Neuroimaging

Neuroradiology is a branch of medical imaging focused on spotting abnormalities of the central and peripheral nervous system, spine, head and neck. These highly trained doctors use CT, MRI, X-ray and other techniques to diagnose strokes, tumors, aneurysms and other neurological conditions.

New PET study offers insight into how dopamine drives executive function
These findings could help guide the development of new treatments for psychiatric and neurological disorders.
Experts identify 'critical window' when early signs of neurodegeneration become visible on imaging
These findings may lead to new screening guidelines that could change how imaging is utilized in the aging population.
ALS drug repurposed for PET imaging
Researchers radiolabeled the drug so that they could follow its movement and breakdown in the body to help visualize areas of oxidative stress.
How TikTok 'brain rot' impacts brain structure and function
While social media addiction has been known since the emergence of Facebook, many believe that TikTok took digital dependence to another level.
Ultrasound 'microjets' enable targeted treatment of neurological conditions
It can be difficult to deliver targeted therapy to the brain due to its protective barrier, which only allows certain nutrients and oxygen to pass through.

Researchers track dopamine receptors to study its impact on cognitive function.

White matter hyperintensities might not be a marker of TBI after all

New findings are calling into question the notion that white matter hyperintensities are biomarkers of brain injuries.

MRI study suggests an optimal time of day for evaluating glymphatic function

Inaccurate interpretations of glymphatic function could lead to incorrect diagnoses, researchers caution.

alzheimer's disease dementia brain imaging

Frontotemporal dementia often misdiagnosed due to misinterpretations of imaging

The reasons for misdiagnoses are wide-ranging, but interpretations of patients’ brain imaging may play a prominent role.
