Neuroscientists from the University of Cambridge have identified apathy as an important early sign of dementia. The research finds apathy is distinct from depression, and offers a more accurate longitudinal association with the onset of dementia.

The human brain reacts completely differently to a threat that invades your personal space compared to those that are further away, according to a new study that combined MRI scans with VR technology.

An emerging method is adapting x-ray to image soft tissue, so that its higher resolution can reveal tumors earlier than MRI or ultrasound. And now, researchers have taken the first image using the new x-ray method, as a proof of concept.

New research has analyzed hundreds of brain scans from patients with schizophrenia revealing two distinct subtypes with differences in gray matter volumes, busting the previously held notion that all schizophrenia patients' brains are the same.

Researchers are reporting the development of a new imaging method to detect metastatic cancer in the liver. The MRI method could be applied to a number of other cancers, offering an entirely novel way to detect metastatic disease at its early stages.

MRI is a great tool for diagnosing disease, but it can be costly and cumbersome. Now, engineers at Boston University have developed a new device, small enough for a patient to wear inside the machine, that could boost the signal and provide higher-resolution images at lower magnetic strengths.

Artificial Intelligence promises to revolutionize many fields, but few as important as healthcare. With that in mind, Nvidia and King's College London have teamed up to build and train an AI platform to interpret radiological scans for hospitals across the UK.

Researchers in Vienna are making some promising progress in the field of breast cancer detection, developing a new method that revolves around a waistcoat packed with flexible radio frequency coils.

​A new study has scanned the brains of different patients, from healthy individuals to those in vegetative states, and identified four different neural activity patterns that span consciousness to unconsciousness.

A new study suggests an MRI scan can predict whether a person will develop dementia up to three years before any cognitive symptoms are detectable. It's hoped the tool will be able to better identify at-risk patients so preventative measures can be deployed to slow the onset of neurodegeneration.

Marijuana compounds like cannabidiol (CBD) have been found to impart benefits to the brain without the negative “stoned” side-effects. Now, researchers at King’s College London have shown that CBD could help reset the brain abnormalities found in people suffering from psychosis.

The NYU School of Medicine's Department of Radiology is joining forces with Facebook's Artificial Intelligence Research group on a project aiming to utilize AI to dramatically speed up the time it takes to complete a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
