New research shows that AI can detect cancerous tumors in MRI brain scans that doctors often miss because of how small they ...

Radiation-free imaging Pioneering MRI method captures brain glucose metabolism without the need to administer radioactive substances. (Courtesy: Medical University of Vienna) Mapping the uptake of ...

By boosting the power of the laser (within safe limits) and improving the light-collection setup, scientists managed to ...

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

In this setting the reliability of biopsy, which should enable a distinction between recurrence and damage from radiation, is compromised because this tumor type is heterogeneous; spectroscopy MRI ...

Also, DIPG tumor cells spread into areas with healthy brain cells. It’s hard to remove all the cells. Any that are missed will start to grow again later and form new tumors.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become an increasingly common treatment for patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease, but the procedure still carries significant risks. A new probe that performs ...

A 2022 study investigated the accuracy with which doctors interpret MRI scans of brain tumors in children. Overall, the accuracy of reports was good, with 72.55% of 550 scans reaching the correct ...

Karla Flores was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. A misplaced MRI found a second, nearly inoperable, tumor on her spine.
