Wayne Forrest[email protected]MRIMRI tracks early brain development in newbornsFor the first time, researchers are using MRI to calculate the volume of multiple brain regions in newborns to investigate how those areas develop based on gender, gestational period, and other factors in the first 90 days of life.August 11, 2014MRICanadian policy to improve MRI referrals has mixed resultsA campaign by the Ontario Ministry of Health to reduce inappropriate referrals for lumbar MRI resulted in more-appropriate exams, but it did not lower the number of new referrals, according to a study published in the August issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology.August 6, 2014Nuclear MedicinePilot study shows PET/MRI's benefits for large-vessel vasculitisEvidence supporting the clinical value of PET/MRI continues to mount, as a small study from Germany has found that the hybrid modality is effective for evaluating patients with large-vessel vasculitis.August 6, 2014ISSiemens to sell Health Services to CernerSiemens Healthcare has agreed to sell its Health Services business to healthcare information systems firm Cerner for $1.3 billion in cash, transforming the face of healthcare IT by combining the two companies' workforces to become the largest provider in the field.August 5, 2014Nuclear MedicineAuntMinnie.com Molecular Imaging InsiderAugust 4, 2014Nuclear MedicineStudy adds evidence linking Alzheimer's to sleep disordersPET images with the radiopharmaceuticals FDG and Pittsburgh Compound B have shown a connection between sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and preclinical Alzheimer's among the cognitively normal elderly, according to researchers in New York City.July 31, 2014CTImaging exams guided treatment after Boston Marathon bombingMedical imaging exams such as x-ray and CT played a key role in managing patients who arrived in the minutes and hours after the Boston Marathon bombing last year, according to a study in the August issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.July 29, 2014MRIHoney, I shrunk the magnet: Preclinical 7T MRI runs cryogen-freeLooking to fill a void in the market for preclinical MRI and eliminate the need for labs to hunt down scarce supplies of liquid helium, MR Solutions has developed a new cryogen-free, compact 7-tesla preclinical scanner for research applications.July 24, 2014Nuclear MedicineAAPM: Radiomics helps fine-tune radiation therapy doseBy extracting statistical information and other measurements from PET images using a data analysis technique called radiomics, researchers have developed a way to determine radiation therapy dose more accurately, according to a study presented this week at the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) meeting.July 23, 2014MRIMRI links antipsychotic drugs to brain lossMR images of patients with schizophrenia have confirmed that antipsychotic drugs can lead to a decrease in brain volume, but the drugs do not appear to cause adverse cognitive issues. The study also found that the rate of brain loss was greater when the dose of medication was higher.July 20, 2014Previous PagePage 113 of 239Next PageTop StoriesDigital X-Ray3D DEXA reveals lower bone density in diabetes patients3D DEXA revealed differences that conventional bone mineral density measurements did not detect.MRIGadolinium in ... beer?UltrasoundMWA safe, effective in treating hyperthyroidism with nodulesAIAI model shows promise for diagnosing prostate cancerCT'Habitat' AI model helps stratify lung nodule disease risk on LDCT
