Ultrasound (US) and CT are typically viewed as the most appropriate imaging modalities for diagnosing pediatric appendicitis, but what about MRI?

After four years of testing on animals and making key updates, the University of Minnesota’s Center for Magnetic Resonance Research in Minneapolis was finally ready to test its massive 10.5T MRI scanner on a human. And once the scan was complete, it turned out it was worth the wait.

A new breast imaging technique uses MR fingerprinting for the volumetric quantification of T1 and T2 relaxation times for breast tissue, according to new research published in Radiology.

The 7T MRI scanner at the Keck School of Medicine of USC in Los Angeles has received FDA approval for clinical use.

It’s common knowledge that helium can make someone’s voice sound like a chipmunk, but the gas may be capable of another unexpected trick as well—doing serious damage to Apple products.

With the help of MRI, San Diego State University researchers found the amygdala of children on the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) had weaker connections with some regions of the brain compared to “typically developing” children within the same age group.

Researchers have used MRI to show the impact of sending electrical pulses to the vagus nerve in an attempt to correct gastrointestinal problems and provide “more precise treatment” that pharmaceutical therapies and diet have not achieved.

A deep learning algorithm can automatically detect lumbar vertebrae in MRI images, according to findings published in the Journal of Digital Imaging. This, the authors noted, has potential to improve clinician efficiency.
