Kinematic quantitative 4D CT can help differentiate patients with subtalar joint stiffness and chronic ankle instability, reported authors of a March 5 study published in the European Journal of Radiology. The technique may better personalize care for patients with ankle joint pain.

The research team also found combining 4D CT and technetium-99m sestamibi SPECT/CT did not improve diagnostic performance compared to 4D CT alone.

Individual language is significantly impacted by what we hear, and a team of researchers from New York University used various imaging methods to determine that our brain’s pathways play a central role in speech development.

The technique, which combines MRI with a manganese-based contrast agent, could help researchers better understand how neurons communicate in the brain, according to the study published online Feb. 22 in Nature Communications.
