The heart-based risk information was taken from colorectal cancer screening exams and beat out the Framingham risk score and body mass index.

These new recovery milestones will allow clinicians to pinpoint whether or not a patient is responding to therapy or making the necessary strides toward rehabilitation.

The discovery came after researchers combed through hundreds of brain scans and found that nearly 40% of patients did not have the reduced gray matter volumes typically seen in those with the disorder.

This information can help clinicians adjust the quantitative standards used to asses how a patient's heart is functioning.

Purdue University engineers believe their novel radio-frequency coils could greatly improve diagnostic imaging and other medical testing.

“Given the potential impact diagnostic errors can have on patient outcomes, new AI tools and technology that can assist radiologists may be of great value as clinicians strive to continuously decrease error rates and improve patient care,” researchers wrote in Academic Radiology.

Babies who suffer from a lack of oxygen are often treated using whole-body cooling in order to save brain tissue, but until now it's been difficult to determine how this therapy actually impacts the organ.

Volunteers reported feeling less stressed after three months of Transcendental Meditation, and fMRI offered an important clue as to why, researchers reported in Brain and Cognition.
