Researchers from UW-Madison have developed an MRI-based fat quantification method that separately measures brown adipose tissue (BAT) and white adipose tissue (WAT).

The health benefits associated with breast-feeding are many, including lower risk of SIDS, descreased cancer rates and stronger immune systems. A recent study used MRIs to show increased intelligence in premature babies who were breast-fed.

Hitachi Medical Systems America announced this week that it has released Evolution 5, a significant software upgrade to its Oasis 1.2T MRI systems. 

In the last 25 years, functional MRIs have become an important part of neurological research, as physicians and other scientists use its techniques to look inside the brain. But what if long-held assumptions about what is standard and how to correct for outliers have been wrong? 

MRI testing to prevent age fraud by youth soccer teams produced some shocking results. All but two players on the under-17 Nigerian squad were ineligible, leaving the team unable to play in an upcoming tournament.

A team of scientists who have developed nanoparticles capable of improving MRI signals tenfold, reports AZO Nano.

Researchers from the University of Houston have developed a high-temperature superconducting coil for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners that can lead to images with higher resolution when compared to conventional coils.

Researchers believe diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) has potential as a “rapid supplemental screening tool,” according to a study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. Their findings show that DWI can help radiologists see mammographically occult cancers in at-risk women with dense breasts.
