Credit: RSNA/Alexander Rau, M.D. People with long COVID exhibit patterns of changes in the brain that are different from fully recovered COVID-19 patients, according to research being presented next week at the annual meeting of the Radiological...
by Radiological Society of North America Group analysis on susceptibility-weighted imaging exhibiting higher susceptibility-weighted imaging values in the COVID group when compared to healthy controls. Three significant clusters were found primarily in the white matter regions of the pre-frontal cortex and in the brainstem. The clusters (a) and (b) are observed bilaterally in the cerebral...

Credit: NIH Image Gallery A team of researchers in Australia and New Zealand has found that MRI scans can detect prostate cancer more accurately than the newer, prostate-specific -PSMA PET/CT scanning technique. The findings are being presented today at the European Association of Urology’s annual congress (EAU22), in...
by University of East Anglia Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Using MRI scans to detect heart failure could revolutionize how the condition is diagnosed, thanks to new research from the University of East Anglia and the University of Sheffield. Until now, the best way of diagnosing heart failure has been an invasive assessment, but it carries...
(HealthDay)—Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the hand and foot may predict rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in patients presenting with undifferentiated arthritis (UA), according to a study published online Jan. 12 in Rheumatology. Nikolet K. den Hollander, M.D., Ph.D., from the Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, and colleagues studied the predictive value of MRI for progression...
JANUARY 7, 2022 Researchers in Austria say a new MRI technique may lead to faster diagnosis and treatment for people with multiple sclerosis. The technique can detect biochemical changes in the brains of people with MS early in their disease, according to findings published Jan. 4 in the journal Radiology. “MRI of neurochemicals enables the detection...
Bad news for anyone with allergies: You should should stop rubbing your eyes ASAP. Daniel Gatinel, an ophthalmologist and head of the anterior and refractive surgery department of the Rothschild Foundation, took an MRI of a healthy patient rubbing their eyes to see if it might cause certain eye conditions.
