Researchers have a new way to diagnose and treat traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The National Institutes of Health Clinical Center has begun started using a first-of-its-kind, whole-body scanner on patients, known as a "Biograph mMR."
The new scanner gives scientists a more complete view of abnormal metabolic activity — and in a shorter time frame than separate MRI and PET scans, by essentially blending those two imaging methods.
Dr. Walter Koroshetz, the deputy director at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Amy Morris to discuss the new technology.
