Discuss PET/MRI illuminates cerebral vascular risk factors
November 6, 2019 -- PET/MRI scans show middle-aged adults with high vascular risk factors have less whole-brain volume by the time they reach their late 60s, but their lifestyle and physical characteristics do not influence beta-amyloid accumulation, according to a study published online on 4 November in JAMA Neurology.

Discuss MRI can shed light on cognitive decline after stroke
November 1, 2019 -- U.K. researchers have used a single MRI brain scan and an automated tissue segmentation tool to predict cognitive problems in patients with stroke-related small-vessel disease in the brain. Their work may establish useful image-based biomarkers for small-vessel disease severity.

Discuss German team casts doubt on PET's value in Alzheimer's
October 31, 2019 -- Researchers from a leading German facility have investigated whether a person's progression from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease can be reliably predicted without PET imaging. Their study published online on 18 October in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine lists several nonimaging methods that can offer a better prognosis than the modality.
