The modality can greatly outperform transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy results in detecting positive cases, concluded a new study published in the August issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.July 23, 2019MRIMRI shows adverse effects of U.S. embassy mysterySome called it an attack with a "sonic weapon." Others suggested it was a case of mass hysteria. But what happened to personnel at the U.S. embassy in Havana has mystified medical experts and political pundits. The mystery is only going to deepen with a new study published July 23 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, in which MRI showed structural changes in the brains of affected embassy personnel.July 23, 2019Molecular ImagingPET model tracks beta amyloid, Alzheimer's riskSwedish and Canadian researchers have developed a four-stage model that uses florbetapir-PET scans for tracking beta-amyloid accumulation in adults to gauge their risk of progression to Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published online July 17 in JAMA Neurology.July 18, 2019Molecular ImagingPET shows how women are more susceptible to Alzheimer'sPET images have uncovered consistently greater accumulation of tau protein in the brains of women compared with men, bolstering the current knowledge on how one's sex might affect a progression to dementia, according to a study presented at this week's Alzheimer's Association International Conference.July 17, 2019Molecular ImagingPET, MRI show physical activity aids brain healthPET and MR images show that older adults who are physically active have significantly less beta-amyloid accumulation and gray matter volume loss, which results in more stable cognitive skills, according to a study published online July 16 in JAMA Neurology.July 16, 2019MRIPortable scanner could boost point-of-care brain MRIThe ability to perform a whole-brain MRI scan at the point of care for patients with mobility challenges could soon become a reality with a portable, lightweight device now under development by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA.July 16, 2019MRIMRI, age can predict return from baseball elbow injuryPatient age and findings on MRI can be helpful in determining how soon baseball players might return to action after an elbow injury, according to research presented at the recent American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine annual meeting in Boston.July 15, 2019MRIAuntMinnie.com MRI InsiderJuly 14, 2019Nuclear MedicineVest technology could monitor patient therapy at homePatients undergoing personalized lutetium-177 (Lu-177) DOTATATE therapy for metastatic neuroendocrine tumors may soon be monitored in the comfort of their homes after treatment, thanks to a newly developed vest.July 14, 2019Previous PagePage 22 of 239Next PageTop StoriesMRIRadiomics models based on pituitary MRI predict GHDThe model can help determine if growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is the cause of children's short stature.InterventionalEVT improves outcomes in stroke patients over age 90Practice ManagementMost patients confused when trying to read radiology reportsNuclear MedicineLLMs rapidly evolving in nuclear medicineSponsor ContentJoin Us!
