Despite increases of 250% for CTA and 428% for CTP, researchers observed lower rates of neuroimaging utilization among rural residents, older individuals (80 years and above), women and Black patients.

The model combines clinical data with imaging from head CT scans in individuals with severe traumatic brain injuries to quickly predict 6-month outcomes.

Utilization of head CT perfusion (CTP) for imaging stroke patients spiked 428% between 2012 and 2019. Curiously, the uptrend was associated with higher mortality up to a year after discharge.

By superimposing images of tiny veins in the brain over conventional MRI modules, physicians can identify the distinguishing "central vein sign."

A new study published in Radiology found that mesh plugs that are traditionally used to treat brain aneurysms where the blood vessels branch out can also be effective when used to treat aneurysms on the side of the vessel. 

In a statement released on April 14, MITA cautioned that the coverage decision will “severely limit patient access” to amyloid PET diagnostics and anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies treatment.
