Healthcare IT and advanced visualization developer Merge Healthcare and contrast injector technology firm Medrad have announced an expansion in the distribution of CADstream, Merge's dedicated MRI CAD software, into the European market.

The expanded distribution agreement permits sales of CADstream into France in addition to the U.K., Germany, and Italy.

Medrad of Indianola, PA, and Milwaukee-based Merge CAD (formerly Confirma and now a business unit of Merge Healthcare) described the new development as enabling the firms to enter some of the fastest-growing markets for CAD in the European Union.

MRI reveals effects of risk factors on vulnerable brain regions
By Kate Madden Yee
MRI shows the effects particular risk factors such as diabetes, air pollution, and frequency of alcohol use have on "higher-order" brain regions located in the cerebral cortex, researchers have found.
March 27, 2024
To the left of the figure, the red-yellow color denotes the regions that degenerate earlier than the rest of the brain and are vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease. These brain areas are higher-order regions that process and combine information coming from our different senses. To the right of the figure, each dot represents the brain data from one UK Biobank participant. The overall curve shows that, in these particularly fragile regions of the brain, there is accelerated degeneration with age. Image courtesy of Gwenaëlle Douaud, PhD, and Jordi Manuello, PhD.

PET/MRI findings ‘encouraging’ for people with late-life depression
By Will Morton
PET/MRI scans have revealed positive findings for people with late-life depression – namely that they have preserved “synaptic density,” and thus are likely to respond to treatment, according to a group in Belgium.
March 21, 2024
PET/MRI images used in the analysis: Axial (left, through the prefrontal volume-of-interest) and coronal (right, through the hippocampal volume-of-interest) overlay of a partial volume corrected carbon-11 UCB-J PET image (right subparts) registered to the anatomical T1-weighted MRI background for delineation.
