Four-dimensional (4D) MRI with dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) sequencing is a reliable method for localizing parathyroid lesions, reported authors of a single-center study published in the European Journal of Radiology.

There’s been plenty of hype around the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to ease radiology workloads. And a new convolutional neural network approach detailed in a Jan. 22 study greatly reduced reporting backlog by accurately triaging chest x-rays in real-time.

On Jan. 6, medical imaging and three-dimensional (3D) printing went above and beyond when Eduardo Rodriguez, MD, a plastic surgeon and face transplant specialist at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City, used the technologies to help him perform his third face transplant surgery, according to a recent report by Popular Science.

Researchers from the University of Queensland in Australia have developed “ultraprecise ultrasound” sensors that are sensitive enough to hear the formation of surrounding air molecules, according to new research published online Jan. 10 in Nature Communications.

Using 3D printing, researchers from the University of California San Diego created spinal cord implants modeled from MRI scans that support nerve cell growth in spinal cord injuries and help restore lost physical mobility, according to a new study published online Jan. 14 in Nature Medicine.

A novel imaging technique combining two microscopy methods allowed researchers to visualize neural circuits across the brain at four-times that of typical resolutions, according to research published Jan. 17 in Science. The approach can be completed much faster than previously thought possible.

“Knowing about the oxygenation (of tissues) might allow us to tailor the therapy to make it better and to use other therapeutic interventions that are more appropriate,” said Vikram Kodibagkar, PhD, an associate professor of engineering at Arizona State University in Tempe, according to a recent university news release.

A team at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) gained new insights into how the brain stores information related to time with the help of fMRI and HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
