Summary of optical microscopic imaging methods in Alzheimer's Diseases (AD) research. In addition to conventional microscopic imaging, some super-resolution and deep-imaging imaging techniques have been developed and utilized in AD studies.

The implication of AI based algorithms in preclinical and clinical stroke studies → Efficiency of post-stroke analysis of animal behavioral and motor function in preclinical models have been improved by AI-based methods. In clinical scenario, population-based risk-prediction as well as post-stroke diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation has been positively influenced by AI-based models.

This systematic review assessed radiomics-based studies for predicting treatment response in brain metastases, evaluating their predictive performance and radiomic quality score (RQS) adherence. Radiomic models demonstrated superior predictive performance outperforming the clinical and visual assessment, with further improvement when clinical features were integrated. However, RQS adherence across studies remains moderate to poor. (Images Sourced: HCTM KL, 2023).

The application of AI in medical imaging is driving a transformation from image recognition to disease management. Current advancements include accurate image diagnosis, encompassing lesion detection, and identification as well as disease-based early diagnosis, progression prediction, and therapeutic efficacy assessment. Future directions are focused on multimodal data fusion, real-time image analysis, and the development of personalized treatment plans, aiming to enhance diagnostic accuracy, optimize treatment strategies, and achieve precision medicine through comprehensive analysis.

The study evaluates the application of low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUS) in alleviating cisplatin-induced cognitive impairment in rats and explores the associated neural mechanisms. Through behavioral assessments and 9.4-T small animal magnetic resonance imaging, results show that LIFUS improved cognitive function in rats, with significant changes in diffusion tensor imaging indices. Histopathology revealed increased dendritic spine density, reduced myelin loss, fewer apoptotic cells, increased synapses, and decreased mitochondrial autophagy, indicating a neurorepair effect of LIFUS. Additionally, microscopic and molecular immunofluorescence analyses showed that LIFUS enhanced synaptic plasticity in hippocampal neurons and mitigated neuroinflammation.

Through a consecutive six-phase scan, we recommend performing brachial plexus ceMRN 5 min after contrast injection. With this delay, the brachial plexus can be visualized optimally with minimal interference from background signal.

Congenital aorta–right atrial tunnel (ARAT) is a rare congenital cardiovascular malformation characterized by an abnormal tunnel-like connection between the aorta and the right atrium. Patients with ARAT frequently have other congenital heart malformations and require diagnosis through a variety of imaging examinations. We report a 1-month-old female infant with multiple congenital cardiac malformations who was diagnosed with ARAT using low-dose multislice spiral computed tomography because echocardiography was unclear.
