Decoding Stroke with Neural Networks

Imagine you’re a detective analyzing clues to solve a mysterious case. In this study, scientists took a similar approach but traded in magnifying glasses for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to investigate perfusion in patients with acute ischemic stroke. The CNN was trained on pre-processed CT perfusion data, generating informative maps that revealed the extent of […]

Utility of quantitative MRI metrics in brain ageing research

The study explores the utility of new, advanced quantitative MRI metrics in brain ageing research. Like a high-resolution camera that captures intricate details, these MRI metrics allow scientists to evaluate various biological processes relevant to ageing in real time. By combining different MRI parameters, such as myelin density, cellular membrane integrity, and iron concentration, researchers […]
