"A new study reveals that impaired brain fluid flow in regions opposite the tumor predicts shorter survival in glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. Using advanced MRI techniques, researchers found that dysfunction of the brain’s clearance system, known as the glymphatic system, may worsen patient outcomes. These findings suggest that monitoring whole-brain fluid dynamics could help personalize treatments and identify new targets to restore brain health."

"NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 10, 2025 — Chest pain may still be angina even when coronary angiogram testing shows the main heart arteries look clear. Using stress cardiac stress MRI testing to measure blood flow around the heart appears to improve diagnosis and patient quality of life. These finding were shared at a late-breaking science presentation today at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025. The meeting, Nov. 7-10, in New Orleans, is a premier global exchange of the latest scientific advancements, research and evidence-based clinical practice updates in cardiovascular science."

"Whiplash injuries, commonly caused by car accidents, can lead to long-term pain and discomfort if not diagnosed correctly. While whiplash might seem like a straightforward neck injury, the symptoms can vary, and the damage isn’t always visible on traditional diagnostic imaging. That’s where Upright MRI technology comes in. For years, conventional MRIs have been the gold standard in diagnosing injuries, but they have limitations when it comes to detecting injuries like whiplash. By allowing patients to be scanned in an upright position, Upright MRIs provide a more accurate view of the injury’s impact, offering a significant advantage for those dealing with whiplash-related conditions."

"Scientists have discovered that poor sleep can limit the brain’s ability to clear toxins, raising the risk of dementia.

A study — published in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association — analyzed MRI scans from 40,000 adults in the UK Biobank, focusing on the glymphatic system. In a healthy brain, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced and flows through the glymphatic system, collecting waste and toxins and clearing them out of the brain."

"New imaging data offer clues that could help predict the development of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), potentially leading to in vivo treatment options.

Currently, CTE can only be diagnosed post-mortem via brain tissue assessment during an autopsy. This makes understanding how the neurodegenerative condition manifests in living individuals difficult, which hinders medical experts' ability to develop treatment strategies.

However, new data published in Brain Communications suggest certain in vivo MRI findings in individuals who have participated in contact or collision sports could be indicative of early onset CTE. "

"Early detection and ongoing monitoring of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) could be assisted with standard MRI scans of a person’s tongue, research led by The University of Queensland has found.

Research led by Dr Thomas Shaw from The University of Queensland’s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science found people living with MND who have difficulty speaking or swallowing tend to have smaller tongue muscles, which could provide an early indication of neurodegenerative disease."
