BackgroundComputed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are essential diagnostic tools but often provoke significant anxiety in patients, which may compromise image quality and patient cooperation. Non-pharmacological interventions such as music have been proposed as feasible alternatives to anxiolytic medications. However, the evidence supporting music interventions in radiology …

Cerebral edema is the abnormal accumulation of fluid in any of the tissue compartments of the cerebral parenchyma. It remains a significant challenge in neurotrauma care because it contributes to secondary brain injury, affecting prognosis. This review analyzes the recent literature, including foundational studies, to describe the mechanisms of distinct types of cerebral edema following […]
