The NPDPSC has an MRI Consultation Program that offers clinicians and/or families a free-of-charge reading of the Brain MRI as it pertains to the likelihood of prion disease. If you are interested in ...

Early diagnosis and noninvasive monitoring of neurological disorders require sensitivity to elusive cellular-level alterations that emerge much earlier than volumetric changes observable with ...

Brain aneurysms are potentially fatal and can be difficult to detect. Medical imagery such as MRIs and other tests involving contrast can help doctors determine the presence, location, and shape of ...

A new AI-assisted brain atlas that can help visualize the human brain in unprecedented detail has been developed by UCL researchers, in a major step forward for neuroscience and neuroimaging. The ...

For almost three decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been one of the main tools in brain research. Yet a new study published in the renowned journal Nature Neuroscience ...

MRI is a diagnostic test that doctors use to diagnose and track the progress of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS is a progressive disease that damages nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

Doctors may use an MRI scan to detect a brain aneurysm in specific cases. MRI scans and other imaging techniques can help detect a brain aneurysm and reveal its shape and precise location. A brain ...
