Professor Andreas Fouras of Monash University has developed a four-dimensional lung scanning technology platform, helping physicians to detect abnormal lung functions early, reports News Medical.

Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Life Science Technology (CLST) have developed a new PET scan that is able to analyze neuron proliferation in the brain's subventricular and subgranular zones of the hippocampal dentate gyrus, the areas most affected by depression.

Oxygen, the air we breathe and the foundation of life, remains mysterious in terms of seeing it working through our tissues. That is until researchers developed a new tool to show us just how oxygen travels to our tissue.

A radiology team at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center is using advanced multiparametric MRI to diagnose difficult prostate cancers with upwards of 90 percent accuracy—and then perform targeted biopsies guided by MRI and ultrasound. 

The new method used to detect androgen receptors and active splice variants could mean better and faster care for patients suffering from prostate cancer. 

Aspect Imaging, a design and producer of MRI systems, have developed an MRI machine that is more compact than many contemporary machines.

A new analysis of big data largely based on thousands of MR and PET images has shown that changes in blood flow to and within the brain precede amyloid build-up in Alzheimer’s patients. 

Amplifying research from earlier this year showing that the anatomic effects of traumatic brain injury persist long after observable symptoms subside—potentially long enough to increase risk for Alzheimer’s—a new diffusion MRI study has shown white matter changes in the brains of athletes six months after a concussion event.
