Medical Imaging

Image: Example of an MR image of a control subject’s brain on top and a chronic fatigue brain on bottom. The ventricles are larger in the chronic fatigue syndrome patient, and there is less white matter. Abnormal microstructure is present on one side in the white matter in chronic fatigue syndrome (Photo courtesy of Michael Zeineh, Stanford University).

Diffusion-Tensor MRI Shows Brain Abnormalities in Patients with Chronic Fatigue

Radiology researchers have discovered that the brains of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome have reduced white matter and white matter abnormalities in the right hemisphere of the brain. They used neuroimaging techniques to examine the brains of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and healthy people, and found distinct differences between the two groups.  More...

Ultrahigh-Field fMRI Reveals Language Hubs in the Brain in Great Detail

For the first time, new research has demonstrate that the areas of the brain that are important for understanding language can be targeted much more effectively using ultrahigh-field, 7 Tesla MRI technology than with standard clinical MRI scanners. This helps to protect these areas more effectively during brain surgery and avoid inadvertently damaging it.   More...
