A European research group has developed a system that allows doctors to both improve the accuracy of diagnosing malignant cells and to provide additional opportunities for cancer treatment. The magnetoferritin compound is the main element of the new system. The research article has been published in Advanced Functional Materials.
Researchers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum have analysed why certain people tend to put tasks off rather than tackling them directly. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), they identified two brain areas whose volume and functional connectivity are linked to an individual's ability to control their actions. The research team — headed by Caroline Schlüter, Marlies Pinnow, Ph.D., Prof. Onur Güntürkün, and Erhan Genç, Ph.D., from the Department of Biopsychology — published the results in the journal Psychological Science on Aug. 17, 2018.

RAD Women (#RADxx), a networking group for the advancement of women in radiology and imaging informatics, announced the opening of nominations for the 2018 RADxx Awards. The RADxx awards recognize the achievements of women in the field of medical imaging informatics, as well as anyone — both men and women — who have supported the career advancement of women in medical imaging informatics.
Philips recently announced the introduction of the Epiq CVx cardiovascular ultrasound system. Built on the Epiq ultrasound platform, Epiq CVx is specifically designed to increase diagnostic confidence and simplify workflow for clinicians, giving them more time to interact with their patients and reducing the need for repeat scans. According to Philips, 95 percent of a group of clinicians who were shown the new system believed it offered improved image quality: sharper and clearer images [1]. Philips is also introducing the Epiq CVxi, specifically tailored for use in the interventional lab. Both systems are CE marked and have received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Rice University nanoscientists have demonstrated a method for loading iron inside nanoparticles to create magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents that outperform gadolinium chelates, the mainstay contrast agent that is facing increased scrutiny due to potential safety concerns.
