fMRI hints 'will' and 'grace' are not equally honest
Honest people tell the truth, even when given a chance to lie, as shown in an fMRI brain study of truth telling and prevarication from Harvard behavioral scientists.
Honest people tell the truth, even when given a chance to lie, as shown in an fMRI brain study of truth telling and prevarication from Harvard behavioral scientists.
The group, led by Joshua Greene, an assistant professor of psychology at Harvard, assessed 35 subjects who attempted to predict random coin flip outcomes while undergoing fMRI. Rewarded for accuracy and punished for inaccuracy, the study design also allowed them to cheat. Researchers found honest individuals displayed little to no additional neural activity in control-related brain regions when telling the truth, but liars did. Prevailing theories behind lie detection, “will” and “grace,” hypothesize that honesty results either from an active resistance to temptation or from a lack of response to it. Study findings lean toward the latter, according to researchers (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2009).

January 20th 2025In an update of previous guidelines from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology published in 2010, a 21-expert panel offered consensus recommendations on the utility of CT, MRI and PET-CT in the staging and follow-up imaging for patients with ovarian cancer.
Four Strategies to Address the Tipping Point in Radiology
January 17th 2025In order to flip the script on the impact of the radiology workforce shortage, radiology groups and practices need to make sound investments in technologies and leverage partnerships to mitigate gaps in coverage and maximize workflow efficiencies.
CT Study Reveals Key Indicators for Angiolymphatic Invasion in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
January 15th 2025In computed tomography (CT) scans for patients with solid non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) < 30 mm, emerging research suggests the lollipop sign is associated with a greater than fourfold likelihood of angiolymphatic invasion.
