Understanding Lumbar Spinal Stenosis with Neurogenic Claudication
What is Lumbar Spinal Stenosis? Lumbar spinal stenosis, or LSS, is a common condition in which the lower spinal canal narrows and compresses the nerves in the lower back. Lumbar spinal stenosis is generally caused by aging and natural wear and tear on the spine. With lumbar spinal stenosis, thickened ligament, overgrowth of bone, and/or bulging discs in the lower back put pressure on the ...

Mood enhancement and Neural Network Modulation with Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS)?
Depression and the vagus nerve Depression affects millions of people worldwide and constitutes a leading cause of disability. Although pharmacological interventions are available, many of them produce suboptimal outcomes due to high non-responsive rates or intolerable side effects. It has been estimated that between 20 to 40 per cent of patients either failed to respond to conventional ...

RADIUS - Developing new and improved MRI imaging protocols - Case Study
This study aims at developing new and improved MRI imaging protocols in order to obtain better quality images and improved/reduced scan time. We will also assess whether multi-parametric MRI imaging of multiple organs gives the same results when it is repeated on the same person after a period of time, and when it is performed on the same person in different MRI scanners. We hope that, by running ...

Early Detection Saves Lives KBCT Can Help
Despite breast cancer being the second most common cancer for women in the US, progress in the breast imaging space has been stagnant over the last few decades. This is evident in the countless women who are still misdiagnosed – either receiving a false positive or getting diagnosed in the later stages of the disease. Why Early Detection is Important According to the National Breast ...

Freehand Transperineal Biopsy
“Freehand transperineal biopsy” seems to be the latest buzzword in the urology world, and for good reason. Compared to transrectal, transperineal is proven to be the cleaner and ultimately safer approach for prostate biopsies. The support for transperineal is growing, as mounting evidence continues to debunk previous misconceptions of tolerability, feasibility and accuracy. We ...

Postoperative Spinal Instability at L3-4 Revealed by Upright Weight-Bearing MRI - Case Study
The patient was scanned in the FONAR Upright MRI in early 2002, one year after her spinal fusion. Both Upright and recumbent scans were performed on her in the multi-position FONAR Upright MRI. The recumbent MRI (left image) exhibited only a normal lumbar lordotic curve and a modest bulge of the L3-4 intervertebral disc, consistent with her prior recumbent MRI scan on a conventional MRI. The ...

Image is Everything: MRI and Helium Safety
MRI Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of a very large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to produce detailed, cross-sectional, and three-dimensional images of organs and structures within the body. An MRI scan is a valuable diagnostic tool that can show injuries or other anomalies that cannot be seen in a CT scan or X-ray. For instance, soft ...

Ensuring the safe use of MRI scanners
Hospitals throughout the world, working towards improving the lives and outcomes for cancer sufferers, are using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanners to diagnose and stage cancer in patients. Whilst the magnetic fields and radio waves used by MRI scanners pose no risk to humans, scanners’ cooling system potentially do, and careful installation and maintenance is essential to ensure ...
