The frequency and determinants of abnormal test performance by normal individuals are critically important to clinical inference. Here we compare two approaches to predicting rates of abnormal test performance among healthy individuals with the rates actually shown by 327 neurologically normal adults aged ...
MRI and CT of the cardiovascular system. 3rd ed. ed. Wolters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 2013:chap Chapter 6: Quantification in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography. Hudsmith LE, Petersen SE, Francis JM, Robson MD, Neubauer S. Normal human left and right...
However, quantitative studies of brain CT perfusion in veterinary medicine are lacking. The purpose of this study was to investigate the normal range of perfusion determined via CT in brains of healthy dogs and to compare values between white matter and gray matter, differences ...
A study of cognitively normal adults over 70 years of age attempted to detect presymptomatic Alzheimer’s disease using FDG-PET, suggesting two-thirds of people in this age group had an abnormal FDG-PET scan which was associated with psychiatric symptoms72. This proportion of patients seems high...
A dedicated head scanning procedure covering the whole brain from vertex to cerebellum is used for imaging. A diagnostic dose CT scan of the brain is acquired beforehand for attenuation correction and fusion localization of PET images. The PET scans are acquired using 3D list mode on the GE Dis...
In the brain, repeated oral administration of ERGO enhances learning and memory ability in normal mice, whereas repeated oral intake of ERGO-containing golden oyster mushroom extract (GOME) tablets improves verbal memory in humans [18, 19]. Oral ingestion of GOME also promotes hippocampal ...
Whether a SPECT scan is considered normal or abnormal sometimes relies on a comparison of individual values to a reference database obtained in healthy controls. This reference database should be constructed from a large number of normal subjects covering a large age range to account for subtle ...
Current Challenges for the Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease: Brain Imaging and CSF Studies cognitively normal subjects with a family history of AD; subjects with subjective memory complaints; and normal elderly followed longitudinally until they expres... R Mistur,L Mosconi,SD Santi,... - ...
Putative functions of Tau during normal brain develop- ment are unknown, which complicates the understanding of Tau in the disease process.1 Studies investigating the effect of the MAPT haplotypes on normal brain structure are lacking. Aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the MAPT...
Glioma of the left parietal lobe. CT scan with contrast enhancement. Credit: Mikhail Kalinin/CC BY-SA 3.0 Scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have shown for the first time that severe brain cancers integrate into the brain's wiring. The tumors, called high-grade gliomas, ...
