FMRI shows dysfunction in bipolar, ADHD patients
University of Illinois at Chicago researchers using functional MRI found the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex region of the brain is less active in patients with pediatric bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder than in controls.
University of Illinois at Chicago researchers using functional MRI found the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex region of the brain is less active in patients with pediatric bipolar disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder than in controls. The prefrontal cortex controls behavior such as impulsivity, executive function, and cognitive processes such as working memory, attention, and language.
The researchers imaged children aged 10 to 18 with fMRI as they performed a working memory task. Subjects with bipolar disorder exhibited greater deployment of the emotion-processing circuitry and reduced deployment of working memory circuitry compared with healthy subjects. Commonalities with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder included corticosubcortical activity that was reduced under negative emotional challenge and increased under positive emotional challenge (J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry 2010;49:1064-1080).
The goal of the research is to develop imaging markers of behavioral illness that can be used in a clinical setting, the authors said.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
