DMI feasible in Alzheimer’s disease patients

AuntMinnie

Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) can reveal impaired brain glucose metabolism in patients with Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study published July 16 in Radiology. However, the use of PET remains limited by its higher cost and lower availability than MRI, according to the authors.

Can Brain MRI-Based Connectome Mapping Predict the Progression of Parkinson's Disease?

Diagnostic Imaging

For patients with mild Parkinson’s disease, new research suggests that indexes of disease pathology with structural and functional connectivity of brain regions can help predict progression of gray matter atrophy at two- and three-year follow-up brain MRI exams.
