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.

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.
FDA clears AI solution for identifying large vessel occlusions on CTA
If left untreated, LVOs can cause ischemic strokes. The algorithm has the potential to significantly reduce time to treatment in these emergency scenarios.

Experts identify 'critical window' when early signs of neurodegeneration become visible on imaging

These findings may lead to new screening guidelines that could change how imaging is utilized in the aging population.

AI is revolutionizing radiology workflow and patient care

Sponsored by Viz.ai

In the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) is making significant strides in improving radiology workflow and patient care coordination. Nicholas Galante, MD, medical director of informatics at Radiology Associates of North Texas, recently discussed how technology from Viz.ai is transforming his radiology practice, enhancing efficiency, and ultimately benefiting patient outcomes.

ALS drug repurposed for PET imaging

Researchers radiolabeled the drug so that they could follow its movement and breakdown in the body to help visualize areas of oxidative stress.

How TikTok 'brain rot' impacts brain structure and function

While social media addiction has been known since the emergence of Facebook, many believe that TikTok took digital dependence to another level.

Ultrasound 'microjets' enable targeted treatment of neurological conditions

It can be difficult to deliver targeted therapy to the brain due to its protective barrier, which only allows certain nutrients and oxygen to pass through.

White matter hyperintensities might not be a marker of TBI after all

New findings are calling into question the notion that white matter hyperintensities are biomarkers of brain injuries.

MRI study suggests an optimal time of day for evaluating glymphatic function

Inaccurate interpretations of glymphatic function could lead to incorrect diagnoses, researchers caution.

alzheimer's disease dementia brain imaging

Frontotemporal dementia often misdiagnosed due to misinterpretations of imaging

The reasons for misdiagnoses are wide-ranging, but interpretations of patients’ brain imaging may play a prominent role.
