Take a quick look at Diagnostic Imaging's Top 5 stories of the week.

65-year-old male presents with left sensorineural hearing loss.

Imaging shows even mild head impacts can have long-term neurological effects.

New consensus guidelines update clinical practice and point to a unified, worldwide approach to multiple sclerosis diagnosis and monitoring.

Here's what to expect this week on Diagnostic Imaging.

While rare, hyperintense lesions in the brain and spine and leptomeningeal enhancements have been found in patients with the COVID-19 virus in their spinal fluid.

Images show smaller hippocampal volume in patients with sickle cell disease compared to healthy patients.

Patients experience fewer neurologic, motor, and language problems post-surgery.

Study shows lower energy reserve index in patients with mild cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer’s.

Real-time visualization of brain movement can help radiologists identify hard-to-detect brain conditions.

Adding 18F-FET PET to contrast-enhanced MRI can better determine which patients are responding well to immune checkpoint inhibitors or targeted therapies.

Diffusion-prepared arterial spin labeling can measure the water exchange rate across the blood-brain barrier, catching malfunctions at an earlier state.

7T MRI highlighted multiple hippocampus differentiations between individuals with DS and healthy study participants.

Scans show significant similarities between gray and white brain matter changes in patients with both conditions.

What is your diagnosis in this 68-year-old man with increasing memory loss and dementia?

Using a model trained on three data sets could lead to automated categorization of “likely normal” and “likely abnormal” brain MRI results.

Study finds clinically significant percentage of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma develop asymptomatic brain metastases.

In a young patient with chronic seizures, what is the diagnosis?

In patients with cerebral small vessel disease, brain tissue damage can occur before lesions even appear on imaging.

While most cases do not point to an urgent need, knowing how frequently these findings appear can help with decision-making.

Here's what to expect this week on Diagnostic Imaging.

Study shows conducting MRI scans earlier in patients with mild TBI could identify which patients are likely to have the worse outcomes and when more timely intervention is necessary.

Pairing these scans with biological and clinical data can help providers with diagnosis and potential treatment.

This correlation can help providers pinpoint which patients will develop more neurological abnormalities, helping them plan interventions to improve outcomes.
