Using functional MRI (fMRI), researchers at the University of Utah Health found that music activates regions of the brain spared from memory loss caused by Alzheimer's disease.

Deep learning-based convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can help radiologists select musculoskeletal MRI protocols, according to a study published by the Journal of Digital Imaging.

The Medical Imaging & Technology Alliance (MITA) has announced the formation of a new partnership with the Focused Ultrasound Foundation. The partnership will focus on raising awareness of focused ultrasound among “policymakers, payers and medical specialty societies.”

A team from Washington University in St. Louis developed a proof-of-concept technique to detect tumor biomarkers via a blood test using noninvasive focused ultrasound. The method could potentially eliminate surgical biopsies, according to a study in Scientific Reports.

Scientists at the California Institute of Technology are taking steps toward erasable MRIs by using contrast agents natural to the human body—gas vesicles.

Recent study findings from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers may increase the number of stroke patients who can safely be treated with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), or alteplase, according to an MGH release.

Researchers at CalTech are developing "erasable" contrast agents that can "blink off" on command during an MRI to reveal their exact location inside the body, according to a press release from the California Institute of Technology.

A sinus infection is no fun for most—but when 7-year-old Layla, a 2,300-pound black rhinoceros, was suffering from the condition, veterinarians needed a better understanding of her skull to guide treatment.
