Kid K. has some problems with his left elbow. He is scheduled to undergo a precautionary MRI.

(Nashua, NH) – Imaging agents that can work at the cellular level are positioned to propel noninvasive diagnostics into a new era. These molecular imaging agents can associate with highly specific markers on the surface of cells to provide unparalleled specificity, creating new opportunities for visualization, targeted drug delivery, and mapping physiological changes over time.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful noninvasive tool for studying brain activity in both humans and experimental animals. Most fMRI studies are carried out on adults, but this technique also has great potential for studying early brain development.

For the first time, researchers have identified structural damage to the lungs caused by secondhand cigarette smoke.

Applied Data Research Analyzes Recent Advances and Healthcare Impact

A guideline developed by the American Academy of Neurology recommends immediate brain CT scans to screen certain emergency room patients with seizures. Evidence shows such scans can help doctors select the right treatment option.

Moderate to severe chronic liver disease can be predicted with the use of diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), according to a recent study conducted by researchers at New York University Medical Center in New York, NY.

Adding ultrasound to mammography finds more cancers than mammography alone, but also substantially increases the number of false positives, according to first-year results from a three-year study of the two tests.

Implementation of the Physical Agents (Electromagnetic Fields) Directive 2004/40/EC in all Member States could effectively halt the use of magnetic resonance imaging MRI), an important tool in cancer diagnosis, treatment, and research, a scientist told a press conference at the European Cancer Conference (ECCO 14), monday September 24.

When powerful magnets line up the body’s protons before radiofrequency waves can grab their attention away, it’s called spin physics.
