“Whether patients undergo a procedure to remove plaque in the carotid artery, known as a carotid endarterectomy, stenting to insert a flexible tube to hold open the narrowed part of the artery, or a ...

To simulate blood flow inside brain aneurysms, researchers from Japan have developed a computational method that combines 4D flow MRI, computational fluid dynamics, and data assimilation, which ...

A recent study published in the journal Alcohol provides evidence that even low-level drinking may have negative consequences ...

Subtle changes in brain blood flow and oxygen use are closely linked to hallmark signs of Alzheimer’s, including amyloid plaques and memory-related brain shrinkage. Simple, noninvasive scans may one ...

A project at USC Keck School of Medicine has studied how brain blood flow and oxygenation provide early clues to a patient's risk of Alzheimer's disease. Published in the journal Alzheimer's & ...
