Scan a child’s brain, find autism – Health Management

Autism traditionally is diagnosed in early childhood based on a child’s ability to communicate and interact, yet there are no imaging or blood tests to verify these findings. However, researchers at University of Mary Washington in Virginia are developing an imaging analysis technique for the speedy diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders, focusing on the cerebellum and corpus callosum. If changes are detected in the functioning of these regions as well as the sizes of the neurons within these structures, it could indicate autism.

ACR launches National Clinical Imaging Research Registry – DOTmed HealthCare Business News

The American College of Radiology (ACR) has launched the ACR National Clinical Imaging Research Registry (ANCIRR), bringing together its world-class informatics and clinical research resources. The current and planned ANCIRR registries can collect and curate images and diverse clinical data from multiple practice settings to produce large data sets, which will enable researchers to address complex scientific questions and produce results applicable across various care settings, geographic locations and multiple populations. The newest of the six current ANCIRR registries—the COVID-19 Imaging Research Registry (CIRR)—is now live.
