A new study published in Radiology is an important step forward in confirming 4D flow MRI as a noninvasive, reproducible, and reliable tool for measuring cerebrovascular health. Cerebrovascular and neurologic health are of primary national concern, with over $300 billion being spent on care for Alzheimer disease and related dementias in 2022. To monitor the risk of …
In addition to being used as a diagnostic tool, neuroimaging is also regularly employed for research and commercial purposes. When a research volunteer undergoes a brain MRI, their scan might reveal an “incidental finding.” This term describes unknown abnormalities of potential clinical importance that are discovered incidentally during a research examination. A recent paper in …
Machine learning (ML), a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science, is an emerging field which uses algorithms to analyze and draw inferences from patterns in data. ML and AI approaches are the basis of sensational innovations – like self-driving cars or ChatGPT – as well as something as familiar as Netflix’s recommendation engine. …
