SNMMI: Cerebrovascular risk tied to Alzheimer's disease
PHILADELPHIA - A study on amyloid plaque accumulation, white-matter hyperintensity, and cortical thickness has found that a patient's cerebrovascular characteristics should be considered for their potential effect on the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The findings were presented at the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) annual meeting.

7T MRI may release mercury from amalgam dental fillings
MR imaging at 7-tesla magnet strength may release toxic mercury from amalgam dental fillings, according to a new study published online June 26 in the journal Radiology. However, the effect was not found with the lower-strength 1.5-tesla magnets that are more commonly used in the clinical setting, the researchers noted.
