MRI finds brain changes in boys who faced adversity

By Wayne Forrest

MRI scans have found that boys who faced challenges during the first six years of their lives had less cortical gray brain matter and altered brain structure by the time they reached their late teens or early 20s, according to a study conducted at a leading U.K. institution.

Ultrasound-based CAD pinpoints thyroid nodules

By Eric Barnes

Ultrasound combined with a novel computer-aided detection (CAD) scheme can help determine whether thyroid nodules are malignant or benign, a new study has found. The research team thinks it's feasible to identify malignant lesions, based primarily on the presence and patterns of thyroid nodule calcifications.
