Neuroimaging Study May Pave Way for Effective Alzheimer's Treatments
Scientists have determined that a new imaging technology known as Pittsburgh Compound-B-positron emission tomography is effective in detecting deposits of amyloid-beta protein plaques in the brains of living people, and that these deposits are predictive of who will develop Alzheimer's disease.

Imaging Shows that Brain Dopamine Receptor Density Correlates with Social Status
People have typically viewed the benefits that increase with social status principally from the perspective of external rewards. A new study published suggests that there are internal rewards as well. More...03 Mar 2010
Perfusion Imaging May Be Better Sign of Blood Vessel Narrowing and Early Coronary Artery Disease
Cardiologists and heart imaging specialists have enrolled the first dozen patients in a one-year investigation to learn whether the slight squeezing of blood flow through the inner layers of the heart is better than traditional single photon emission computed tomography nuclear imaging tests.
