Using the eye as a window into the brain
Using data collected via simple eye exams, researchers are building practical tools for easily screening Type 2 diabetes patients for mild cognitive impairment.
Disordered proteins and Parkinson’s disease
Research into the workings of intrinsically disordered protein regions could lead to new ways of treating a range of neurological disorders.
Adaptive immunity in jawed and jawless vertebrates
While jawed and jawless vertebrates evolved into two distinct lineages, their adaptive immune systems share several similarities.
Shrinking Radiology’s Carbon Footprint Starts with the Scan
Because the health of our planet has a direct impact on the health and care of our patients, radiology has a responsibility to find ways to reduce our environmental impact.
Predicting Cardiovascular Events in Low-risk Patients
For male patients increased left-ventricular mass (LVM) was predictive of a cardiovascular event, while LVM-to-volume ratio was predictive in female patients.
Why are healthy farm animals fed antibiotics?
Though banned in the EU, some countries continue to feed healthy animals antibiotics – a practice that microbial ecologist Greta Reintjes says is both unnecessary and dangerous.
How do heatwaves kill?
Tens of thousands of Europeans die due to extreme heat stress every year. Expert Kristin Aunan explains the impact that rising temperatures have on the human body.
Let’s Talk About Mental Health in Health Care
Carrie Cunningham, MD, MPH, is a surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital. She also suffers from depression.
Treating osteoarthritis starts with early detection
Identifying meniscal degradation in the human knee as an early sign of osteoarthritis opens the door to new ways of treating this challenging joint disease.
Fast 5 Speakers Touch on Some of Radiology’s Key Challenges
Topics at this year’s Fast 5 sessions ranged from mentors to social media, but all echoed the annual meeting’s theme of building intelligent connections.
The Greatest Show on CT
A man walks into an emergency room claiming to have inhaled paraffin and showing signs of lipoid pneumonia. Although this may sound like the start to a riddle or a joke, it’s in fact what piqued one radiologist’s curiosity about the work-related conditions affecting circus performers.
But what does the circus have to do with radiology?
Welcome to AI’s Everything Era
If AI was a pop star, it would be entering its ‘Everything Era’.
Sinonasal Tumors Receive New Classification From WHO
Sinonasal tumors are a heterogenous group involving a variety of tissues within the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses. Although such tumors are relatively rare, representing just three percent of tumors in the upper respiratory tract, they can cause morbidity and mortality for patients.
Virtual reality platform helps amputees learn to use prostheses
A new virtual reality game lets upper limb amputees practise using a prosthetic hand.
The Rise of Virtual Imaging Trials
Providing a way to understand the most effective and safe means for preventing, diagnosing and treating a disease, clinical trials have long been a cornerstone of health care. In radiology, imaging trials are used similarly to evaluate and optimize the design and clinical use of medical imaging devices and methods.
