Imaging Test May Predict Patients Most at Risk of Some Heart Complications from COVID-19
Researchers have shown that a type of echocardiogram may be useful in predicting which patients with COVID-19 are most at risk of developing atrial fibrillation—an irregular heartbeat that can increase a person’s risk for heart failure and stroke, among other heart issues.

Research Confirms MRI Effectiveness in Detecting Early Recurrent Breast Cancer
The research, published in Radiology, concluded that breast MRI has been shown to improve the early detection of recurrent breast cancers that may be missed by mammography.
Study Sheds Light on Treatment Options for Devastating Childhood Brain Cancer
A new study suggests that children with what is called “average risk medulloblastoma” can receive a radiation “boost” to a smaller volume of the brain at the end of a six-week course of radiation treatment and still maintain the same disease control as those receiving radiation to a larger area.

Largest-ever Preadolescent Brain Activation Study Reveals Cognitive Function Maps
Youth brain activation data from the largest longitudinal neuroimaging study to date provides valuable new information on the cognitive processes and brain systems that underlie adolescent development and might contribute to mental and physical health challenges in adulthood.

MR Study Shows Adaptive Brain Response to Stress
An MR spectroscopy study identifies a novel biomarker indicating resilience to chronic stress. This biomarker is largely absent in people suffering from major depressive disorder, and this absence is further associated with pessimism in daily life, the study finds.

New Imaging Method Predicts Chemotherapy Effectiveness After One Treatment
While early detection of breast cancer is critical, early prediction of how well the neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment before surgery is working also may provide a window of opportunity when treatment could be altered and have a big impact on the patient’s quality of life.

Imaging Shows Active Early Learning Shapes Adult Brain
An enhanced learning environment during the first five years of life shapes the brain in ways that are apparent four decades later, say Virginia Tech and University of Pennsylvania scientists.
