University of Virginia researchers have presented a pioneering study utilizing diffusion MRI to reveal structural brain differences in autism, offering insights into neuronal conductivity and dynamic networks.
A link between abnormal blood levels of amyloid—a protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease—and subtle changes in brain microstructures on a type of MRI could lead to a new way to detect Alzheimer’s earlier in people with no clinical signs.
The American Journal of Roentgenology reports that free-breathing cine-deep learning offers accurate left ventricular ejection fraction measurements and improved image quality compared to standard breath-hold cine sequences, particularly benefiting ischemic heart disease patients unable to repeatedly breath-hold.
Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden found differences in brain tissue structure between 16 patients previously hospitalized for COVID-19 with lingering symptoms and healthy individuals, using advanced diffusion MRI to investigate the brain’s white matter.
