WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — The same technology behind MRI images of injury or disease also powers nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is used to analyze biological molecules for research ...

Levels of iron in the brain could be a warning sign of future Alzheimer’s disease, a new study suggests. High levels of the chemical element have been shown to increase brain toxins and trigger ...

Doctors may use an MRI scan to detect a brain aneurysm in specific cases. MRI scans and other imaging techniques can help detect a brain aneurysm and reveal its shape and precise location. A brain ...

An intense international effort to improve the resolution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for studying the human brain has culminated in an ultra-high resolution 7 Tesla scanner that records up to ...

The world’s most powerful MRI machine has started proving its worth, by scanning living human brains. The resulting images give an ultra high resolution glimpse into the brain, which will help us ...

November 30, 2006 (Chicago) -- Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) shows no advantages over magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) alone for localization of peripheral zone prostate cancer in ...

The brain MRI is important for the diagnosis of prion disease for ruling out other possible etiologies, but it can also show features suggestive of prion disease. Brain MRI findings are found in most ...

The evidence indicates that non-invasive monitoring (near-infrared spectroscopy; NIRS) of oxygen in brain tissue likely does not reduce death rates or short-term brain problems for very premature ...

Depression affects millions of people worldwide, but much is still unknown about this illness and treatments don't always work. Ph.D. candidate Jesper Pilmeyer examined patients' brains using MRI ...
