| Using MRI, researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have devised a technique that reveals the type and number of brain cells present. They can also detect where cells have been lost through injury and disease.

| Burnout is a common topic in healthcare, especially radiology. But what, exactly, defines “burnout”? A systematic review published Sept. 18 in JAMA found wide variability in estimating rates of burnout. Researchers also differed on defining the condition and assessing its impact.
