MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

This study tested a new, fast MRI sequence called Neuromix in 32 children with suspected or confirmed brain tumors. The goal was to see if the quick scan works as well as the standard, longer MRI. If it does, it could make scanning easier and less stressful for children.

This study tested how well a special MRI scan (called multiparametric MRI) can tell if bladder cancer has grown into the muscle layer of the bladder. Researchers used a scoring system called VI-RADS to interpret the scans. The study included 60 people with bladder masses who were…

This study tested whether special MRI scans can better detect signs of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), also known as an eye stroke. Researchers enrolled 63 adults with CRAO and performed detailed brain and eye imaging. The goal was to find imaging clues that help diagnos…

This study looked at whether a new, high-resolution MRI can help doctors more accurately and confidently diagnose the cause of optic disc swelling (a sign of various eye or brain problems). Researchers used these detailed scans on 197 adults with optic disc swelling to see if the…

This study tested two different MRI sequences to see which one better detects active inflammatory lesions in the brains of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). 180 adults with known central nervous system inflammatory disease who needed an MRI after a recent clinical event took p…

This study tested whether a special MRI technique called 4D flow can accurately measure blood pressure in the lungs of people with pulmonary hypertension. 28 patients had both the MRI and the standard invasive catheterization to compare results. If the MRI proves reliable, it cou…

This study tested whether a new MRI technique using artificial intelligence (deep learning) can accurately measure heart function while patients breathe normally, instead of holding their breath. The standard method requires repeated breath-holds, which can be hard for people wit…

This study tested whether a newer type of MRI called 4D flow can more accurately measure leakage in the pulmonary valve and heart chamber size in people born with tetralogy of Fallot who had corrective surgery. Researchers compared 4D flow MRI with standard 2D MRI in 21 patients …

This study used existing MRI and CT scans from 150 healthy newborns to build a combined head template. MRI shows soft tissues well, while CT is better for bone and the soft spots (fontanelles) on a baby's skull. The goal is to create a single reference image that helps doctors mo…

This study tested whether a special MRI scan called IVIM can predict how well people recover three months after an acute ischemic stroke. Researchers added a two-minute scan to the standard MRI for 274 adults admitted with stroke. They then compared the scan results to the patien…

This study looked at how body temperature changes in children having an MRI scan while under sedation. Researchers measured the temperature of 285 children before and after the scan. They found that temperature can change, and they looked for factors that might predict these chan…

This study used brain scans to understand how speech therapy helps children with cleft palate who have trouble speaking clearly. Researchers looked at brain connections and structure before and after therapy in 164 children aged 4 to 16. The goal was to see if therapy changes abn…

This study looked at whether MRI scans can reliably find a torn disc in the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint). Researchers reviewed MRI images and medical records from 282 people to see how often disc tears occur and how they relate to pain, disc shape, and bone changes. The go…

This completed study looked at how children (ages 9-13) and adults (ages 18-50) respond to 12 weeks of resistance exercise using either flywheel or traditional weight stack machines. 91 healthy participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: flywheel training, weight …

This study uses MRI to measure how the brain moves inside the skull during gentle head motions, like turning your head while swimming. Researchers will scan 90 healthy adults aged 18-65 as they perform small, repeated head movements. The goal is to develop a fast imaging method t…

This study tested a new 4D MRI technique to create a 3D map of blood flow in the liver. 44 adults who had fasted for 6 hours took part. The goal was to see if this method could accurately measure blood flow through the liver's main vessels. The results could improve how doctors i…
