For neuroradiologists, the Signa Magnus 3T MRI system may offer enhanced visualization of the brain microstructure, microvasculature, and function.
Electronic brain atlases emerge as clinical and educational tool
May 26th 2010The topic of electronic brain atlases was first discussed in Diagnostic Imaging Asia Pacific almost a decade ago (see “Electronic brain atlases show value in brain studies,” June 2001, page 35). The article featured four atlases and addressed the potential of this innovation.
Of skin-colored gowns and brain MRI
May 5th 2010Every so often you come across an idea that has so much merit you can’t imagine why somebody hadn’t come up with it before. Such is the case with hospital gowns matched to a patient’s skin color. Although sky blue and forest green might be stunning on the right patient, it is hard to imagine either one helping docs spot signs of diseases that can be found in skin color changes.
64-row CTA tops DSA in brain aneurysm detection
November 2nd 2009Thanks to a near-perfect performance in a large cohort study in China, 64-slice CT angiography has shown it could replace digital subtraction angiography as the modality of choice for detecting suspected brain aneurysms at risk of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Sixty-four-slice CTA outperforms DSA for brain aneurysm detection
October 5th 2009Thanks to a near-perfect performance in a large cohort study in China, 64-slice CT angiography has shown it could replace digital subtraction angiography as the modality of choice for detecting suspected brain aneurysms at risk of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Incidental finding on MRIpoints to multiple sclerosis
February 1st 2009An incidental finding of multiple sclerosistypelesions during brain MRI is no fluke. Anew study has found that some patientsdevelop the physical symptoms of the diseasewithin five years of the abnormalities'discovery on MRI.
