The power of a baby's kick in the womb packs more of a punch than you would think. A recent study published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface used MRI of fetuses and computer models to track and calculate the force of a kick and the stresses it puts on the fetal skeleton.  

Secondary lesions in breast cancer patients occur at varying rates—some individuals remain in a latent asymptomatic state without metastases longer than others.

Cerveau Technologies Inc. today announced an agreement with the University of Pittsburgh to support multiple projects over the next several years. These research projects are for studies of an early stage imaging agent ([18F]MK-6240) to be used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans for assessing the status and progression of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain. NFTs made up of aggregated tau protein are a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers from the Boston University School of Medicine have found evidence of CTE in young athletes’ brains without signs of concussion, indicating the condition is directly tied to head impacts—but not necessarily concussive hits.

Imaging centers across the country are adding three-dimensional (3D) mammography to the traditional 2D offering for its proven ability to better detect cancers. But, what’s less understood is its accuracy in detecting more advanced forms of cancer.

By 2030, an estimated 65.7 million people are predicted to be affected by Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a 30 million person jump from today’s total. But, there’s increasing evidence that biomarkers coupled with the correct imaging technique may provide crucial insights into the disease.

A new study published in the January issue of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine has shown that a 3D Doppler ultrasound can more accurately determine altered fetal growth restriction (FGR) in fetuses vulnerable to developing abnormal cerebral vascular flow patterns than a standard 2D Doppler ultrasound.  

According to a new analysis of data from the American College of Radiology (ACR) CT Dose Index Registry (DIR), pediatric body CT scans in the U.S. are becoming increasingly more popular among older children.
