The Bottom Line Investigators used MRI to evaluate brain perfusion in patients with transfusion-dependent (n=54) and non–transfusion-dependent (n=23) β-thalassemia versus 56 controls.

A new technology that uses clinical MRI machines to image metabolic activity in the brain could give researchers and clinicians unique insight into brain function and disease, researchers at the ...

Thanks to a new technique, neurosurgeons at UMC Utrecht have been able to watch the blood flow in brain tissue live during ...

Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Figure: Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a case of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (MV1-2). Hyperintensity is seen ...

Brain aneurysms can be fatal and may be difficult to detect. Medical scans such as MRIs and other tests with contrast can help doctors determine the presence, location, and shape of brain aneurysms.

By comparison, conventional MRI machines in wide use in hospitals today are usually 1.5 or at most 3 T. The main benefit of that extra power is that much higher resolution images of the brain can ...

The images weren’t as stark as those scanned with a 3-T MRI, but most of the key pathologies were still picked up in all patients. The team says that these portable, ultra-low field MRI machines ...

MRI scans have allowed researchers to peer inside the human brain. And the technology is great at revealing damage from a stroke, or areas that light up when we see a face.
