Patient particulars, subtle clues steer cerebrovascular exam decisions
By Eric Barnes
With cerebrovascular imaging, choosing an exam modality such as CT angiography (CTA), MR angiography (MRA), ultrasound, or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) may hinge on a patient's age, sex, medical history -- or when all else fails, a hunch.

Studies link Alzheimer's to beta-amyloid and potential for new ligand
By Wayne Forrest
Two studies by Australian researchers are shedding light on Alzheimer's disease. The first looked at the cause of the debilitating condition and the connection between the presence of the toxic brain protein beta-amyloid and Alzheimer's. The other study examined the potential of a new biomarker for disease detection, offering the first results from human studies of the F-18 PET ligand for brain beta-amyloid imaging.

First PET/MRI brain images debut at SNM 2007
By Wayne Forrest
Physicians and radiologists may have another hybrid imaging technology to delve deeper into the burgeoning realm of molecular imaging and investigate neurological studies, as well as certain forms of cancer, stroke, and stem cell therapy. Researchers from Germany and the U.S. unveiled the world's first human brain images from a work-in-progress PET/MRI system at the 2007 SNM meeting last week in Washington, DC.

HARM makes good on poststroke MR, exposes blood-brain barrier disruption
By Shalmali Pal
When stroke patients undergo standard FLAIR MR imaging, delayed gadolinium enhancement in the cerebral spinal fluid space -- or what researchers at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke are calling hyperintense acute reperfusion marker (HARM) -- may indicate early blood-brain barrier disruption, reperfusion injury, hemorrhagic transformation, and poor clinical outcome. HARM also could help broaden the therapeutic window for stroke patients.

Diffusion-weighted MRI: The cornerstone of neuroimaging-based stroke studies
By Shalmali Pal
A multitude of new studies published in the journal Stroke examine the increasing validity of MR in stroke imaging. The technique discussed in two papers is the diffusion-perfusion mismatch model with the goal of devising a "simple and practical means" of pinpointing the ischemic penumbra and identifying patients who are more likely to respond to reperfusion therapy. In the third, DWI results are used to create an outcome prediction model.
