New MRI Study Identifies Signature White Matter Connectivity Patterns in People with Autism
Emerging research has revealed findings on diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) correlational tractography that may help neuroradiologists differentiate between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD). READ MORE
What a New MRI Study Reveals About Brain Aging and Racial Disparities
New magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows earlier brain aging in middle-age Black individuals with researchers suggesting that cumulative exposure to stress over socioeconomic and environmental adversities may be a key contributing factor. READ MORE
Chest CT Study Suggests Marijuana Smokers May Have Higher Emphysema Risk Than Tobacco-Only Smokers
A new computed tomography (CT) study reveals that people who smoke marijuana may have a 70 percent higher risk of developing emphysema than non-smokers, and an age-matched subgroup analysis suggests marijuana use could be associated with a 26 percent higher risk of emphysema in comparison to tobacco-only smoking.

Could Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound with Perfluorobutane Provide a Viable Option for Diagnosing Hepatocellular Carcinoma?
Emerging research showed the combination of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) with perfluorobutane and modified 2017 LI-RADS criteria had comparable sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy to current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) approaches to detecting hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions.
