Deep Learning Algorithm Can Measure Disease Severity and Change on a Continuous Spectrum
Clinicians often use imaging to evaluate both the severity and progression of disease, in many cases by assigning severity to one of several categories based on the imaging findings and seeing whether and how the classification changes on follow-up. This approach can have its limits, though. B...
The Radiochemistry Team, and Everything That Doesn’t Go Wrong
PET-MR, a multimodality imaging technique that pairs the whole-body functional imaging of positron emission tomography (PET) with the local anatomic detail and morphological information of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, shows great potential for clinical application. We still don’t know exactly...
Ultrahigh-field MRI Tracks Development of Cortical Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
The development of lesions in the brain’s cortical gray matter is a strong predictor of neurological disability for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study reported today in the journal Radiology. The findings suggest a role for ultrahigh-field MRI in monitoring the progression ...
A New Role for Diffusion MRI in Treating Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety disorders and depression are widespread among adolescents in the U.S., affecting as many as one in four 13 to 18 year olds. Determining the best course of treatment can be difficult, though, as we still don’t fully understand the biology underlying them. Now, using cutting-edge brain i...
