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, CT key in spreading awareness of often undiagnosed brain condition

Often diagnosed thanks to CT scan or MRI of the brain, normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) often goes undiagnosed. According to Mark D. Johnson, MD, PhD, the chair and professor of neurosurgery at University of Massachusetts Medical School, perhaps 90 percent of the 750,000 people with NPH in the U.S. remain undiagnosed.

Around the web

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.
