Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are trying to develop a treatment for those who have lost their ability to smell by studying how the brain changes when that sense is lost.

South Korean researchers found that preoperative axillary ultrasonography (US) can decipher which patients are least at-risk for non-sentinel lymph node (SLN) metastasis—possibly resulting in fewer unnecessary lymph node dissections.

Researchers have linked specific gene mutations and brain function in Huntington’s disease (HD) patients by comparing trinucleotide (CAG) repeats with whole-brain connectivity via functional MRI (fMRI). Examining disease carriers and health controls, the researchers found CAG repeat length inversely correlates with an individual’s age at onset.

An immediate MRI scan given to all men suspected of having prostate cancer may reduce the number of excessive biopsies by 28 percent, according to a March 19 article from The Telegraph.

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) may have the potential to replace drug therapy for cancer patients when combined with surgery, radiation therapy or chemotherapy, according to new research published online in the March-April 2018 issue of Radiographics.

A group of international researchers has developed a point-of-care device that may produce a consistent and cost-effective screening method for thyroid nodules.

A new portable brain imaging system developed at the University of Calgary in Canada uses infrared light sensors and computational assistance to determine the extent of damage and long-term consequences of concussions, according to a recent university news release.

A Pennsylvania woman was shocked when quoted $351 for a breast MRI from the Crozer-Keystone Health System, before being billed $4,650 for the exam.
