Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Japanese Emperor Naruhito is set to take a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test in early November to check there is no disease in his prostate, the Imperial Household Agency (IHA) said in a statement on Monday.

Scientists have successfully mapped the surface of the cerebral cortex of the young human brain in impressively high resolution. The mapping, done using high-quality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, showed development in the key regions of the brain from two months before an individual's birth to two months after it.

A recent study by Georgia State University researchers suggests that frequent video game players reflect superior sensorimotor decision-making skills and enhanced activity in key regions of the brain as compared to non-players. For the findings, the authors used functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI).

IISc researchers have developed new Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-based machine learning algorithm to help to better understand and predict connectivity between different regions of the brain. The algorithm rapidly analyse the enormous amounts of data generated from diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) scans of the human brain.

The study used a new technique involving magnetic resonance imaging developed at Oregon Health and Science University.

Soft tissue sarcoma is diagnosed through a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to get a detailed view of the tumour. This is followed by a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and determine the type of tumour.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) can help to measure intelligence level in children, says study.

A radiologist of the Nair hospital was arrested in connection with the death of a man in a freak Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine accident at the facility on January 27, police said today.

An online journal named Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism conducted an observational study which stated that walnuts are the best cure to control hunger pangs. Researchers used the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to check how consuming walnuts affects the activity in the brain.

Scientists have developed a new method to make magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) multicolour to improve disease detection. The new method uses two agents at once, which could allow doctors to map multiple characteristics of a patient's internal organs in a single MRI.

"I figured out how to put basically the functionality of an MRI machine into a wearable in the form of a ski hat," said founder Mary Lou Jepson.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday narrated a bizarre tale from her experience with the health facilities in the city that gave her the shock of her life. An Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) conducted at a nursing home in the city displayed her appendix, which had been surgically removed years back.

Expectant parents may soon be able to watch their unborn baby grow and even listen to its heartbeat using a 3D virtual reality device, say scientists who have developed a new technology that creates a realistic model of the foetus using MRI and ultrasound data.

A follow-up study, conducted when participants were 25 to 29 years old, measured breast density by magnetic resonance imaging in 177 female participants.

Men have a more effective sense of direction and they get to their destination faster than women do, a new study has found.
