a new combined CT angiography interventional system aimed at neurology, trauma, stroke and pediatrics that recently received 510(k) FDA clearance.

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.
