Researchers set out to study patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using PET scans. They found that a greater imbalance between two neurochemical systems in the brain—serotonin and substance P—meant individuals were more likely to experience PTSD symptoms.

Aspect Imaging unveils WristView, a CE and FDA-cleared point-of-care compact MRI system for hand and wrist imaging that does not require a special RF-shielded facility, allowing patients to even use their mobile phones while getting an MRI scan

ROCHESTER, Minn. — Mayo Clinic’s 3-D anatomic modeling program started with a realization that surgeons needed a new way to look at human anatomy that went beyond two-dimensional images.

Researchers who led a new landmark clinical trail using carding MRI found that combining heart medication with chemotherapy reduces the risk of heart damage in patients with early-stage breast cancer.

Astronauts on extended missions know to expect visual impairment that could be serious and permanent if not treated quickly upon returning to earth. Researchers now know the cause of the unfortunately predictable—and potentially preventable—problem, according to study findings presented at RSNA. 

For years now, research has emerged to show the effects of playing football—including repetitive concussive and sub-concussive hits—may lead to major brain damage. Now, a new study further explores the topic and affirms that players in the National Football League (NFL) could be at a higher risk for brain injuries.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge in the U.K. have developed a new imaging technique that could help create treatments for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.

The shared environment of twins—possibly in utero as well as in childhood—ups the risk of brain incidental findings associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in both siblings even when only one of them has ASD, according to an MRI-based study published online Nov. 22 in Autism Research.
