Ultrasound for Neck NI-RADS 2 Evaluation

Podcast editor Francis Deng explores a recent AJNR article, "Diagnostic Performance of Ultrasound in Neck Node NIRADS Category 2." Bottom line is: Ultrasound, with targeted FNA, can accurately determine tumor recurrence in patients with NI-RADS 2 (low suspicion) lymph node findings during surveillance of head and neck cancer.

Dr. Francis Deng interviews Dr. Ajay Madhavan about his article "Evaluation of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Probabilistic Brain MRI Scoring Systems in Normal Patients" published in the September issue of AJNR.    

In this AJNR Podcast author interview, Dr. Francis Deng is joined by leading expert Dr. Ana Franceschi, lead author of the recent AJNR State of the Practice paper on brain PET for Alzheimer disease. Dr. Franceschi breaks down everything clinicians need to know about this new era of molecular neuroimaging relevant to Alzheimer disease diagnostics and response assessment, from scan interpretation to the practical logistics of scaling up services.
