The work was conducted by the Martinos Center’s Tal Kenet, PhD, and colleagues.

Mass General Brigham is leading the way in clinical implementation of the imaging technology photon-counting computer tomography (PCCT), which offers significantly improved spatial, contrast and sometimes temporal resolution with respect to conventional CT systems.

Mass General researchers have outlined ways in which radiology departments can work to reduce their contribution to climate change.

Mass General researchers Daphne Holt, MD, PhD, Faye McKenna, PhD, and colleagues have identified a potential marker of loneliness, which could help understand the effects of loneliness on the body and even how to reverse them.

Michael S. Gee, MD, PhD, Camilo Jaimes, MD, and colleagues found in an international survey that use of non-sedation practices is nearly universal but the techniques employed varied widely and had different success rates.

Mass General researchers say that advances in ultrasound hardware, signal processing and more have led to exciting new quantitative tools that promise to increase the reliability of diagnosing hepatic steatosis.

The model is more likely than traditional breast cancer risk models to identify women who will benefit from supplemental screening with breast MRI.

The Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging has installed a state-of-the-art high-performance MRI scanner for imaging the human brain’s wiring.

Ultrasound-guided cryoablation offers a range of advantages over conventional approaches to treating breast cancer. In October 2023, Massachusetts General Hospital successfully introduced the technique into its clinical practice.

Barnaly Rashid, PhD, Steven E. Arnold, MD, and colleagues report that, across the adult lifespan, worse cardiometabolic health associates with dysregulated functional connectivity throughout the brain, including in higher-order brain networks vital to cognitive function.
