Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) News and Research

RSS

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a large magnet and radio waves to look at organs and structures inside your body. Health care professionals use MRI scans to diagnose a variety of conditions, from torn ligaments to tumors. MRIs are very useful for examining the brain and spinal cord. Also called: Magnetic resonance imaging, NMR, Nuclear magnetic resonance.

Innovative machine learning technique transforms MRI imaging efficiency

Using smartly trained neural networks, researchers at TU Graz have succeeded in generating precise real-time images of the beating heart from just a few MRI measurement data. Other MRI applications can also be accelerated using this procedure.

American football head impacts tied to increased brain damage and cognitive decline

Repetitive head impacts in former American football players are linked to increased perivascular space volume, which correlates with cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. The study suggests that the force of head impacts may be more critical than frequency, with potential protective effects from β-blocker use.
