USC scientists measure brain's microvascular pulses linked to Alzheimer's
Сообщено ИИ
Researchers at the University of Southern California have developed the first noninvasive method to capture the rhythmic pulsing of the brain's tiniest blood vessels. Using advanced 7T MRI, they found these pulses strengthen with age and hypertension, potentially disrupting waste clearance and contributing to Alzheimer's disease. The findings, published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, could lead to new biomarkers for neurodegenerative conditions.
AI forecasts future knee X-rays to track osteoarthritis
Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed an AI system that predicts a patient's knee X-ray appearance one year ahead, aiding in osteoarthritis management. The tool generates visual forecasts and risk scores, presented at MICCAI 2025. It promises faster, more transparent predictions for better patient care.
