MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

This study aimed to find out which of two advanced types of 3 Tesla MRI brain scans is better at detecting active, inflamed lesions in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers compared two specific scanning techniques in 180 adults with MS who needed a brain scan for thei…

This study tested whether new, high-resolution MRI scans could help doctors more accurately diagnose the cause of optic disc swelling. Optic disc swelling is a sign seen at the back of the eye that can be caused by many different eye or brain conditions. Researchers enrolled 197 …

This study tested whether a special type of MRI scan (called 4D flow MRI) could accurately measure pressure in the lung arteries of people with pulmonary hypertension. Researchers compared the MRI results against the current standard invasive test (right heart catheterization) an…

This study tested whether a new AI-powered MRI method could make heart scans easier and more accurate for patients with ischemic heart disease. Instead of requiring patients to hold their breath, the new method lets them breathe normally during the scan. Researchers compared the …

This study developed new MRI techniques to measure how the brain moves and deforms during mild head motions in healthy volunteers. Researchers scanned 101 healthy adults aged 18-65 while they performed controlled head movements in an MRI machine. The goal was to create detailed 3…

This study tested a new type of MRI scan designed to create a detailed 3D map of blood flow through the liver's vessels. Researchers enrolled 44 healthy adults to see if this new method could accurately measure how much blood flows into and out of the liver. The goal was to impro…

This study used brain scans to understand why speech therapy is often difficult for children with cleft palate who have a specific speech disorder called compensatory articulation. Researchers compared brain images from children with the speech disorder, children with cleft palat…

This study aimed to understand how weight training affects muscle growth in children compared to adults, and to check if it is safe for children's developing bones. Healthy children (9-13 years) and adults (18-50 years) were assigned to either a control group, a traditional weigh…

This study used detailed MRI brain scans to learn more about central retinal artery occlusions, a sudden blockage in the eye's main artery that causes vision loss. Researchers scanned 63 adults who had just experienced this 'eye stroke' to look for specific signs on the images. T…

This study used MRI scans to look at damage (perforations) in the disc of the jaw joint (TMJ) in 282 patients. Researchers wanted to see how this damage connects to other joint problems, bone changes, fluid in the joint, and factors like age and pain levels. The goal is to better…

This study aimed to understand how children's body temperatures change when they undergo MRI scans while sedated. Researchers measured ear temperatures in 285 children before and after their scans to see if they got warmer or cooler. They looked at factors like the child's age, h…
