Levels of iron in the brain could be a warning sign of future Alzheimer’s disease, a new study suggests. High levels of the chemical element have been shown to increase brain toxins and trigger ...

Brain aneurysms are potentially fatal and can be difficult to detect. Medical imagery such as MRIs and other tests involving contrast can help doctors determine the presence, location, and shape of ...

The world’s most powerful MRI machine has started proving its worth, by scanning living human brains. The resulting images give an ultra high resolution glimpse into the brain, which will help us ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines can clearly view non-bony parts of the body—soft tissue such as the brain, muscles and ligaments—as well as detect tumors, making it possible to diagnose many ...

An intense international effort to improve the resolution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for studying the human brain has culminated in an ultra-high resolution 7 Tesla scanner that records up to ...

Fifty years on from American chemist Pal Laterbur detailing the first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), scientists have marked this historic medical anniversary with the sharpest-ever scans of a mouse ...

A new AI-assisted brain atlas that can help visualize the human brain in unprecedented detail has been developed by UCL researchers, in a major step forward for neuroscience and neuroimaging. The ...

Summary: Advanced imaging reveals that COVID-19 may cause lasting brain changes, even in people without ongoing symptoms, pointing to hidden neurological effects that could persist long after recovery ...

COVID-19 does not just affect the respiratory system, but also significantly alters the brain in people who have fully recovered from the infectious disease, highlighting the long-term neurological ...

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 ...

Doctors may use an MRI scan to detect a brain aneurysm in specific cases. MRI scans and other imaging techniques can help detect a brain aneurysm and reveal its shape and precise location. A brain ...
