MRI scan of the Head:Trauma/injury to the brain needs and MRI scan where it will help detect any swelling or bleeding. Other abnormalities which can be detected with an MRI scan of the head include brain tumors, brain aneurysms, stroke and inflammation or tumors of the spine. MRI scan in...
A special kind of MRI called a functional MRI (fMRI) maps brain activity. This test looks at blood flow in your brain to see which areas become active when you do certain tasks. An fMRI can detect brain problems, such as the effects of a stroke, Alzheimer’s, or abrain injury. It c...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been suggested to be easier to perform in children than visual fields and has the added advantage of being possible to capture under anaesthesia [7]. It has been shown to be able to detect neural and retinal causes of visual-field loss and in turn inf...
Low-stress (i.e., predominantly aerobic) activity can be repeated following a short (≤ 24 h) refractory period, while greater recovery is needed (≥ 72 h) between repeated doses of high stress (i.e., predominantly anaerobic) activity. The response of specific tissues and systems to ...
to identify patterns and detect abnormalities that may not be visible to the human eye or that an overworked diagnostician might miss. Machine learning systems can also analyze symptoms, genetic information, and other patient data to suggest tests for conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and heart...
CT scan of the Spine is commonly done to diagnose a herniated disc or spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), especially in patients who have arm, neck, leg, and/or back pain. Spinal CT scan is also done to detect fracture or a break in the spine. ...
In fact, an early diagnosis can be dramatically beneficial for the prognosis both to achieve an early therapeutic intervention and to detect a potential underlying malignancy. In this scenario, the radiologist can be the first to pose the hypothesis of autoimmune encephalitis and refer the patient ...
14 The Gd-DTPA–enhanced MRI can detect new, asymptomatic lesions in patients with active MS,14 as well as lesions correlated with new symptoms.15,16 On repeated scans, new lesions initially demonstrated with Gd-DTPA do not retain their enhanced appearance, suggesting that Gd-DTPA is a marker...
It is unclear whether single-slice estimates can replace whole-body data. Objective: We evaluated the accuracy of the best single lumbar and midthigh MRI slice to assess whole-body SM, visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). Design: Whole-body MRI was performed ...
