By using a combination of functional liver imaging scores (FLIS) derived from gadoxetic acid (GA)-enhanced MRI and splenic diameter measured on MRI, the experts were able to non-invasively assess liver impairment.

Brain MRI of the choroid plexus, the main supplier of cerebrospinal fluid, can deliver independent biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease without an assist from clinical tests for amyloid abnormality or neurodegeneration. 

7T MRI brain scans can analyze the locus coeruleus—an area difficult to visualize on standard scanners—of patients with Parkinson’s and progressive supranuclear palsy to identify those most likely to respond to certain treatment strategies.

Because sacral insufficiency fractures do not always show a fracture line, they can be difficult to diagnose or even misdiagnosed as bone metastasis, which could result in additional treatments like radio-chemotherapy.

Structural brain abnormalities detected by MRI are among the risk factors the funded researchers will identify as novel biomarkers.

An international panel of experts recently developed and validated a reporting assessment scoring system that analyzes the location and extent of prostate cancer recurrence. 

In some cases hospital staff kept no watch over outside-looking-in connections between manufacturers and scanners.
