Deeply grateful to share our manuscript, now published in @Radiology_RSNA and featured by @RSNA. We used deep learning to measure vertebral bone mineral density on chest CT in MESA. Lower bone density was associated with modestly accelerated regional white matter injury and faster cognitive decline, particularly among participants with diabetes. Since chest CT is done so often, this could be an opportunistic way to detect accelerated brain aging. Thank you to the MESA participants for their years of commitment. @Hopkins_Rad @RadiologyEditor 📢 Press release: rsna.org/news/2026/september… 📄 Paper: pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/ra…

Everything new is also old. This from my 1984 PhD thesis: "AI is an experimental science, yet the complexity of its programs and problem domains often makes the interpretation of results very difficult. Programs often contain so many components and parameters that limitations on computer time and the sheer number of possibilities make it impossible to experimentally evaluate how each contributes to performance." Then I argued, just as I do today, for careful empirical studies in simplified settings that enable better scientific understanding.

“We have developed an innovative deep-learning tool to precisely quantify every single enlarged perivascular space in the brain and provide us with a map of the patient’s small-vessel disease,” Habes said.

Just because it's called SMALL vessel disease doesn't mean it doesn't have a BIG impact! Small vessel dz is a BIG contributor to vascular dementia along w/large vessel cortical infarcts Do you know all the faces of small vessel dz? #medtwitter #neurotwitter #stroke #MedEd
