Researchers at Oregon Health and Science University are using MRI to map patients’ “functional fingerprints,” or the connectomes that make their brains unique, Wired reported this week.

Facebook and the department of radiology at NYU School of Medicine in New York City have announced a new collaboration that will focus on using artificial intelligence (AI) to make MRI scans up to 10 times faster.

The County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust in England announced this week it had been spending between £2 million and £2.5 million—up to $3.2 million in U.S. dollars—each year to rent MRI scanning equipment from a private company, according to the Northern Echo.

When a woman presented with upper eyelid swelling and ptosis, doctors ordered a MRI to get a better look. The MRI revealed a cyst, and when that cyst was surgically removed, a rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens that had been missing for 28 years was found inside.

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have found that longer pelvic PET acquisition times during PET/MRI can improve the quality of care for patients with rectal cancer.

Analysis of major depressive disorder (MDD) has proven difficult in a climate where more and more patients are being diagnosed with the condition. But according to research out of China, MRI and its related modalities are doing a lot to help scientists understand the pathology behind MDD.

More children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) develop brain tumors than researchers previously believed, according to new research published in Neurology: Clinical Practice.

Researchers at ITMO University in Saint Petersburg, Russia, have developed an MRI coil that can produce images with three times the resolution of a commercial volume coil, according to a study published in NMR in Biomedicine. The team designed the coil for use in preclinical studies.
