First-of-Its-Kind Study to Use Advanced MRI Techniques for Testing Brain’s Ability to Adapt to Bionic Limbs
Prosthetics can be a supportive tool for children born with missing limb to perform everyday activities, although little is known about how the brain responds to the addition of an artificial limb. A new, first-of-its-kind clinical trial will use advanced functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine how the brain adapts to advanced, bionic arms in children born without a limb, with the ultimate goal of improving control of their prosthetic.

Algorithm Detects Alzheimer’s Disease from MRI Images with Nearly 100% Accuracy
An improved algorithm that can detect Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from MRI images has achieved over 98% accuracy on a test dataset in detecting the neurodegenerative disease by improving a neural network model. To facilitate the process of diagnosing AD, researchers from Kaunas University of Technology (KTU, Kaunas, Lithuania; www.en.ktu.edu) developed a deep learning method to detect early signs of AD from MRI images.

New Hybrid PET/MRI System Aims to Improve Breast Cancer Diagnosis
The HYPMED project, coordinated by the European Institute for Biomedical imaging (EIBIR, Vienna, Austria), aims to develop a radiofrequency coil that can be connected to any regular clinical MR scanner and transform the device into a high-resolution PET/MRI hybrid system, which can be used to identify even the smallest breast cancer tumors and better characterize the cancer, as well as its response to therapy.

Novel MRI Approach Helps Diagnose Alzheimer’s Before Symptoms Develop
An MRI scan of the hippocampus, the brain’s memory center, in an older person with no signs of cognitive decline and a person of similar age with mild Alzheimer’s has been analyzed with a new technique that shows where healthy brain cells have been lost. This novel MRI approach can identify brain cell damage in people at early stages of Alzheimer’s, before tissue shrinkage is visible on traditional MRI scans. More...07 Mar 2022
