According to a new study, conducted by Arthur Aron, Ph.D., and Bianca Acevedo, Ph.D., of the Department of Psychology at Stony Brook University, and colleagues, used functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to determine the neural correlates of long-term married and in love people in comparison with people who had recently fallen in love, they found that areas attributed with motivation, reward and "wanting'' in both sets of couples have highly similar brain activity.

Pen Bay Medical Center Receives ACR Accreditation
Pen Bay Medical Center's Department of Radiology, the leading regional referral hospital in Midcoast Maine, has recently received accreditation from the American College of Radiology (ACR).
Since 1963, the American College of Radiology has been considered among the oldest and most experienced imaging accreditation bodies in the United States, as it administers accreditation programs to determine the quality of imaging facilities. National quality standards are being set by the ACR to continue developing patient care. The recent commitment is demonstrated by the ACR accreditation of the CT scanner under the name of Pen Bay X-Ray Associates and Pen Bay Medical Center in order to offer the safest and best possible quality care for the patients of Midcoast Maine.

Redwood Memorial To Use Digital Mammography For Detecting Breast Cancer
Redwood Memorial Hospital in Fortuna, California, announced recently that it will promote its breast imaging capabilities following the implementation of a new digital mammography system in the facility for the first time. The new system was bought thanks to a raised fund of $100,000, which was collected during the 2010 Benefit Ball and Scramble for Redwood Memorial golf tournament.
The public are invited to a ceremony at the hospital next Tuesday celebrating the arrival of the new system at the imaging department of the hospital. Gwynna Morris, a longtime hospital supporter, will be honored during the ceremony. Previously, radiologists at the Redwood Memorial depended on X-ray scanning in order to detect breast cancer. However, diagnosing that disease has become easier thanks to digital mammography technology.
Among the main benefits of digital mammography is its capabilities of detecting cancer in women with dense breast tissue, which are usually more difficult to evaluate using X-ray scans. Digital mammography also offers the ability to edit the digital images, such as zooming or changing the lighting of the images, for better view of the breast tissue.
