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...12 Nov 2014

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...12 Nov 2014

New Radiosurgery Technology Used to Treat Tumors Encroaching on Patient’s Spinal Cord
A 71-year-old man with a tumor encroaching on his spinal cord was among the first individuals to receive treatment using a new radiosurgery system. The radiosurgery platform provides clinicians with a rapid, precise, noninvasive alternative to traditional surgery. More...11 Nov 2014
Proton Therapy for Early Stage Breast Cancer Less Expensive Than Various Alternative Radiotherapy Techniques
