Researchers to use MRI for epilepsy surgery decision-making
Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), Vanderbilt University, and University of Pennsylvania researchers received a $3.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to collaborate on the development of new brain network-based tools for epilepsy surgery decision-making.VUMC said current clinical tools guiding surgical decisions are limited, in part because of an incomplete understanding of brain connectivity patterns in focal epilepsy. The newly funded project will combine MRI structural and functional connectivity analyses with intracranial recordings and neurostimulation measures. The goal is to devel...

International researchers begin testing new MRI-guided proton therapy
Researchers at Dresden University Medical Center in Germany are partnering with OncoRay's National Center for Radiation Research in Oncology on proton therapy research using a full-body MRI-guided proton therapy machine.
Under the collaboration, scientists in medicine, medical physics, biology, and engineering will test a new form of radiotherapy for treating cancer. The machine is designed to rotate around the patient for real-time imaging and proton beam radiation therapy using innovative types of patient positioning in both lying o upright positions, according to the researchers.
“This new prototype with integrated ...
