Use CAD to assess breast tissue volume on MRI
Using computer-assisted detection (CAD) software to assess enhancing breast tissue as a percentage of the entire breast volume on contrast MR imaging shows promise for improving breast cancer diagnosis, researchers have found. The study results could help streamline workflow in busy radiology departments and perhaps even make breast MRI more accessible, wrote a team led by Barbara I. Bennani-Baiti, MD, of the Medical University of Vienna in Austria. The findings were published March 12 in the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. "[A tool that] would greatly alleviate the workload and free the reporting radiologists to ...

MRI shows how the brain compensates for age-related cognitive decline
A team of researchers from the University of Cambridge in the U.K. has found evidence on MRI scans that the brain compensates for age-related deterioration by enlisting other areas to help with brain function and maintain cognitive performance. The study findings shed light on how our brains handle cognitive decline as we age, wrote a group led by Ethan Knights, PhD. The team's results were published February 6 in eLife. "Our results in the cuneus [a small lobe in the occipital lobe of the brain] represent the most compelling evidence to date for functional compensation in healthy aging, with further work needed to deter...

Football Can Damage the Brains of High-School Players
As much as fans will have to spend to attend the Feb. 11 Super Bowl, the game of football costs some professional players a vastly higher price, particularly when it comes to brain health. Researchers have found high rates of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE)—a degenerative brain disease characterized by memory loss, confusion, mood swings, violence, suicidality and more—in autopsy studies of professional football players. CTE is caused by the head trauma and whole-body hits that are characteristic of the sport, which can lead to the dangerous buildup of certain proteins around blood vessels in the brain. ...

The role of cone-beam computed tomography in the radiographic evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea: A review article
  Imaging Sci Dent.2023 Dec;53(4):283-289. doi: 10.5624/isd.20230119. Epub 2023 Nov 6. Abstract The apnea-hypopnea index is widely regarded as a measure of the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition characterized by recurrent episodes of apnea or hypopnea during sleep that induce airway collapse. OSA is a catastrophic problem due to the wide range of health issues it can cause, including cardiovascular disease and memory loss. This review was conducted to clarify the roles of various imaging modalities, particularly cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), in the diagnosis of ...

PET scanner visualizes brain activity during cough
In this study, the researchers evaluated whether the experimental PET system could clarify brain activity during CiTA. This would allow clinicians to predict whether CiTA will be effective before attempting it in patients with brain lesions who have sustained damage to the regions related to cough control, they wrote. The group enrolled 24 healthy patients who underwent separate O-15 water PET scans during four tasks: resting, voluntary cough, induced cough (where participants were induced by CiTA), and suppressed cough. Participants were fitted with masks for cough measurements during two-minute PET scans. The tussive a...
