Image: T1, T2 and T2 myocardial tissue quantification in one solution, on the fly. Based on HeartFreeze Inline Motion Correction (Siemens unique), MyoMaps1 provides pixel-based myocardial quantification. Global, diffuse, myocardial pathologies can be better detected (T1 Map), or better depict cardiac edema (T2 Map) and improve early detection of iron overload (T2 Map) (Photo courtesy of Siemens Healthcare).

New Cardiology Imaging Tools Include MRI Myocardial Tissue Quantification to Help Fight Cardiovascular Disease

New imaging tools have been designed for a more precise diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases using computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and molecular imaging, as well as utilizing a universal angiography system with sophisticated features for cardiology.   More...

Neuro-MRI Scanning Reveals Disparities Between Imagining and Remembering

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, investigators are learning more about where and how imagination processes occur in human brains. Investigators devised a study that would help them distinguish real imagination from related mental processes such as remembering.    More...

fMRI Shows Earlier Depression Can Lead to Hyperconnected Brain Networks in Young Adults

Depression may be better predicted and understood now that researchers have discovered through neuroimaging that young adults who had previously suffered from depression have hyper-connected emotional and cognitive networks in the brain.   More...

Nanotechnology Provides an Armory of Imaging and Therapeutic Applications

Scientists have created dynamic nanoparticles that could provide a range of applications to diagnose and treat cancer. Built on a simple-to-construct polymer base, these particles can be utilized as contrast agents to illuminate tumors for MRI and PET scans or deliver chemo and other therapies to kill tumors.  More...

Transarterial Chemoembolization Contrast Agent Approved by French National Agency for Liver Cancer

An imaging agent has been recently approved by the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products for selective hepatic intra-arterial injection for visualization, localization, and vectorization during chemoembolization of tumors in adults with known, intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma.  More...

Balance Board Triggers Favorable Changes in Multiple Sclerosis Patients’ Brains

A balance board designed for a widely used video game console has been shown to help patients suffering from multiple sclerosis to reduce their risk of accidental falls, according to new findings.   More...

Right anterior prefrontal cortex = yellow; ACC = red; average activation map = blue (Photo courtesy of Frontiers in Human Neuroscience journal).

Physically Fit Children Have More Robust Brain White Matter

A new study of 9- and 10-year-old children revealed that those who are more aerobically fit have more fibrous and compact white-matter tracts in the brain than their peers who are less fit.   More...
