Imaging study links key genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease to myelin breakdown
A new UCLA imaging study shows that age-related breakdown of myelin, the fatty insulation coating the brain's internal wiring, correlates strongly with the presence of a key genetic risk factor for Alzheimer disease. view more (2006-01-03)
Brown Chemists Create Cancer-Detecting Nanoparticles
A team led by a Brown University chemist has created the smallest iron oxide nanoparticles to date for cancer detection by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The magnetic nanoparticles operate like tiny guided missiles, seeking and attaching themselves to malignant tumor cells. Once they bind, the particles emit stronger signals that MRI scans can... view more... (2008-05-28)
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)
Use of breast MRI can be cost-effective for some women at high-risk of breast cancer
A computer model simulation suggests that adding breast MRI screening may be cost-effective for women of certain ages who carry BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations. view more (2006-05-24)
Lithium Builds Gray Matter in Bipolar Brains, UCLA Study Shows
Neuroscientists at UCLA have shown that lithium, long the standard treatment for bipolar disorder, increases the amount of gray matter in the brains of patients with the illness. view more (2007-04-11)
MR angiography highly accurate in detecting blocked arteries
A novel type of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) angiography is highly accurate in identifying blockages in the arteries that carry blood to the brain, according to a study in the February issue of Radiology. view more (2007-01-30)
NIH study finds MRI more sensitive than CT in diagnosing most common form of acute stroke
Results from the most comprehensive study to compare two imaging techniques for the emergency diagnosis of suspected acute stroke show that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide a more sensitive diagnosis than computed tomography (CT) for acute ischemic stroke. view more (2007-01-29)
Predicting PET Imaging's Future: Diagnosing and Treating Diseases ASAP
Imagine a new world of detecting and diagnosing diseases sooner-even before any symptoms are present. Consider the possibility of receiving individualized, targeted molecular, cellular or genetic medical treatment as soon as possible and of undergoing scanning that can quickly tell your doctor whether your treatment is working. view more (2006-11-02)
MRI detects cancers missed by mammography in breast cancer patients
A unique examination of one treatment center's use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in new breast cancer patients has found MRI to be superior to mammography in finding additional tumors in a breast in which cancer has already been diagnosed, and in detecting new tumors in a patient's supposedly healthy breast. view more (2007-06-04)
Facial expressions have greater impact on kids with bipolar disorder
Children with bipolar disorder respond differently to facial expressions than children without psychiatric disorders, according to a new study led by a Bradley Hospital researcher. view more (2007-11-27)
Stroke damage keeps brain regions from 'talking' to each other
Neuroscientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have linked a common post-stroke disability to impaired communication between brain regions. view more (2007-03-15)
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 Generation of Contrast Agents Provides Hope for Enhanced Brain Tumor Diagnostics
In a pilot study of gadobenate dimeglumine (GD-BOPTA), the new contrast agent has yielded improved diagnostic imaging of brain tumors in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to standard contrast media. A team of researchers headed by PD Dr. Marco Essig, Division of Radiology of the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (German Cancer Research... view more... (2004-05-03)
New technique puts brain-imaging research on its head
It's a scene football fans will see over and over during the bowl and NFL playoff seasons: a player, often the quarterback, being slammed to the ground and hitting the back of his head on the landing. view more (2005-12-09)
spectroscopyNOW.com - New Proteomics and MRI Channels Launched
spectroscopyNOW.com, the first dedicated spectroscopy portal, is rapidly growing to meet the needs of the constantly expanding field of spectroscopy research. This month two new channels are launched extending the breadth of information provided by this indispensable landmark resource. view more (2002-02-13)
MRI screening of opposite breast necessary for women with recent breast cancer diagnosis
Women with a recent diagnosis of cancer in one breast should have MRI screening of the opposite breast, concludes a multi-center study involving University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researchers. view more (2007-03-28)
New technology offers hope of safe MRI exams
While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is already well established as a premiere non-invasive imaging technology, patients with implantable pacemakers, implantable cardiac devices, neurostimulators and other medical devices are often denied the evaluation their medical situation urgently requires. view more (2007-04-05)
Specimen radiography confirms success of MRI-guided breast biopsy
Radiologists can help confirm that an MRI-guided breast biopsy has successfully removed the lesion by taking an x-ray of the lesion and slices of the lesion, a new study shows. view more (2006-08-14)
Simple eye scan opens window to multiple sclerosis
A five-minute eye exam might prove to be an inexpensive and effective way to gauge and track the debilitating neurological disease multiple sclerosis, potentially complementing costly magnetic resonance imaging to detect brain shrinkage - a characteristic of the disease's progression. view more (2007-10-16)
Vaginal birth increases risk of hemorrhage in newborns
The first researchers to use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study the brains of a large group of babies soon after birth found a small amount of bleeding in and around the brains of one in four babies who were delivered vaginally. The study appears in the February issue of Radiology. view more (2007-01-30)
