A new analysis of the literature on fMRI suggests that a shortcoming in the most popular software systems used to evaluate the imaging data—SPM, FSL and AFNI—may have caused all three to produce false positive findings at a 70 percent clip from 1992 to 2015. 

Engineers at the University of Stuttgart in Germany have designed an imaging system so tiny that it can be sent straight into human tissue.

Most articles in today’s radiology journals focus on specific case studies or problems facing the industry. A recent editorial published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, however, really caught my eye by taking a deeper, more philosophical approach.

Here’s a not-so-fun thought: our healthcare system is having a bad effect on the environment. It’s having a really bad effect, actually. 

Using CT scans to create a 3-D printout of a patient’s kidney for presurgical planning, a urologist and a radiologist at Intermountain Healthcare in Utah have led a care team in removing a complicated tumor while preserving the actual kidney.

Prior research has established that teenagers with type 2 diabetes have different gray-matter volumes and poorer cognitive function than their nondiabetic peers. A new MRI-based study at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center has imaged the particular regions in which the differences occur. 

Diffusion tensor MRI can be used to separate concussion patients who are likely to fully recover within a year from those who are likely to suffer longer-term effects, pointing to the most appropriate treatment pathways for each. 

Forgoing fMRI in favor of “hyperscanning” with near-infrared spectroscopy, or NIRS, Stanford researchers have uncovered intriguing differences in brain activity between males and females who have been asked to cooperate.
