Improving MRI Reproducibility: A Practical Guide for Researchers and Imaging Centers
Reproducibility remains one of the core challenges in modern MRI research. As datasets grow larger and more complex, the need for standardised workflows becomes increasingly important. These ideas were recently summarised in a scientific poster titled “Towards Best Practices for Reproducibility in Research MRI: A Blueprint for High‑Quality, Reproducible Workflows When Working With Big MRI …
RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT CRPS and the Brain: No Structural Damage Detected in New Research
The results suggest CRPS symptoms may stem from functional brain changes rather than permanent structural injury. A new study led by Dr Audrey Wang and colleagues at NeuRA has delivered a detailed examination of white matter structure in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Recently published in the European Journal of Pain, the study …
RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT Stress, trauma, and the brain in chronic pain
New research reveals that stress and trauma reshape key brain regions differently in people with chronic pain. Stress and pain don’t affect everyone equally Researchers at the NeuroRecovery Research Hub, School of Psychology at UNSW Sydney, and the Centre for Pain IMPACT at NeuRA are uncovering how experiencing very stressful or traumatic events changes the …
MRI and blood biomarker analysis reveals what happens to the brain after soccer heading
New research conducted at NeuRA identified microstructural, functional and chemical changes after controlled soccer heading. This is the first randomised controlled trial to use MRI to examine how the brain responds to soccer heading. Conducted in a highly controlled environment, adult soccer players headed a regulation soccer ball 20 times in 20 minutes, with balls …
MRI Analysis Reveals Growth Trends in Lower Leg Muscles of Children Aged 5-15
Researchers at NeuRA Imaging have developed reference curves for lower leg muscle growth in children aged 5 to 15 years, providing a benchmark for identifying impaired muscle development, particularly in children with cerebral palsy. Researchers and clinicians have long been interested in measurements of physical development during childhood. For instance, reference curves for body height …
PUBLICATION SPOTLIGHT New Atlas Charts Structural Variations in the Human Tongue
A new publication led by Rob Lloyd and Lynne Bilston at NeuRA Imaging identifies gendered differences in the structure of the tongue, and provides a structural atlas for wider use. The complex structure of the tongue provides a large range of motion, allowing it to form the different shapes needed to manipulate food while chewing …
