ViosWorks, GE Healthcare’s new 7D Flow CMR study that can be completed in 10-20 minutes without breath-holds, could benefit the healthcare system as a whole through a direct reduction in imaging costs due to shorter scan times as well as savings from delivery of appropriate therapies.
See how SilentScan, GE’s sound reduction technology that reduces scan noise to within 3 decibels of ambient room noise, is used by a facility that images a significant volume of pediatric patients to boost confidence in report findings and improve image quality.
Learning a second language is easier for some adults than others, and innate differences in how the various parts of the brain "talk" to one another may help explain why. These findings come from a study published January 20 in the Journal of Neuroscience.

New research may allow more effective and safer pain medications to reach patients who suffer from chronic pain sooner. According to a recent study published in Anesthesiology, the official medical journal of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), using functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) to measure the brain’s neural response to pain may be a viable tool for evaluating the effectiveness of new pain medications during the early stages of human drug development. This could provide the needed objective evidence to prevent the premature discarding of potentially beneficial therapies.
