In the study, MRI scans were responsible for 70% of neuroimaging spending, despite accounting for only 25% of completed exams.

Experts suggest that their findings could help differentiate between dementia and other neurological diseases that have similar symptoms.

A team of researchers have developed a new tool that benchmarks brain development and growth based on over 120,000 MRI scans.

Researchers found that more than half of symptomatic participants who reported head trauma showed signs of injury to the inferior vestibular nerve on imaging.

For patients who have suffered an acute ischemic stroke, white matter hyperintensity visualized on MRI before thrombectomy might be indicative of poor post-procedure clinical outcomes.

For 47% of patients with long COVID symptoms, brain PET scans identified mild to moderate or severe hypometabolic patterns. 

Experts noted that this overgrowth occurs before the onset of behavioral symptoms associated with autism and can be identified in babies between 6 and 12 months of age.

Experts reviewed images from more than 1,600 individuals to evaluate how such medications impacted brain bleeds, sharing their work Wednesday in AJR.
