Children are at heightened risk of major clinical depression when at least one parent has a history of the disorder. New research shows depression markers appearing on structural and functional brain MRI ahead of symptoms in these “familial risk” offspring from infancy through early adulthood.

On MRI and PET brain scans, women who were exposed to a small dose of nicotine showed altered activity in the thalamus region of the brain.

These patients are at greatest risk of developing lung metastases within three months of surgery.

Prior studies have focused on radiologist performance rather than patient outcomes, leaving the topic of variable diagnoses and what factors impact them—race, ethnicity, age, biopsy type, etc.—open for debate.
