Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and other brain imaging technologies allow for the study of differences in brain activity in people diagnosed with schizophrenia. The image shows two levels of the brain, with areas that were more active in healthy controls than in schizophrenia patients s...
Topics include the difficulty in conducing MRI studies in China and various reasons for mistrust among citizens.LiJIAOEBSCO_AspScienceJiao, L., 2010. Fear of MRI scans trips up brain researchers. Science, vol. 327. AAAS, p. 931.
"There are MRI scans now that can detect brain atrophy even before people show symptoms of Alzheimer's disease," Yablonskiy said. "Our technique can show the brain degrading even before it begins to atrophy." The researchers are now working on applying their technique to brain diseases and d...

Approximately half of the MRI scans were acquired with a 1.5 T MR magnet Intera (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) and half with a 1.5 T MR magnet Achieva (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) with the following parameters for T1w: spin-echo; TE 15 ms; TR 540 ms; flip...
MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging which uses strong magnets and radiofrequency waves to produce detailed three dimensional images of the spine. MRI scans are the most sophisticated non-invasive diagnostic tool available to help doctors understand the underlying cause of your particular spine ...
CT (computed tomography) scans combine X-rays with computer technology. They're used mainly to look at structures deep inside your body like tumors or bone fractures, or for when doctors need to make an emergency diagnosis, as results can be had in as little as 10 minutes. CT scans are ...
600 MRI brain scans from healthy people between the age of 18 and 90 years old. They then used another 200 images to validate the process and tested theneural networkon 200 other images it had never seen to determine how well it could measure the brain. Their deep learning method is able...
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.
MRI scans of children aged 9 to 10 years with ADHD showed few differences in structural brain measurements compared to their unaffected peers, according to a study led by a Duke University School of Medicine researcher. While providing little evidence of brain differences that are identifiable by ...
