Bird Song Study Gives Clues to Human Stuttering
Researchers at the Methodist Neurological Institute (NI) in Houston and Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City used functional MRI to determine that songbirds have a pronounced right-brain response to the sound of songs, establishing a foundational study for future research on songbird models of speech disorders such as stuttering. view more (2007-06-12)
Breast MRI spots other cancers, may alter treatment plan
In about 20 percent of women with breast cancer who plan to undergo a lumpectomy, breast magnetic resonance imaging reveals important diagnostic information that alters their treatment plan. view more (2007-12-06)
Watching tumors melt away
All standard methods of removing tumors have side effects. Surgical excision under anesthetic leaves a wound - usually extending into adjacent healthy tissue. It also raises the risk of cancerous cells spreading via blood and lymph vessels. The X- or gamma-rays used in radiation therapy have to pass through healthy tissue to reach deeper-lying... view more... (2003-12-01)
Breast cancer diagnosis from combined MRI-optics method
By combining two techniques, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and near-infrared optics, researchers at Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Medical School may have devised a new, potentially more accurate method for diagnosing breast cancer. view more (2007-04-16)
Barrow researchers identify a new approach to detect the early progression of brain tumors
Researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center recently participated in a pilot study with the Montreal Neurological Institute that suggests a certain type of MRI scanning can detect when a patient is failing brain tumor treatment before symptoms appear. view more (2008-08-29)
Scientists identify brain regions that decide where we look
Scientists have found the brain regions that decide where we look, and where to direct our eyes when we're faced with a difficult choice, such as looking someone straight in the eye or looking away. view more (2005-01-24)
Developing unique brain maps to assist surgery and research
Researchers from the Howard Florey Institute in Melbourne are developing new technology to create individualised brain maps that will revolutionise diagnosis of disease and enhance the accuracy of brain surgery. view more (2008-06-17)
MRI/PET Scanner Combo
Two kinds of body imaging -- positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) -- have been combined for the first time in a single scanner. view more (2008-03-10)
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING COULD BENEFIT RESIDUAL RECTAL-CANCER MANAGEMENT (pp 495, 497)
The technique of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could help clinicians identify patients at high risk of recurrence of rectal cancer, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Incomplete surgical removal of rectal cancer (resulting in the formation of circumferential tumour spread) is thought to be the main cause of local... view more... (2001-02-14)
MRI spots DCIS in mice
A new magnetic resonance imaging procedure can detect very early breast cancer in mice, including ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a precursor to invasive cancer. Some of the tumors detected were less than 300 microns in diameter, the smallest cancers ever detected by MRI. view more (2008-10-01)
Prenatal alcohol exposure damages white matter, the brain's connective network
One part of the prenatal brain that may be particularly sensitive to alcohol's effects is white matter, nerve fibers through which information is exchanged between different areas of the central nervous system. A recent study has demonstrated that alcohol consumption during pregnancy can alter the microstructural integrity of developing fetal... view more... (2008-12-22)
UK researchers develop novel treatment for fibroids
UK researchers have developed a novel method of treating uterine fibroids that allows women to be treated under local anaesthetic as outpatients. Their technique, which uses a laser guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is reported today (Friday 27 September) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal, Human Reproduction.* Around a... view more...

ESC Congress 2003: Noninvasive Coronary Imaging
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology ESC Congress 2003: Picture Perfect - Progress in non-invasive imaging There has been... view more...

Cone-Beam CT faster, potentially more accurate than conventional mammography
Cone-beam breast CT provides exceptional tissue contrast and can potentially reduce examination time with comparable radiation dose to conventional 2D mammography, according to a new study by a team of researchers from the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. view more (2007-12-28)
Study uses MRI to determine features of osteoarthrosis
Abnormalities in the ligaments found on the outside of the knee (lateral collateral ligament complex or LCLC) are commonly seen on MRI in patients with knee osteoarthrosis (OA). view more (2007-05-07)
Landmark Trial to Evaluate Cardioprotective Properties of Insulin
The ability of insulin to limit heart-tissue damage during a heart attack will be tested in a landmark clinical trial led by Paresh Dandona, M.D., Ph.D., University at Buffalo Distinguished Professor in the departments of Medicine and Pharmacology and Toxicology in the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. view more (2007-11-12)
Harvard researchers publish MRI images of genes in action in the living brain
Biologists have just confirmed what poets have known for centuries: eyes really are windows of the soul-or at least of the brain. view more (2008-03-31)
Brains of term infants with heart disease resemble those of preemies
The brains of full-term infants with congenital heart disease appear more similar to those of premature newborns than to the brains of normal term infants, a study conducted by researchers at UCSF has found. view more (2007-11-08)
Mastectomies on the rise and MRI use may explain part of the trend, say Mayo researchers
The number of women undergoing mastectomy (total breast removal) for early-stage breast cancer has increased in the last three years at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The increase follows a steady decline during the prior seven years. view more (2008-05-16)
MR imaging accurately determines prostate cancer treatment failure
Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) plus diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can accurately diagnose residual or recurrent prostate cancer in patients treated with high-intensity focused ultrasonic ablation, a new study shows. view more (2008-05-20)
