Researchers have created a new brain imaging method that allows mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) to be diagnosed, even when existing imaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) don't show any structural abnormalities. The technique involves loading gadolinium, a standard MRI contrast agent, into hydrogel-based micropatches that are attached to immune cells called macrophages.

Background: Sepsis remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality. It is well-established that earlier recognition and treatment can lead to better outcome for these patients . Time to antibiotic therapy (from triage, not from onset of infection) has become a quality metric to improve the time to administration of these medications. In an effort to administer antibiotics earlier, many studies have attempted to give antibiotics in the prehospital setting but the benefit of this int

In 2003, the Center for Molecular and Functional Imaging (CMFI) at China Basin Landing opened its doors with San Francisco’s first 3T MRI and two 1.5T clinical scanners, followed a few years later by a cyclotron which launched our in-house radiopharmaceutical program. Since then, the CMFI has been at the forefront of 3T research and major advances in theranostics and precision medicine.

MRI radiomics features can differentiate breast cancers based on human epidermal growth factor receptors (HERs), according to research published January 24 in the American Journal of Roentgenology. Researchers led by Yuqin Peng from Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou, Guangdong found that their nomogram based on MRI radiomics can distinguish HER2-zero from HER2-low or HER2-positives cancers, as well as HER2-low from HER2-positive cancers.

Overall cancer mortality continues to decline, but incidence rates are up, according to a January 17 report by the American Cancer Society (ACS). The report shows that there have been more than four million fewer deaths from cancer in the U.S. since 1991. However, it also showed increased incidence for six of the top 10 cancers as the projected number of new diagnoses is over two million for the first time.

We all know someone who's had a head injury that was 'only' a concussion, but even mild traumatic brain injuries can cause lasting damage, and the vast majority are never diagnosed. A team created a way to diagnose mild TBIs (mTBIs) even when MRI scans showed nothing, using the body's own immune cells called macrophages. They attached microparticle 'backpacks' containing a common MRI contrast agent to the cells, which migrated to the brain and allowed them to see evidence of inflammation in pigs
