International Trial Shows Non-Contrast Renal MRA Accurate in Detecting Renal Artery Stenosis
Since a US Food and Drug Administration warning in 2006 about the risks associated with the use of gadolinium-containing contrast agents in patients with acute renal failure, chronic kidney disease, or end-stage renal disease, companies have been trying to develop Magnetic Resonance Angiography techniques that do not rely on contrast agents.

New Guidelines on MRI Safety and Compatibility of Medical Devices
The US Food and Drug Administration issued new guidance recommendations on magnetic resonance imaging compatibility—or in some instances, incompatibility—of implants that do not require electricity to service their function, such as intracranial aneurysm clips, cardiovascular stents, endovascular grafts, and transprostatic tissue retractors.

MRI Probe Combined with Magnetic Nanostructure and Antibody can Detect Alzheimer’s Disease Early
A noninvasive MRI application has been designed that can detect the Alzheimer’s disease in a living animal, well before typical Alzheimer’s symptoms appear. The researchers created an MRI probe that combines a magnetic nanostructure with an antibody that searches for the amyloid beta brain toxins responsible for onset of the disease. The accumulated toxins, because of the associated magnetic nanostructures, are revealed as dark areas in MRI scans of the brain. More...11 Jan 2015
New Functional MR Technique to Help Improve Understanding of Spinal Cord Injuries and Diseases
Researchers at the Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science have demonstrated that resting state networks, similar to those in the brain, also exist in the human spinal cord. Changes to the resting state networks in the brain have been linked to various disorders including memory problems during aging. More...07 Jan 2015
