Imaging Test Designed for Autism Spectrum Disorder
Scientists have developed a brain-imaging technique that may be able to identify children with autism spectrum disorder in just two minutes. Typically, diagnosis—an unquantifiable process based on clinical judgment—is time-consuming and tiresome on children and their families. That may change with this new diagnostic test.

Quantitative Diffusion Tensor MRI Technology Diagnoses Head Injuries Not Seen on Standard MRI, CT Scans
An imaging center in the US state of Louisiana is now using quantitative diffusion tensor imaging, a new magnetic resonance imaging technology, to detect brain damage that cannot be seen on standard MRI or computed tomography scans. More...21 Jan 2015
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.
