Deep learning boosts MRI detection of ADHD

Deep learning can boost the power of MRI in predicting attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Robots with tiny lasers could soon erase regrettable tattoos

Researchers are using laser scalpels and precision robotics to make tattoo removal faster, more accurate and less painful.

Robotic system for endovascular instrument guidance

Researchers have developed a new method to guide endovascular instruments into complex vascular structures that were inaccessible to endovascular surgeons until now.

Neurons that map memories identified using VR

Scientists correlate neuronal activity in the human entorhinal cortex with place-based memories; finding sheds new light on how the brain processes spatial memory.

Facial recognition software IDs individuals from MRI scans

Though identifying data typically are removed from medical image files before they are shared for research, a study finds that this may not be enough to protect patient privacy.

‘Uncanny Valley’: Brain network evaluates robot likeability

Scientists have identified mechanisms in the human brain that could help explain the the unsettling feeling we get from robots and virtual agents that are too human-like.

3D printed baby dummy for resuscitation training

A researcher developed a 3D printed baby dummy, based on an MRI scan of a real newborn baby, which could improve the training of the reanimation procedure.

Technology pinpoints biopsies to detect prostate cancer

Medical software that overlays tumour information from MRI scans onto ultrasound images can help guide surgeons conducting biopsies and improve prostate cancer detection.

MURAB: Roboter-assisted diagnostic of breast cancer

The Murab project is developing technology that will make it possible to take more accurate biopsies and diagnose cancer and other illnesses faster.

AI may help reduce gadolinium dose in MRI

Researchers are using artificial intelligence to reduce the dose of a contrast agent that may be left behind in the body after MRI exams, according to a study presented at RSNA.
