Tests are often used, along with a medical history and neurological exam, to diagnose MS and rule out other causes of symptoms. More than 90% of people with MS have scar tissue that shows up on anMRI scan. A spinal tap can check for abnormalities in the fluid that bathes the brain and...
malfunction, or destruction of brain cells or brain tissue. A lesion may be localized to one part of the brain, or it may be widespread. The initial damage may be so small as to not produce any initial symptoms but progresses
A simple brain scan can now determine whether or not you have a creative mind. Scientists have found a pattern of neural activity that marks out people who are good at generating original ideas, such as Steve Jobs and Elon Musk. Experts could one day target the brain regions responsible usin...
Brain scan acquisition followed the protocol developed by UK Biobank55. The brain scans were processed and analysed by the UK Biobank team. In brief, T1-weighted brain MRI scans were acquired in sagittal orientation using a 3D magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo sequence (...

Keeping the patient’s head stationary in the scanner during the MRI acquisition is challenging, especially for small and elderly age groups. This operation is performed to reduce the noise that arises in the scan due to subject motion. The number and order of these steps may vary from case ...
Symptoms may worsen or change as the tumor continues to grow and destroys brain cells, compresses parts of the brain, and causes swelling in the brain and pressure in the skull. How Are Gliomas Diagnosed? If a brain tumor is suspected, a brain scan is typically done. This includes aCT sc...
"We also side-stepped a thorny issue: after radiotherapy, follow-up brain scan findings are often non-specific and oncologists cannot be certain whether a treatment is working or failing. "Instead of trying to grapple with interpreting each and every non-specific follow-up brain scan, we simpl...
