Using MRI, researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have devised a technique that reveals the type and number of brain cells present. They can also detect where cells have been lost through injury and disease.

Performing MRI scans within one month of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can yield important information about the patient’s neurocognitive and psychiatric health, according to research published in Journal of Affective Disorders.

Some break-ups are just so traumatic, a person can’t even see the point of getting out of bed. But one musician looked to neuroscience and fMRI to help stop a heavy heart from keeping her down.

Australia’s federal government is allocating approximately $125 million ($175 million Australian) for MRI. Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Health Minister Greg Hunt both back the funding and believe it will result in improved diagnosis and treatment.

The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) has published a new white paper, Radiologic Technologist Best Practices for MR Safety, designed to help MR technologists provide the safest patient care possible.

Researchers have simulated how more than 20 different breast tissue ratios respond to heat emitted from MRIs at higher field strengths than those currently in hospitals, according to findings in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.

Abbreviated MRI—a new breast imaging modality at University of Kansas Health System—makes screening quicker and less painful, according to a report by local NBC affiliate KSHB-TV.

Jonathan Ashmore is an MRI physicist with National Health Service, the United Kingdom’s public healthcare system. He doesn’t interact with patients too often, but with an office next door to radiology department, he heard the distress children experienced before, during and after an MRI exam.
