Quantitative, High-Resolution T1 Rho MRI Mapping Scan Reveals Brain Differences in Bipolar Disorder
Using a different sort of magnetic resonance imaging technology, researchers have discovered previously unrecognized differences in the brains of patients with bipolar disorder. In particular, the study revealed differences in the white matter of patients’ brains and in the cerebellum, an area of the brain not previously linked with the disorder. More...28 Jan 2015
New Hyperpolarizer Enables Users to Double Polarization Levels for MR Imaging of Lungs
New technology has been devised to generate hyperpolarized inert xenon gas, which is used in conjunction with standard magnetic resonance imaging to create high resolution three-dimensional images of the human lung. This technique is a novel way to track extremely small changes in lung structure and lung function, and is used in basic and clinical research to study lung physiology and to monitor the efficacy of new drugs.

Base of the Pyramid Digital Imaging System Built for Novel Telemedicine Applications
The remote Bayalpata Hospital in the mountains of Western Nepal has set up a system that will allow their physicians to digitize and send X-ray images to physicians in Grande hospital in Kathmandu for viewing and remote consultation. More...27 Jan 2015
Imaging Test Designed for Autism Spectrum Disorder
Scientists have developed a brain-imaging technique that may be able to identify children with autism spectrum disorder in just two minutes. Typically, diagnosis—an unquantifiable process based on clinical judgment—is time-consuming and tiresome on children and their families. That may change with this new diagnostic test.

Findings Reveal Health Information Exchange Decreases Repeat Imaging
The use of health information exchange systems to share reports on imaging tests, such as X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging scans, can help reduce the number of times patients undergo the precisely same test. A new study suggests that HIE technology that gives healthcare providers immediate, electronic access to a patient’s medical history may optimize the quality of care while slashing excessive costs.
