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.
New data question short-term efficacy of anti-amyloid drug
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.
MRI findings could hint at early development of CTE
Currently, chronic traumatic encephalopathy can only be diagnosed post-mortem via brain tissue assessment during an autopsy.

Incomplete neurovascular imaging work-ups to blame for subsequent stroke in patients with TIA

Up to 37% of patients presenting with transient ischemic attack do not receive a full neurovascular imaging work-up, according to new data published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

AI tool helps identify 'invisible' head injuries on MRIs of college athletes

The tool uses a machine learning technique to identify changes on brain MRIs that would otherwise be overlooked by radiologists due to the subtlety of alterations.

Physical activity is linked to smaller brain bleeds, new CT data reveal

The research, published in Stroke and Vascular Neurology, suggests that just four hours of physical activity per week can reduce the significance of a brain bleed.

Radioactive substances unnecessary in new method for measuring brain glucose metabolism

Rather than administering radiolabeled glucose for exams, imagers give patients a small amount of a harmless glucose solution that is said to be equivalent to a can of a carbonated drink.

MRI and PET findings could guide treatment of lingering concussion symptoms

Abnormalities of the thalamus could be to blame for persistent symptoms in the months following a concussion, according to new research.

Industry first: FDA clears device for detecting stroke on noncontrast CT

RapidAI said it aims to give smaller facilities access to tools often only available at comprehensive stroke centers.

COVID long-haulers with loss of smell display brain connectivity impairments on MRI

Experts recently identified alterations in regions of the brain that process smell in COVID long-haulers.

brain connections that cause epileptic seizures

Experts use MRI to identify brain pathways responsible for epileptic seizures

Patients who have these pathways disconnected record marked seizure-free periods of time in the long-term, according to new research.
