A lollipop plots showing the most important nodes by RF-MLA selected by Mean decrease in Gini for a 7 tesla fMRI dataset, with longer sticks meaning greater importance. Each group of networks’ nodes has its own color matching the same network’s color in the brain map. Nodes' names preceded by a red asterisk are repeated among different networks, matching the red nodes in the brain map, which appear in multiple networks.

ISMRM: Contrast-free MR angiography comparable to CT for PE detection

University of Michigan researchers investigate detectability of pulmonary embolism by noncontrast MR angiography at 0.55 tesla.

Axial (A) and Coronal (B) CTPA show multiple partial intraluminal filling defects along the course of the right middle lobar segmental branches (medial segment) (yellow arrow) and lower lobar and postero-medial segmental branches (green arrow). Note the low-signal filling defects on the axial and coronal 0.55T MRI sequence.

ISMRM: Insulin resistance in women associated with less myelin, changes in brain

By Maryam Payne

ISMRM research indicates that higher insulin resistance is associated with less myelin in women.

Associations between insulin resistance and MWF. (A) Distribution of insulin resistance, stratified by sex. (B) Regression analysis of whole-brain MWF vs. log (HOMA-IR), adjusted for age and age². Shaded regions indicate 95% confidence intervals. (C) Regression analysis of whole-brain MWF vs. log (HOMA-IR), adjusted for age, age², sex, and log (HOMA-IR) sex.

ISMRM: Brain’s waste-clearing system accelerates brain aging after stroke

The the brain’s glymphatic system appears to accelerate brain aging in patients after ischemic stroke.

May 10, 2025

Representative T2-FLAIR, CBF maps, choroid plexus segment, free-water maps, ALPS ROI, and 3D T1BRAVO from a stroke patient, and a healthy control. Both individuals are 64 years old in chronological age. The patient displays an evident ischemic lesion in the basal ganglia region on T2-FLAIR imaging. The distinctions between the patient and the healthy control are as follows: CBF (32.22 ml/100g/min vs. 47.70 ml/100g/min), CPVF (1.47 vs. 0.84), VCSFVF (32.50 vs. 11.00), MSFW (0.0455 vs. 0.0313), ALPS (1.04 vs. 1.54), and BPAD (13.21 vs. -1.60).

ISMRM: Trimodal PET-MR-FUS may be feasible therapy monitoring option

By Amerigo Allegretto

Researchers at ISMRM 2025 touted the success of a trimodal MR-PET-FUS system that could have applications for therapy monitoring.

May 10, 2025

Researchers at ISMRM highlighted the success of a trimodal MR-PET-FUS system built around a low-field MRI scanner. MR (top) and PET (bottom) images were acquired simultaneously before and after FUS heating.

ISMRM: Switching between full and short breast MRI reduces recalls

By Kate Madden Yee

Switching between abbreviated and full protocols for breast MRI can reduce exam time and lower recall rates.

May 10, 2025

Protocol time and recall bounds as a function of AI specificity and sensitivity. On the top, the bounds are shown as a function of the specificity of the AI algorithm, for a fixed value of the sensitivity of that same AI model. On the bottom, the bounds are shown as a function of the sensitivity, for a fixed specificity. Graphics and caption courtesy of the ISMRM.
