With the help of functional MRI (fMRI) technology, researchers have been able to identify certain areas of the brain associated with poor sleep quality and depression, according to a study published July 25 in JAMA Psychiatry.

Canadian researchers may have found a non-invasive method to safely poke holes in the blood-brain barrier to allow delivery of drugs for neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.

Willis-Knighton Health System (Shreveport, La.) purchased a CARESTREAM DRX-Excel Plus radiography/fluoroscopy (R/F) system (see video link) to improve workflow, reduce manual actions by technologists as well as help to reduce dose.  

A recent study of Alzheimer’s patients found physicians can safely breach the blood-brain barrier using ultrasound and an MRI scanner, the San Francisco Chronicle reported this week.

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California (USC) successfully used high-resolution MRI and a cell-labeling technique to visualize nearly 100 cells, which may allow clinicians to assess the effectiveness of immune cell- and stem cell-based therapies to treat cancer.

A novel blood test given within 12 hours of suspected traumatic brain injury (TBI) may eliminate unnecessary CT scans while sparing patients radiation exposure and reducing costs, a new study in The Lancet Neurology reported—but some experts remain skeptical.

Tobias Gilk, MArch, MRSO, MRSE, has made it his personal mission to improve MRI safety in the United States. Gilk spoke with Radiology Business at the AHRA 2018 Annual Meeting in Orlando to discuss that mission.
