A wearable ultrasound monitor can provide insight into dynamic muscle movement during activities like jumping. Credit: Parag Chitnis Millions suffer from musculoskeletal injuries every year, and the recovery process can often be long and difficult. Patients typically undergo rehabilitation, slowly rebuilding muscle strength as their injuries heal. Medical professionals routinely evaluate a patient’s progress via…
Quing Zhu, working with Matthew Powell, MD, and Cary Siegel, MD, from the School of Medicine, developed a new imaging method to better diagnose lesions in the ovaries and adjacent adnexa that may help to avoid unnecessary surgeries. This image shows a woman with pelvic mass and BRCA1 mutation. The arrows point to the right…

by Carla K. Johnson A radiologist uses a magnifying glass to check mammograms for breast cancer in Los Angeles, May 6, 2010. Annual mammograms are now recommended indefinitely for breast cancer survivors in many countries including the United States. Now a large British study finds that less frequent screening is just as good. The findings…
Super-resolution reconstruction of Thy1-ChR2-EYFP using DL-AO through a 250-μm-cut brain section resolving the ultrastructural details of dendrites and spines. Researchers at Purdue University and Indiana University developed deep-learning-driven adaptive optics for their imaging system. Credit: (Purdue University /Peiyi Zhang) Artificial intelligence is finding more and more applications every day. One of the newest is in…
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Women 50 or older who de-escalated to less-frequent mammography three years after curative surgery for early-stage breast cancer had similar outcomes to women who received annual mammography, according to results from the Mammo-50 trial presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, held December 5–9, 2023. Both U.S. and U.K. guidelines…
Ida Blystad, neuroradiologist, and her colleagues examine the brain using MRI. The MRI scans were performed at the Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization in Linköping. Credit: Emma Busk Winquist/Linköping University Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have examined the brains of 16 patients previously hospitalized for COVID-19 with persisting symptoms. They have found differences…

The paper was published today in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. “Self-scheduling helps make the path…
by KeAi Communications Co. Interstitial flow velocity-MRI has the potential to determine interstitial fluid flow velocity non-invasively and exhibits an intuitive velocity map. Credit: Jun Zhao, Yupeng Cao, Wentao Liu, Dong Han Interstitial fluid flow is closely related to drug delivery and distribution, playing a crucial role in their therapeutic effects on tumors. However, few…
