Adjunctive Brain Volume Quantification Tool for MRI Gets FDA Clearance
November 14th 2023Providing automated brain volume calculations based on MRI images, NeuroShield’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered technology may help facilitate treatment for neurodegenerative conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s disease to epilepsy.
Study Says MRI Offers Most Cost-Effective Imaging for Dizziness Presentations in the ER
November 10th 2023Noting that initial imaging sensitivity is a key factor in cost-effectiveness for patients who do not require acute treatment for dizziness, researchers found that specialized MRI (including multiplanar high-resolution DWI) provided the most benefit in a comparative trial of neuroimaging modalities.
Study Links PTSD to Higher Carotid Atherosclerosis and White Matter Hyperintensity in Midlife Women
November 6th 2023Ultrasound and MRI findings from a new study suggest that greater carotid atherosclerosis and elevated white matter hyperintensities among women with the APOEe4 genotype, a strong risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, are associated with increased PTSD symptoms in midlife women.
Meta-Analysis of 83 MRI Studies Suggests Link Between Adversity Exposure and Mental Health Issues
November 3rd 2023In their review of functional MRI data from over 5,200 study participants, researchers noted that higher amygdala reactivity and lower prefrontal cortical reactivity were associated with adversity exposure, findings that may contribute to exaggerated threat detection and reduced emotional control.
Current and Emerging Perspectives on Contrast Media in Radiology
November 1st 2023In a recent video interview series, Dushyant Sahani, M.D., discussed the critical role of contrast media in diagnostic imaging, lessons learned from the contrast media shortage, key considerations with generic agents and currently unmet needs with contrast agents.
