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.

Performing MRI scans within one month of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can yield important information about the patient’s neurocognitive and psychiatric health, according to research published in Journal of Affective Disorders.

Hands-on musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound workshops, utilizing a peer teacher-led small group format, are effective in teaching scanning skills to residents, according to new research published in Academic Radiology. This method helps residents acquire and retain skills, while also improving confidence when performing and interpreting such exams.

Some break-ups are just so traumatic, a person can’t even see the point of getting out of bed. But one musician looked to neuroscience and fMRI to help stop a heavy heart from keeping her down.

Australia’s federal government is allocating approximately $125 million ($175 million Australian) for MRI. Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Health Minister Greg Hunt both back the funding and believe it will result in improved diagnosis and treatment.

The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) has published a new white paper, Radiologic Technologist Best Practices for MR Safety, designed to help MR technologists provide the safest patient care possible.

Mudgee Radiology, an Australian radiology practice, is offering to scan strawberries after needles were found in a handful, leading to a national fruit contamination scare.
