The indications for Gadobutrol injection, a generic substitute for Gadavist, include neurovascular and cardiovascular assessments as well as breast malignancy detection with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
FDA Clears Conditional MRI Use for Implantable Sleep Apnea System
May 26th 2023Conditional use of full-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is reportedly permitted for patients using any of the models for the remede® System, an implantable nerve stimulation therapy indicated for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe central sleep apnea.
Could Controlled Imaging Rein in Suboptimal Use of MRI, CT and Ultrasound Exams?
April 24th 2023Lamenting a lack of control over imaging requests from referring clinicians, this author suggests that a more collaborative approach between referrers and radiologists may facilitate more efficient use of imaging.
New Medtronic App Streamlines MRI Screening for Patients with Cardiac Devices
April 5th 2023Offering built-in safety features and independent verification of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatibility with cardiac devices such as pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillator systems, the MRI Care Pathway app may enhance the efficiency of radiology workflows for MRI scans in patients with these devices.
Seven Takeaways from New Consensus Recommendations for Cardiac MRI Assessment of COVID-19
March 31st 2023Consensus recommendations from the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance provide pertinent insights on the unique abilities of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to provide optimal characterization of myocardial tissue and diagnosis of COVID-19-related myocardial injuries.
Could Cardiac MRI Improve Risk Stratification in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy?
March 20th 2023Emerging research suggests that cardiac MRI findings of late gadolinium enhancement, native T1 values and extracellular volume fraction may predict sudden cardiac death-related events in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy.
What a New Study Reveals About MRI Use and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators
January 31st 2023In a prospective study of over 600 patients, researchers found that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had no serious adverse effects upon the detection of tachyarrhythmias with non-MRI conditional implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).
