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...

Liver cell adenoma or hepatocellular carcinoma?
Recently, LCAs with typical backgrounds of the patients are diagnosed by radiological findings without pathological findings due to the progress of diagnostic imaging techniques. view more (2009-03-20)
Researchers map links between size of hippocampus and progression to Alzheimer's dementia
UCLA researchers sought to test the theory that the hippocampus - the area of the brain that processes memory - is smaller in patients with mild cognitive impairment who develop into Alzheimer's dementia, and that it is larger in patients with mild cognitive impairment who experience cognitive stability or improvement. view more (2006-05-09)
Getting down to details
Dave Wilson was dissatisfied with blurry, low-sensitivity optical images of diseased tissues. So, four years ago he set out to create a better imager. view more (2009-09-29)
Another world-record achievement for National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
The National High Magnetic Field Laboratory is ending its year with another achievement of international importance as engineers and technicians this week completed testing of a world-record magnet. view more (2005-12-15)
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)
Deep brain mapping to isolate evidence of Gulf War syndrome
Researchers at Southern Methodist University in Dallas are pioneering the use of spatial statistical modeling to analyze brain scan data from Persian Gulf War veterans, aiming to pinpoint specific areas of the their brains affected by Gulf War Syndrome. view more (2008-11-20)
Penn researchers discover the powerful tool of simultaneous fMRI and PET imaging
Clinical researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Health System (UPHS) are the first to combine fMRI and PET scanning in radiology, creating a way to compare different measurements of the brain's function concurrently. This analysis could lead to better diagnosis and treatment in patients suffering from brain disorders, like Alzheimer's... view more... (2005-10-13)
UCF researcher's nanoparticles could someday lead to end of chemotherapy
Nanoparticles specially engineered by University of Central Florida Assistant Professor J. Manuel Perez and his colleagues could someday target and destroy tumors, sparing patients from toxic, whole-body chemotherapies. view more (2009-06-17)
Study using new imaging technology detects subtle brain changes in patients with Type 1 diabetes
Although people with diabetes are twice as likely as the general population to develop depression, the cause of this increased risk is not well understood. view more (2006-02-01)
Ability to track stem cells in tumors could advance cancer treatments
Using noninvasive molecular imaging technology, a method has been developed to track the location and activity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the tumors of living organisms. view more (2008-06-17)
New imaging analysis predicts brain tumor survival
As early as one week after beginning treatment for brain tumors, a new imaging analysis method was able to predict which patients would live longer, researchers from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have found. view more (2009-04-20)
Tracing broken wiring in stroke patients
Researchers have used a technique to trace the functional disruption in brain circuitry that causes stroke patients to show a lack of awareness or response to the side of the body opposite to the side of the stroke lesion in the brain. view more (2007-03-15)
Young adults at future risk of Alzheimer's have different brain activity, says study
Young adults with a genetic variant that raises their risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease show changes in their brain activity decades before any symptoms might arise. view more (2009-04-07)
Aston researchers first scientists in UK to explore mysteries of whole brain
The new Neurosciences Research Institute at Aston University houses one of only 10 whole head MEG scanners in the world. The equipment measures magnetic fields in the brain. view more (1999-11-17)
NYU, Tel Aviv University create non-invasive imaging method for diagnosing osteoarthritis
Researchers at New York University and Tel Aviv University have developed a non-invasive imaging method that can be used to diagnose and monitor a number of diseases, including osteoarthritis and inter-vertebral disc degeneration, in their early stages. view more (2008-02-12)
I feel your pain: Neural mechanisms of empathy
Is it possible to share a pain that you observe in another but have never actually experienced yourself? A new study uses a sophisticated brain-imaging technique to try and answer this question. The research, published by Cell Press in the January 29th issue of the journal Neuron, provides insight into brain mechanisms involved in empathy. view more (2009-01-28)
Pancreatic fat levels may help predict diabetes, UT Southwestern researchers say
Researchers have long suspected that overweight people tend to have large fat deposits in their pancreases, but they've been unable to confirm or calculate how much fat resides there because of the organ's location. Until now. view more (2009-09-22)
Lack of strategies to manage MRI wait lists a key reason for excessive wait times
A new study headed by Dr. Tom Feasby, Dean of UCalgary's Faculty of Medicine, shows that while Canada lags behind other countries in the number of diagnostic imaging devices, more machines are not the only solution to long wait times. The study's authors say it is critical to prioritize MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) requests effectively. view more (2009-03-06)
Study finds rise in rate of diagnostic imaging in managed care
Use of radiology imaging tests has soared in the past decade with a significant increase in newer technologies, according to a new study that is the first to track imaging patterns in a managed care setting over a substantial time period. view more (2008-11-10)
