fMRI Reveals Brain Defect Implicated in Early Schizophrenia
In the first functional magnetic resonance imaging study of its type, neurologists and psychiatrists have identified a region of the brain involved in the earliest stages of schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. More...17 Sep 2009
DTI Scanning Shows Adolescent Risky Behavior May Be Evidence of Mature Brain
A new study using brain imaging to assess teen behavior indicates that adolescents who engage in dangerous activities have frontal white matter tracts that are more adult in form than their more conservative peers. More...16 Sep 2009
Viability of Bone Marrow Stem Cells Revealed Using Novel MRI Tracking Methods
There is no known cure for neurodegenerative diseases such as Huntington's, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. But new hope, in the form of stem cells created from the patient's own bone marrow, can now be found--and literally seen--in laboratories. More...11 Sep 2009
Mapping Study Suggests Brain Shrinkage in Obese Elderly could Increase Alzheimer's Risk
Elderly people who are overweight or obese tend to have less tissue in certain areas of the brain, suggesting they might be at greater risk for dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and other cognition-impairing disorders, according to recent research. More...11 Sep 2009
Wide Bore MR System Addresses Need for Larger Systems with High-Quality Imaging
As the need for wider MR systems increases, the industry has struggled over technology hurdles preventing larger systems from providing advanced image quality. Addressing this issue, a new MRI system has been developed with a wider bore that provides the most advanced image quality, in fewer scans. More...09 Sep 2009
