Using computer-extracted features to improve prostate cancer diagnosis at MR imaging has powerful potential, but what features are best to discriminate cancer from benign disease?

Medical images are not just profoundly useful at advancing care, they can also be quite beautiful. An example of art meeting medical research was recently put on display at the Ars Electronica Center in Linz, Austria.

Drinking, smoking and chronic overeating are among the risky behaviors known to hurt not only the heart but also the brain. A new study combining cognitive testing with brain MRI provides a clearer picture of this gradual undoing of the mind in process.

Robot-assisted surgery and MR-guided procedures are two advances that are transforming medicine. The two are difficult to mix, however, given the strong magnetic fields of MRI scanners.

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has selected Cerner, which competed and successfully won an award, to replace the Military Health System's (MHS) existing anatomic pathology laboratory information system.

First they thought they were about to die in a plane that had lost all power over the Atlantic Ocean. Then they survived an emergency landing on a chancy island airfield.

The University of Illinois and Carle Health System have begun work on testing MR elastography (MRE) for those with epilepsy and brain tumors.

Researchers have integrated CT with 3D transesophageal echocardiography (3DTEE) to create a 3D model of a patient’s heart, marking the first time multiple modalities have been combined to support 3D printing.
