"Every year, hundreds of thousands of children around the world undergo magnetic resonance imaging, and a large fraction of them cannot simply lie still long enough for the scanner to do its work. For infants, toddlers, and many school-aged children, the solution is sedation or anesthesia, most commonly with the intravenous drug propofol. A new retrospective study from Massachusetts General Hospital, published in Pediatric Radiology, has now quantified something that radiologists and anesthesiologists have long suspected but rarely measured with precision: the operational choices made when designing an MRI protocol directly determine how long a child stays under, and therefore how much anesthetic drug that child receives."

A study of 2,149 pediatric MRI exams shows that multi-region protocols and contrast imaging lengthen scan time and that every extra ten minutes under the scanner adds 0.71 mg/kg of propofol exposure,

"MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - New technology has arrived at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital that will drastically enhance precision and improve outcomes for pediatric brain surgeries once installation is complete.

The new mobile 3 Tesla intraoperative MRI scanner was delivered to Le Bonheur over the weekend as part of the hospital’s new IMRIS Surgical Theatre.'

"Low-dose radiation therapy may do more than relieve pain from early knee osteoarthritis, with a long-term analysis suggesting it could also influence how the disease progresses. The findings come from a new integrated analysis of a randomized trial conducted in Russia that followed nearly 300 patients for almost 12 years."

"New research suggests that brain MRI surveillance alone may facilitate significantly improved cognition preservation in contrast to the combination of brain MRI and prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC).

For the randomized phase III study, which was recently presented at the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Annual Meeting, researchers reviewed data for 304 patients who received initial treatment for SCLC. The study authors noted that 68 percent of the cohort had limited-stage (LS) SCLC and 32 percent had extensive-stage (ES) SCLC. Cognitive testing of the cohort included the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised, Controlled Oral Word Association, and Trail Making Test, according to the researchers."

For patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), there was a 40 percent improvement in cognitive failure-free survival (CFFS) with brain MRI alone in comparison to the combination of brain MRI and prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI), according to research presented at the ASTRO conference.

"Your eyes may reveal more about your brain than you think. Early research from Rutgers University suggests that tiny abnormalities in the blood vessels of your eyes could signal early changes in the brain linked to dementia, potentially years before symptoms appear. While this research is still ongoing, scientists are hopeful that one day, eye imaging could help identify people at risk for cognitive decline. Here's what you need to know."

"Breast cancer screening is an important part of healthcare for women and people assigned female at birth, but it can be confusing to know when to start and how often to get screened.

The National Comprehensive Cancer Network, for example, recommends that women of average risk (or who don’t know their risk) start screening annually at age 40. But the American College of Physicians released new guidelines this year recommending women get breast cancer screenings every two years starting at age 50.

What are you supposed to believe?"

"Results from the international phase 3 SWOG S1827 MAVERICK trial show that brain MRI surveillance alone improved cognitive failure-free survival compared with MRI surveillance plus prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). The findings support MRI surveillance alone as the standard of care for patients with SCLC, according to research presented at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) 2026 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC)."
