Tumor apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value, peritumoral ADC value and peritumor-tumor ADC value are predictive breast MRI findings for lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in invasive cancer patients, according to new research published in the European Journal of Radiology.

A new screening tool can identify pediatric patients who could potentially undergo an MRI without anesthesia, according to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Scientists from University College London used MRI to show how music can change our brain, finding neural activity in guitarists, beatboxers and non-musicians differed when listening to various sounds.

The NYU School of Medicine’s department of radiology and Facebook recently announced a new collaborative research project focused on using artificial intelligence (AI) to make MRI scans up to 10 times faster.

Extramural venous invasion (EMVI) can be reliably evaluated with MRI in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy–radiation therapy followed by surgery, according to new research published in Radiology.

Cannabidiol (CBD), a major constituent of cannabis, has been found to have a therapeutic effect on patients with psychosis. That therapeutic effect may be a result of how CBD partially normalizes alterations found in the brains of patients at a high risk of psychosis, according to new fMRI research published in JAMA Psychiatry.

Back in January, a 32-year-old man from Mumbai, India, died after being sucked into an MRI chamber while holding an oxygen cylinder. More than seven months later, the fate of the two hospital employees suspended due to the incident remains unclear.
