Each year in the United States,traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are responsible for 52,000 deaths and 1,365,000 emergency department visits. Research with new imaging modalities is providing new ...

A new study suggests that changes on diffusion tensor imaging might be useful biomarkers for frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Mahoney et al. conducted two scans approximately 1 year apart in 23 patients ...

A new type of brain scan, called diffusion tensor imaging, appears to be better at detecting whether a person with memory loss might have brain changes of Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study ...

White matter (WM) changes could be driving cognitive deficits seen in some patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), a new study suggests. Using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), a refinement of MRI that ...

Patients with advanced multiple system atrophy (MSA) have characteristic signal changes on MRI, including dorsolateral putaminal hyperintensity and the hot cross bun sign. These signs are, however, ...

What is diffusion tensor imaging? Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a relatively new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique designed to estimate the axonal organization of the brain via ...

People with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have cognitive problems, or problems with memory, attention, and concentration, have more damage to areas of the brain involved in cognitive processes than ...

Factors that best predicted 8-year mortality in patients 50-85 years of age with cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) included older age, lower gait speed, lower gray matter volume, and a greater ...
