Image Analysis Algorithms Devised to Find Weak Spots in Muscles, Tendons, and Bones prone to Tearing, Breaking

Researchers have developed algorithms to detect weak spots in muscles, tendons, and bones predisposed to tearing or breaking. The technology, which needs to be further refined before it is used in patients, may soon help target minor strains and tiny injuries in the body’s tissues long before greater problems occur. More...

Right anterior prefrontal cortex = yellow; ACC = red; average activation map = blue (Photo courtesy of Frontiers in Human Neuroscience journal).

Physically Fit Children Have More Robust Brain White Matter

A new study of 9- and 10-year-old children revealed that those who are more aerobically fit have more fibrous and compact white-matter tracts in the brain than their peers who are less fit.   More...

Diagnostic Imaging Tests Ordered by General Practitioners in Australia Nearly Double in 10 Years

A 45% increase in diagnostic imaging tests ordered by Australian GPs is being fueled by increasing GP visits, an escalating number of problems managed at doctor visits, and a higher probability that GPs order imaging tests for these problems, according to a new study.   More...
