Investigators used MRI to evaluate brain perfusion in patients with transfusion-dependent (n=54) and non–transfusion-dependent (n=23) β-thalassemia versus 56 controls. They found that relative ...

For almost three decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been one of the main tools in brain research. Yet a new study published in Nature Neuroscience fundamentally challenges the ...

The Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research (CNIR) in the Institute of Basic Science (IBS), Suwon, Korea, is developing new neuroimaging approaches to explore biophysics, physiology, and biology, and ...

40% of functional magnetic resonance imaging reflect misleading blood flow and brain energy use, proposing improved diagnosis can be achieved from new methods.

CT perfusion and angiography failed to meet sensitivity and specificity thresholds to determine brain death. Neither should be used as standalone tests to establish death by neurologic criteria, the ...

The brain MRI is important for the diagnosis of prion disease for ruling out other possible etiologies, but it can also show features suggestive of prion disease. Brain MRI findings are found in most ...
