Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied a new type of lightweight helmet that can help take pictures of the brain while people move around.
- They tested different shapes and materials to see which one works best for imaging brain activity and found that the helmet-style design performed better than the cylindrical shape.
- The special materials used in the helmet gave clearer images compared to traditional methods unless some new tech improved the timing measurement a lot.
A randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, feasibility and dosing study was undertaken to determine if a common pulsing electromagnetic field (PEMF) treatment could moderate the substantial osteopenia that occurs after forearm disuse. Ninety-nine subjects were randomized into four groups after a distal radius fracture, or carpal surgery requiring immobilization in a cast. Active or identical sham PEMF transducers were worn on the distal forearm for 1, 2, or 4 h/day for 8 weeks starting after cast removal ("baseline") when bone density continues to decline.

The model is applicable only if the stress conditions in the imaged breast are virtually the same in PET and MRI. Under these conditions, the observed intermodality displacements are solely due the imaging/reconstruction process.
