Wayne Forrest[email protected]MRIfcMRI scans could help identify brain disordersUsing functional connectivity MRI (fcMRI) scans to show how various brain networks interact and activate to perform basic daily tasks may someday help diagnose abnormalities in people with brain disorders, according to a study published April 18 in Neuron.April 17, 2018MRIMRI for knee pain adds cost with negligible benefitThe early diagnosis of an abnormality in any part of the body is often seen as a way to speed recovery. Having an MRI scan for knee pain when symptoms begin, however, hikes healthcare costs with no great benefit to the patient's quality of life, according to a study published online April 17 in Radiology.April 17, 2018Nuclear MedicineNew Alzheimer's definition relies on imaging biomarkersNew research guidelines for classifying whether individuals have Alzheimer's disease rely heavily on the use of biomarkers from imaging scans. The new framework was published in the April issue of Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association.April 16, 2018Nuclear MedicineSonographers exposed to radiation from MPI patientsA new study found that sonographers who performed cardiac ultrasound studies on patients who received nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) scans were exposed to residual radiation from the patients. While the radiation levels were low, the researchers advised that sonographers modify their scanning techniques.April 16, 2018MRIMultiparametric MRI shines for suspected breast cancerDynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging each have advantages and disadvantages for assessing suspicious breast lesions. The optimal approach is multiparametric MRI using both methods, according to a new study published online in Investigative Radiology.April 12, 2018MRIAuntMinnie.com MRI InsiderApril 10, 2018MRIReport to blame 'overburdened' staff for fatal MRI scanA preliminary report into the death of a man pulled into the bore of an MRI scanner at an Indian hospital will blame an "overburdened" staff at the Mumbai hospital for not following proper security and safety procedures at the time of the January accident.April 9, 2018MRIMRI technique could let cardiac patients breathe easierResearchers at Cedars-Sinai are giving the term multitasking a new meaning by developing an MRI technique that eliminates breath-holds and shortens cardiac scan time, according to a paper published online April 9 in Nature Biomedical Engineering.April 9, 2018MRIMRI shows maternal depression meds affect babies' brainsBabies whose mothers took medication to control their depression were found to have significantly more gray matter on MRI scans in several brain regions than infants whose mothers did not receive medication for their condition, according to a study published online April 9 in JAMA Pediatrics.April 8, 2018Nuclear MedicinePET tracer may predict depression treatment successA new PET tracer designed to target a certain protein in the amygdala is showing promise for determining the efficacy of treatment for major depressive disorder, according to a study published in the April issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.April 8, 2018Previous PagePage 51 of 239Next PageTop StoriesMRIfMRI: Cognitive behavioral therapy positively affects the brainThe findings confirm the efficacy of the treatment, researchers have reported.Practice ManagementPost Cures Act, outpatients access radiology reports fasterMRIMRI may help guide brachial plexus surgeryAIShould hospitals pursue local domain LLM adaptation for radiology reports?Womens ImagingMRI model predicts breast tumor shrinkage patterns
