Siemens Medical Solutions of Malvern, PA, has selected the Suse Linux Enterprise Real-Time operating system (OS) and NightStar application development tools to improve processing performance of its Magnetom MRI products.

The Suse Linux Enterprise Real Time OS is built on top of the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 platform from Novell of Waltham, MA. The system has been extended with real-time computing capabilities from Concurrent of Duluth, GA.

The OS features support for 32- and 64-bit processor architectures (Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron), guaranteed interrupt response time of less than 30 msec, high-resolution timer support for enhanced scheduling, user-level control of hyperthreading, and processor shielding, all within a single application programming interface (API), according to Novell.

MRI reveals effects of risk factors on vulnerable brain regions
By Kate Madden Yee
MRI shows the effects particular risk factors such as diabetes, air pollution, and frequency of alcohol use have on "higher-order" brain regions located in the cerebral cortex, researchers have found.
March 27, 2024
To the left of the figure, the red-yellow color denotes the regions that degenerate earlier than the rest of the brain and are vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease. These brain areas are higher-order regions that process and combine information coming from our different senses. To the right of the figure, each dot represents the brain data from one UK Biobank participant. The overall curve shows that, in these particularly fragile regions of the brain, there is accelerated degeneration with age. Image courtesy of Gwenaëlle Douaud, PhD, and Jordi Manuello, PhD.

PET/MRI findings ‘encouraging’ for people with late-life depression
By Will Morton
PET/MRI scans have revealed positive findings for people with late-life depression – namely that they have preserved “synaptic density,” and thus are likely to respond to treatment, according to a group in Belgium.

PET/MRI images used in the analysis: Axial (left, through the prefrontal volume-of-interest) and coronal (right, through the hippocampal volume-of-interest) overlay of a partial volume corrected carbon-11 UCB-J PET image (right subparts) registered to the anatomical T1-weighted MRI background for delineation.
