Real-time MRI helps doctors assess beating heart in fetus
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques can provide real-time measurements of volume in a fetal heart, and may better enable physicians to plan care for infants with heart defects, according to a new study.   view more (2005-09-30)

New technique captures high-res images of full retina
Researchers used a new imaging technique to take high quality color photographs of the clinical stages of ocular inflammation in mice, and the technology could help in the monitoring and treatment of diseases of the eye that may cause blindness.   view more (2008-12-02)

EU joint effort leads to better cancer diagnosis in northern Italy
Since March 16, one of the most important drugs used primarily to diagnose cancer was made available for commercial production and distribution in some hospitals and treatment centres in northern Italy. The availability of the drug, 18F-Fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG), is the result of a joint agreement... view more (2004-04-27)

Pocket-sized magnetic resonance imaging
The term "MRI scan" brings to mind the gigantic, expensive machines that are installed in hospitals. But research scientists have now developed small portable MRI scanners that perform their services in the field: for instance to examine ice cores.    view more (2008-07-09)

Questions over accuracy of MRI in diagnosing multiple sclerosis
The accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is not sufficient to rule in or rule out a diagnosis of MS with a high degree of certainty, finds a study published online by the BMJ today.   view more (2006-03-24)

Noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging may help predict who's at risk for a heart attack
The study suggests that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—a highly sensitive technique that provides three-dimensional views of tissue at the molecular level—effectively measured macrophages or white blood cells, in the arterial walls of blood vessels.   view more (2007-01-29)

Finding out which parts of the brain do what
Ever since the Greeks proposed that different parts of the brain housed different parts of the ‘soul’, mankind has tried to discover where our mental functions are located. This evening, Thursday 22 February, in a public lecture at the Royal Society, 6 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y... view more (2001-02-15)
