Two-dimensional (2-D) cranial ultrasound US is the principal method for the detection of cerebral injury in the newborn. The aim of this paper was to compare 2-D sonographic methods with more advanced 3-D magnetic resonance imaging MRI for assessing brain structure. From July 1998 to November 2000, they conducted a...
Magnetic resonance imaging MRI has been used as a research tool in evaluation of the female pelvic floor for over a decade. Early studies were limited because of poor resolution and long scan times, which prohibited evaluation of pelvic floor descent. During the past few years, the advent of surface...
This paper is on the pre-surgical evaluation of an aggressive vulvar angiomyxoma using MR based three-dimensional (3D) modeling. A graphics computer was used to outline the tumor and other soft tissue structures on axial T2-weighted MR images of the pelvic floor. Specialized software was then applied to the edited images...
Magnetic resonance MR imaging has opened up new avenues of diagnosis and treatment that were not previously available. There are a number of artifacts which can arise in the MR imaging process and make subsequent analysis more challenging. Probably the most drastic visual effect is the intensity in homogeneity caused...
Disruptions in connectivity between the frontal and temporal lobes may explain some of the symptoms observed in schizophrenia. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging MRI studies, however, have not shown compelling evidence for white matter abnormalities, because white matter fiber tracts cannot be visualized by conventional MRI. Diffusion tensor imaging is a...
The purpose of this paper is to assess the reproducibility and accuracy compared to radiologists of three automated segmentation pipelines for quantitative magnetic resonance imaging MRI measurement of brain white matter signal abnormalities WMSA. The addition of TDS to the EM segmentation and PVEC algorithms significantly improved the accuracy of...
Previous researches have noted functional and structural temporal lobe abnormalities in schizophrenia that relate to symptoms such as auditory hallucinations and thought disorder. The goal of this paper was to determine whether the functional abnormalities are present in schizophrenia at early stages of auditory processing. This result is consistent with...
This paper provides details by assessing ten prenatal magnetic resonance imaging MRI scans for fetal brain anomalies, and identified eight that were suitable for post-processing. Anatomical abnormalities were assessed on the three-dimensional (3D) models and compared with two-dimensional (2D) imaging findings. It calculated the volume of the intracranial ventricles and...
Magnetic resonance imaging MRI is the optimal imaging modality for neurosurgical applications due to its ability to elucidate central nervous system anatomy and pathology. Stereotactic systems employing MRI have enhanced the surgeon's ability to safely and efficaciously operate. A next step in the evolution of neurosurgery is to update the...
The goal of the Image Guided Therapy Program, as the name implies, is to develop the use of imaging to guide minimally invasive therapy. The program combines interventional and intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging MRI with high-performance computing and novel therapeutic devices. In clinical practice the multidisciplinary program provides for the...
Mental illnesses produce some of the most challenging health problems faced by society, accounting for vast numbers of hospitalizations, disabilities resulting in billions in lost productivity, and sharply elevated risks for suicide. Scientists have long known that these potentially devastating conditions arise from combinations of genes and...

Acupuncture on pain-relief points cuts blood flow to key areas of the brain within seconds, providing the clearest explanation to date for how the ancient technique might relieve pain and treat addictions, a Harvard scientist reports today. Although researchers still don't fully understand how acupuncture works, "our...
Business Editors/Health/Medical Writers REDDING, Calif.--BUSINESS WIRE--Aug. 22, 2003 Redding Medical Center announced today that it has appointed a nationally recognized heart specialist as the medical director of its cardiovascular program and a veteran hospital executive as its new chief executive officer, as it...
Carol green was busy filling out medical-school applications several years ago when she had an epiphany. She could devote herself to a single healing tradition, she realized, or she could take a chance on something more inclusive. "I was interested in integrating Eastern and Western philosophies and finding...
BOSTON -- As intrauterine and neonatal surgery evolve, so will the utilization of fetal magnetic resonance imaging, Dr. Glare Tempany predicted at an ultrasound meeting sponsored by Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital. Currently, MRI is considered by the American College of Radiology to be "an...
Business Editors & Health/Medical Writers SAN DIEGO--BW HealthWire--May 23, 2001 Miracor Diagnostics Inc. (OTCBB:MRDG), a growing provider of Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI and other state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services, announced today that it has appointed Stephen McConnell to its board of directors. ...
Business Editors/Health & Medical Writers PALO ALTO, Calif.--BUSINESS WIRE--May 15, 2001 At its new Neuroimaging Center, which was dedicated today, McLean Hospital (Belmont, Mass.) has started research on causes and new treatment methodologies for chemical dependency and psychiatric disorders using a 4-Tesla (4T)...
No governments in Canada will admit healthcare is becoming inadequate Some see Vince Motta's death from acute appendicitis as a triple tragedy--tragic because the young man, only 24 and a student at Calgary's Mount Royal College, was struck down with...
Uterine fibroids, one of the most common noncancerous gynecological conditions occurring in reproductive-age women, are estimated to affect more than 1 out of 5 women under 50 and account for 3 out of every 10 hysterectomies performed annually in the United States. A fibroid, or...
