"New imaging data offer clues that could help predict the development of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), potentially leading to in vivo treatment options.

Currently, CTE can only be diagnosed post-mortem via brain tissue assessment during an autopsy. This makes understanding how the neurodegenerative condition manifests in living individuals difficult, which hinders medical experts' ability to develop treatment strategies.

However, new data published in Brain Communications suggest certain in vivo MRI findings in individuals who have participated in contact or collision sports could be indicative of early onset CTE. "

"Early detection and ongoing monitoring of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) could be assisted with standard MRI scans of a person’s tongue, research led by The University of Queensland has found.

Research led by Dr Thomas Shaw from The University of Queensland’s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science found people living with MND who have difficulty speaking or swallowing tend to have smaller tongue muscles, which could provide an early indication of neurodegenerative disease."

"SHREVEPORT, La. - It's breast cancer awareness month and KTBS has partnered with Willis Knighton health to keep you informed and highlight early detection.

For many women, a confusing part of their mammogram is breast density. Density refers to the amount of glandular tissue compared to fatty tissue in the breast. Younger women typically have denser breasts which is normal and related to childbearing years and breastfeeding."

"New research supports the use of pre-operative MRI for patients undergoing surgery to cure breast cancer.

Published in RSNA’s Radiology, the new data indicate that women who undergo pre-op MRIs have better long-term outcomes. This is especially true for those under 50 at the time of diagnosis and treatment. "

"Patients diagnosed with periodontal Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) may also have changes in the brain’s white matter, which makes up the tissue in the brain and spinal cord, a case series reports.

Periodontal EDS is the rarest form of EDS, and is characterized by severe early-onset gum disease.

The study, “Peridontal Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is associated with leukoencephalopathy,” was published in the journal Neurogenetics."

"The American College of Radiology is urging the Trump administration to protect medical imaging and radiation therapy devices from potential tariffs.

Last month, the Department of Commerce launched an investigation into the importing of such items, seeking to determine the impact on national security. The notice pertains to CT scanners, MRI machines, X-ray apparatuses and other radiologic equipment, along with medical items such as personal protective equipment (PPE). "

"In a new study, preoperative breast MRI revealed additional suspicious lesions in over 50 percent of women slated to undergo surgery for breast cancer and was associated with a significantly higher rate of mastectomy.

For the retrospective study, recently published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, researchers reviewed data from 1,872 women underwent surgery for newly diagnosed breast cancer. The study authors noted that 992 women in the cohort had at least one preoperative MRI to assess the extent of the disease."

"Faster MRI scans could help end the “postcode lottery” of dementia diagnosis by cutting costs and making the scans more widely available, a study has suggested.

Brain scans help diagnose dementia alongside memory tests and blood tests, but because MRI scans are expensive, very few patients are offered them.

Researchers at University College London (UCL) have developed a way of running the brain scans to achieve the same results in a third of the time - potentially doubling the number of dementia scans able to be done in a day and lowering the cost"
