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.

Combining PET and MRI data may be key to differentiating new type of dementia
Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy, also known as LATE, was recently recognized as a type of dementia that occurs in older adults. It typically presents as memory-related cognitive decline.
How second pregnancies change the brain
New imaging findings detail how women’s brains change during their second pregnancy, revealing the unique alterations in networks related to attention and response.
Scientists discover link between Alzheimer's and long COVID on MRI scans
Imaging findings pertaining to the size of and blood flowing to the choroid plexus may be a common denominator between the two conditions.
New AI foundation model offers wide adaptability across neuroradiology
Unlike most AI tools that were built for specific applications like identifying stroke, the foundation model can be used for a wide array of tasks, as it can learn from other AI frameworks.
AI accurately reads brain MRIs in seconds
The tool can identify over 50 different neurological conditions with nearly 98% accuracy.

How the 2022 contrast media shortage impacted stroke care

A team of specialists tracked CT utilization before, during and after the 2022 shortage, sharing its findings in the American Journal of Neuroradiology.

Radiologist accuracy takes a hit overnight, especially with advanced imaging exams

Serious discrepancies between preliminary imaging reads and final radiology reports are at risk of accumulating when the prelims are rendered during overnight hours.

Tau PET the best tool to predict rate of cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s

Given the approach’s “superior prognostic value,” experts urged for the incorporation of tau PET into routine clinical evaluation in memory care clinics.

Experts argue for the use of MRI in all first-episode psychosis patients

A new meta-analysis revealed that up to 26% of FEP patients display intracranial radiological abnormalities on MRI, some of which can alter clinical management.

Poverty can change the wiring of a child's brain, MRI study suggests

New research out of the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis is offering new insight into how childhood struggles can affect brain development and connectivity.

molecular imaging study on brain connections in obese individuals

Obesity linked to altered brain connectivity on PET/MRI exams

New research, presented at SNMMI 2023, details how the brains of obese individuals differ from those who maintain a healthy weight.

Folate-based radiopharmaceuticals could improve detection of gliomas

According to new research, gliomas—a deadly group of brain tumors that are difficult to treat—have increased folate receptor expression, meaning they also show increased uptake of folate-based radiopharmaceuticals on PET imaging.

New MRI technique offers detailed view of COVID's impact on the brain

The new technique mixes MRI signals at different gradient pulse strengths and timings, offering better visualization of differences in the way water molecules move through tissues.
