Iron particles could lead to MRI contrast alternative
By AuntMinnie.com staff writers
Researchers from Rice University and MD Anderson Cancer Center are developing a way to load iron inside nanoparticles to create MRI contrast agents that potentially could outperform gadolinium chelates, according to a study published online August 8 in ACS Nano. The particles are based on nanomatryoshkas, concentric layered nanoparticles that draw their name from Russian nesting dolls.

Facebook, NYU feel need for MRI speed with AI
By Erik L. Ridley
Can less really be more in MRI? Facebook and New York University (NYU) intend to find out with the launch of fastMRI, a collaborative project that aims -- with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) -- to make MRI scans up to 10 times faster by reconstructing diagnostic-quality images using much less raw data.
