Wayne Forrest[email protected]MRISoftware reveals patient identities using MRI dataResearchers from the Mayo Clinic are sounding the alarm after discovering that facial recognition software could be used to analyze MRI brain scans and match the data to actual photographs of individuals in research studies. They published their findings online October 24 in the New England Journal of Medicine.October 24, 2019MRIHospital staff injured in MRI accident in SwedenOfficials at a Swedish hospital have confirmed that a hospital staff member was seriously injured and two security guards sustained minor injuries in an accident on Wednesday involving a mobile MRI scanner.October 23, 2019MRIfMRI differentiates Gulf War illness from chronic fatigueFunctional MRI (fMRI) has helped uncover significant differences in brain activity between individuals with Gulf War illness and chronic fatigue syndrome, despite having similar symptoms of malaise and pain, in two studies presented Wednesday at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting in Chicago.October 22, 2019MRIBe mindful of respiratory, motion issues with GBCAsA comparison of two gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) for hepatobiliary MRI shows that both agents can cause respiratory and motion issues for patients, but the issues were more pronounced with one of the agents, according to a study to be published in the November issue of Radiology.October 21, 2019Molecular ImagingIs PET really necessary to predict oncoming Alzheimer's?Can a person's progression from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease be reliably predicted without PET imaging? A new study published online October 18 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine lists several nonimaging methods that could offer a better prognosis than the modality.October 20, 2019MRIMRI shows concussion effects last longer than thoughtMR images have revealed lingering abnormalities in the brains of concussed athletes more than a year after they were cleared to return to competition, which could mean the injuries have not yet completely healed, according to a study published online on October 16 in Neurology.October 16, 2019MRIfMRI maps show dementia spreading through brain networksBrain maps based on functional MRI (fMRI) scans are proving useful in predicting the spread of brain atrophy that leads to progressive dementia, according to a study published October 14 in Neuron.October 15, 2019MRIMRI links head trauma microbleeds to clinical outcomeMRI scans of patients with traumatic head injuries have revealed microbleeds that appear as dark lesions and are often too small for detection on CT, according to a study published on October 14 in Brain.October 14, 2019MRIfMRI links mood disorders to greater suicide riskThe ability of resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) to pinpoint reduced brain connectivity in individuals with mood disorders could help clinicians detect people who might become suicidal, according to a study published October 10 in Psychological Medicine.October 13, 2019Molecular ImagingAutomated bone scan software proves worth with radium-223An automated bone scan algorithm has shown its value in determining the response to radium-223 (Ra-223) treatment for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, according to a study published online October 4 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.October 9, 2019Previous PagePage 17 of 239Next PageTop StoriesNuclear MedicineLLMs rapidly evolving in nuclear medicineLarge language models (LLMs) are widely used to handle the large volume of text data generated in nuclear medicine.MRIDWI with fat correction identifies liver scarring in MASLD patientsUltrasoundGhost scans problematic in POCUS trauma examsMolecular ImagingPSMA-PET may require selective use to be cost-effectiveSponsor ContentJoin Us!
