Discuss Portable MRI is feasible for ICU neuroimaging
September 8, 2020 -- Use of a portable low-field MRI scanner is feasible for neuroimaging patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), according to a study published September 8 in JAMA Neurology. The research results suggest that there could be a way to make neuroimaging more accessible for critically ill patients.

Discuss CT scan helps solve another Cuban mystery case
September 8, 2020 -- CT helped solve the case of a tourist who developed neurological impairment after a trip to Cuba, according to a September 8 report published in JAMA Neurology. The tourist's symptoms were remarkably similar to those of U.S. and Canadian diplomats who were suspected of being victims of a "sonic weapon" in 2016.

Discuss Nuclear medicine volume plummets due to COVID-19
September 8, 2020 -- It's no secret COVID-19 has disrupted nuclear medicine clinical practice, research, and work environments. However, a new survey by the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging quantifies the effects: nearly 80% of respondents saw declines of 50% to 75% in non-PET nuclear medicine procedures.
