MRI highlights worse muscle health from ultra-processed foods
By Erik L. Ridley
A study has found that ultra-processed food consumption is tied to higher thigh-muscle fat infiltration on MRI.
April 14, 2026
Representative axial T1-weighted spin-echo thigh MRI scans in (A) a 61-year-old female participant and (B) a 62-year-old female participant. Both participants were of similar age and body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared). Both had Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly scores above the mean score in the study. According to the World Health Organization definition, the participant in B qualified as having abdominal obesity (abdominal circumference ≥ 88 cm). Abdominal circumference is a measure of central obesity that captures fat distribution and serves as an indicator of cardiometabolic health. Compared with the participant in A, the participant in B had a higher proportion of ultra-processed food (UPF) in their diet (87.1% vs 29.5%) and exhibited fattier thigh muscles bilaterally, with Goutallier grade (GG) for all thigh muscles summing to 25 for the participant in A and 38 for the participant in B.
Abbreviated breast MRI after chemotherapy comparable to full protocol
By Kate Madden Yee
The findings could translate into more tailored patient care, researchers noted.

Post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) MRI scans in a 66-year-old woman with invasive breast cancer show a lesion that appears fragmented in the first postcontrast axial T1-weighted image (arrow in A) but becomes more conspicuous and homogeneous in the last delayed phase (arrow in B). Despite these visual differences, response classification was identical between abbreviated and full diagnostic MRI. Pathologic analysis confirmed a partial response with residual invasive carcinoma.
MRI shows link between aneurysm and cumulative combat blast exposure
By Kate Madden Yee
"These findings suggest that repeated blast exposure may leave a measurable vascular signature in the brain," researchers noted.

MRI 'fingerprinting' technique characterizes prostate lesions
By Amerigo Allegretto
The technique can differentiate suspicious prostate lesions from clinically insignificant lesions.
April 7, 2026
Representative T2-weighted (T2w) images, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps, and MR fingerprinting (MRF)-derived T1 and T2 maps obtained from three participants with different histologic types of prostatic lesions. Lesions are circled with dashed lines. Mean values with standard deviations for ADC, T1, and T2 are shown at the bottom of the images. PCa = prostate cancer.
MRI reveals linked heart, brain damage from breast cancer chemotherapy
By Kate Madden Yee
The finding suggests cardiotoxicity and neurotoxicity may be interrelated comorbidities rather than independent side effects.
