Signs of 'animals in the brain' can signal disease conditions
By John Brosky
The sudden appearance of animals in radiology images is not the result of eye fatigue, but may be an easily recognizable, and highly memorable, sign of disease to be reported. That's the view of researchers in an award-winning study presented at ECR 2011.

CT, MR make rapid, sustained progress in brain perfusion
By Philip Ward
Perfusion imaging is proving increasingly useful for analyzing the biological behavior of central nervous system diseases, particularly the hemodynamic features. Qualitative and quantitative information can now be acquired for evaluating pathoanatomical structures, and pathophysiological changes of the lesions.

Functional MRI can help surgical planning for brain cancer
By Wayne Forrest
Routine presurgical functional MRI provides "superior assessment" of the spatial relationship between brain tumors and the motor cortex, which, in turn, enhances the risk-benefit evaluation for patients before surgery, according to a study published online February 10 in European Radiology.
