MRI Study Suggests Shape of White Matter Hyperintensities May Be Predictive of Cognitive Decline
April 7th 2025Emerging research demonstrated that cognitive declines in memory, executive function and processing speed domains were associated with irregular shape of periventricular/confluent white matter hyperintensities.
New MRI Research Explores Links Between Waist-to-Hip Ratio and Memory in Aging
March 13th 2025Researchers found that a higher waist-to-hip ratio in midlife was associated with higher mean diffusivity in 26 percent of total white matter tracts in the cingulum as well as the superior and inferior longitudinal fasciculus.
Is MRI Contrast Enhancement Necessary for Long-Term Monitoring of Diffuse Glioma?
March 4th 2025In a comparison of contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (CET1w) MRI (and T2-weighted MRI/FLAIR imaging, researchers found that only three out of 82 cases of glioma progression were solely detected with CET1w MRI.
