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.

Imaging AI targeting Parkinson's earns FDA's De Novo classification
The diffusion MRI software helps differentiate between Parkinson’s disease, atypical parkinsonism, multiple system atrophy Parkinsonian variant and progressive supranuclear palsy.
$13M federal grant fuels research into imaging AI for Alzheimer's
In total, NIH has awarded the project over $30 million. Researchers are hopeful that the funding will help pave the way for more personalized treatments for Alzheimer's.
MRI findings suggest parts of the brain reorganize to become 'younger' after a stroke
The finding could signal that the brain has the potential to heal itself in the long-term after a stroke.
MRI findings detail how a 'leaky' barrier can damage the brain years after head injuries
New evidence suggests the BBB can remain compromised following a head injury, even years after it first occurred.
PET scans offer insight into how ketamine affects depression
Thanks to a newly developed radiotracer and PET imaging, experts believe they may have unearthed new insights on the drug's impact.

6-minute MRI can diagnose multiple sclerosis

6-minute MRI matches lumbar puncture's accuracy in diagnosing multiple sclerosis

The use of MRI and the “rule of 6” could significantly reduce the number of patients requiring lumbar punctures to diagnose the neurological condition.

Working long hours can physically alter the structure of the brain

“The results underscore the importance of addressing overwork as an occupational health concern and highlight the need for workplace policies that mitigate excessive working hours.”

Predictive model cuts back on unnecessary imaging requests for headaches in the ED

Headaches are a common complaint among patients presenting to the emergency department, with millions of cases documented annually in the United States.

MRI data show how sleep apnea damages the brain

Obstructive sleep apnea during the rapid-eye-movement stage of sleep could be causing damage to parts of the brain that control memory and cognition.

MRI biomarkers could signal early onset of Parkinson's.

Experts identify MRI biomarkers that could signal the early onset of Parkinson's

Using one of the most powerful MRI scanners to date, researchers believe they have identified subtle neural changes in the brain that precede Parkinson’s disease.

Imaging helps guide antidepressant medication choices

New research may help providers identify patterns on neuroimaging that could offer clues into how well patients are responding to antidepressant medications.

Imaging shows why music makes us happy

Experts believe their findings could be significant for treating both pain and mental health disorders.

AI tool has 'untapped potential' for diagnosing and managing multiple sclerosis

The tool extracts brain region and white matter lesion volumes from any MRI of the brain, even less specialized sequences not traditionally used in the diagnosis or management of MS.
