Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnetic fields to create images of the body that allow doctors to diagnose injury or illness more accurately. Susceptibility tensor imaging (STI), a specialized ...

GLASGOW — Doctors may be a step closer to peering deep into your brain to spot strokes or tumors without expensive MRI machines or invasive procedures. That’s because researchers at the University of ...

Detecting photons through an entire adult head explores the limits of photon transport in the brain, for access to regions of the brain currently inaccessible with noninvasive optical brain imaging.

GE HealthCare aims to provide neuroscientists and researchers with a clearer view into the human mind by using a specialized, “premium” MRI machine to help explore the brain’s structure and function.

Anyone who has ever had to get a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan knows that magnetic and highly conductive materials are a no-go in the tube-shaped scanners. However, for complex diagnoses and ...

New University of Sydney research reveals heading a soccer ball can subtly change brain chemistry and function. MRI scans and blood tests showed signs of brain cell disturbance despite no short-term ...

A new brain scan tool shows how quickly your body and mind are aging. It can spot early signs of diseases like dementia, long before symptoms begin. The scan looks at hidden clues in your brain to ...

For decades, scientists have used near-infrared light to study the brain in a noninvasive way. This optical technique, known as "fNIRS" (short for "functional near-infrared spectroscopy"), measures ...
