Combining PET and MRI Data May Be Key to Differentiating New Type of Dementia
Researchers have demonstrated that combining 18F‑FDG PET with high‑resolution MRI can reliably separate limbic‑predominant age‑related TDP‑43 encephalopathy (LATE) from Alzheimer’s disease in living patients. By creating stereotactic surface projection PET templates from autopsy‑confirmed cases and integrating MRI volumetry, the team identified distinct metabolic and structural signatures for pure LATE and mixed LATE‑AD presentations. Pure LATE predominantly involves the medial temporal lobe, whereas mixed cases show orbitofrontal and lateral temporal involvement. The approach offers a practical imaging‑based biomarker for a condition that previously lacked clinical tests.

Low-Value X-Ray Imaging for Facial Trauma Still Prevalent, Despite CT’s Superiority
A new JAMA Network Open study of 281,000 U.S. facial‑trauma patients shows that 26% still receive plain X‑ray as the first imaging test, despite CT being the gold‑standard for fracture detection. Use of low‑value radiographs has fallen from 33% in...
