Siemens, BrainLab bring intraoperative CT scanner to the U.S.
By Wayne Forrest
U.S. facilities are about to get their first look at a novel concept in intraoperative CT, thanks to a partnership between image-guided therapy firm BrainLab and Siemens Medical Solutions. The companies have developed an intraoperative CT system that slides into position for use during surgical procedures, eliminating the need to move patients out of the operating suite for additional imaging.

MRI traces multisystem Fabry's disease in the brain, heart, and beyond
By Shalmali Pal
Fabry's disease is an inherited, gender-linked disorder caused by a deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A in the tissues and fluids. Renal, cardiac, and cerebrovascular complications can predispose patients with Fabry's disease to an untimely death in comparison to the general population. In the brain and the heart, MRI can track Fabry's disease patterns, giving physicians important information for therapy control.

Food for thought: Neuroimaging offers clues into eating-related psychopathology
By Shalmali Pal
In honor of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, AuntMinnie.com surveyed the latest research in eating-related imaging using functional MRI (fMRI). The European and U.S. studies examined appetite-related brain activity, the subjective quality of appetite, and cerebral processing of food-related stimuli by gender, as well as hunger and satiety in anorexia patients.

CT spot sign predicts hematoma expansion in stroke patients
By Eric Barnes
In patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), hematoma expansion in the first critical hours after symptom onset is associated with significantly poorer outcomes. Thanks to CT imaging and a new drug in the pipeline, it may be possible to identify and treat ICH patients at risk of hematoma expansion while there is time to improve outcomes, according to two new studies.

ASPECTS stroke scoring improved with perfusion CT
By Eric Barnes
The Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) rates the presence or absence of ischemia in 10 regions of the brain. Paired with noncontrast CT when a patient presents with stroke symptoms, ASPECTS has been shown to effectively predict which patients will benefit from thrombolytic therapy. A recent study using perfusion CT has found that ASPECT increases the accuracy for predicting radiological and clinical outcomes over noncontrast CT.
