MRIs are more accurate at catching breast cancer at a small size than a mammogram and are especially great for people who have dense breast tissue. Hawasli explained that for those in the high-risk group, meaning their lifetime risk is greater than 20%, MRIs have been shown to improve sur...

This functional connectivity map, a kind of “fingerprint” of the brain, displays how different regions interact with each other in 12-year-olds. The map was constructed from resting-state MRIs, where participants were lying down and not completing a task. Larger red circles ...
