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 […]

Artificial intelligence (A.I) and natural language processing are making their way into the medical imaging field, and radiologists have mixed feelings on these developments because they might encroach on the invaluable human element of evaluating diagnostic images. The progression of artificial intelligence can be seen in virtual assistants and self-driving cars, while in healthcare it can […]
Lying perfectly still for an hour in a magnetic resonance imaging machine (MRI) isn’t anyone’s idea of fun. But for some patient populations, such as those suffering from the tremors that come with Parkinson’s disease, it’s practically impossible. Using a $2.1 million grant from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a team of […]
A CT scan is faster and less noisy than an MRI scan, but it uses nuclear radiation and is not as good at recording soft tissues in high definition.
You might be able to wear a MRI scanner in the not so far future as a BCI in the form of a LCD lined ski hat.
