It has been discovered two distinct parts of the human brain—the neocortex and the hippocampus (a part of the brain involved in higher-order brain functions) – have been shown to help protect our memories from interfering with one another. With that information in mind, a group of Researchers from the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging […]

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines have undoubtedly been very helpful for doctors to diagnose any current/potential health issue that’s ailing patients, but unfortunately, even the smallest mistake/misstep could potentially cause various unwanted accidents that can be fatal to patients. In addition, the MRI scan room is proven to be the most dangerous room in every […]
Following the improvements of imaging technology, researchers around the world are competing in a race to unfold the maximum capability of an imaging system in a variety of creative ways. Latest studies show that imaging calcium in brain cells can reveal how neurons communicate with each other; however, current imaging techniques can only penetrate a […]
Getting an MRI scan means being completely still in a noisy, claustrophobia-inducing tube. It is considered a fact that many people, including children, don’t like the experience. So, in order to make these diagnostic tools run even faster, researchers are exploring & incorporating a new tactic: using artificial intelligence to take the raw data generated […]
It is known to many people that MRI systems make a bunch of terrible noises that often scares people who’re about to take their MRI scan for the first time. A brilliant story from Doug Dietz, the creator of the MR Adventure Discovery Series. A young patient was coming into the MR room to be […]
The use of MRI to determine heart function has been slow to catch on, but a study from Duke Health researchers shows that stress cardiac MRI not only diagnoses disease but can also predict which cases are potentially fatal. Results from a large, multi-center study suggest that Cardiac Magnetic Resonance, or CMR, has potential as […]
Before sliding into a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine, patients are supposed to remove all metal from their bodies: underwire, jewelry, piercings, everything. The machines work using extremely strong magnets, and there are all kinds of horror stories of people leaving metal in their skin or on their body, to disastrous effects. But it’s not just […]
Twenty-five percent of deaths in the United States are caused by cancer, and the number of incidences increases due to population growth, prolonged life expectancy, and an abundance of risk factors including smoking, a lack of activity, and obesity. A common feature of most tumors is a low level of oxygen, called hypoxia, the severity […]
On August 18, 1868, astronomers turned their telescopes toward a solar eclipse, not knowing they were about to expand the periodic table. Their goal was to discern the ingredients of solar prominences, the giant loops of glowing, electrified gas the sun occasionally belted out. When astronomers split the prominences’ light into its components, they detected some […]
Here is the thing, unless you like lying in tubes that make loud and mystifying noises, getting an MRI scan probably is not on the top of your list of ways to spend your free time. Unfortunately, sometimes getting an MRI (which stands for magnetic resonance imaging) is just a medically necessary evil. In that […]
