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.

MRI scans show COVID's 'significant' impact on the brain

Even individuals who had recovered from what would be considered a mild case of COVID displayed signs of tissue damage and reductions in gray matter and overall brain size, experts reported in Nature.

A new study offers insight into the prenatal development of children who are eventually diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using ultrasound to identify early anatomical anomalies. 

Findings potentially linked to autism spotted on routine prenatal ultrasound, research shows

Ultrasounds of fetuses who later developed ASD displayed three times more anatomical anomalies than the general population control group, according to research in Brain.

Automated AI-generated measurements combined with annotated CT images can improve treatment planning and help referring physicians and patients better understand their disease, explained Sarah Jane Rinehart, MD, director of cardiac imaging with Charleston Area Medical Center.

Two advanced algorithms—one for CAC scores and another for segmenting cardiac chamber volumes—outperformed radiologists when assessing low-dose chest CT scans. 

"Gen AI can help tackle repetitive tasks and provide insights into massive datasets, saving valuable time," Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said Tuesday.
