SPECT/CT Imaging Helps Choose Best Treatment for Low Back Pain
A molecular imaging scan in addition to a standard bone scan can provide the needed information about the physiologic health of the spine to choose the most suitable pain-killing treatment strategy for low back pain sufferers. More...26 Jun 2014

fMRI Brain Scans Reveal Differences in Adults Who Have Recovered from Childhood ADHD and Those Who Did Not
In a study to compare patterns of brain activity in adults who recovered from childhood with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and those who did not, neuroscientists have discovered key differences in a brain communication network that is active when the brain is at wakeful rest and not focused on a particular task.
