Why is soccer ball heading more risky for women?
By Wayne Forrest
The authors of a new editorial in Radiology speculate on why soccer ball heading causes more brain changes on MRI scans in women than men. The team from Norway speculates that because both sexes play with the same standard-sized ball, heading has a relatively greater effect on women.

Is fluoroscopy or CT guidance best for spinal injections?
By Abraham Kim
CT guidance allowed interventional radiologists to perform spinal injections just as effectively as they did using traditional fluoroscopy but with much lower personal radiation exposure, according to an article published online January 8 in Radiology. The cost? Increased radiation exposure to patients.

Alzheimer's biomarkers could affect races differently
By Wayne Forrest
Using MRI and PET scans and cerebrospinal fluid assays, researchers have collected data on a variety of key biomarkers that might explain whether Alzheimer's disease develops differently in Caucasians and African-Americans. So far, the preliminary findings are creating more questions than answers in a study published online January 7 in JAMA Neurology.

Start-up BURL develops ultrasound-based 'ECG for stroke'
By Brian Casey
SAN FRANCISCO - A California start-up is developing an ultrasound-based device that it hopes could become a low-cost way to test patients for stroke, much in the same way electrocardiograms (ECGs) assess heart-attack patients. Executives with BURL Concepts presented the idea at this week's Digital Medicine & Medtech (DigiMed) Showcase.
