The new software for the Swoop® Portable MR Imaging system reportedly enhances the signal-to-noise ratio for diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences by 42 percent in comparison to the previous software.

New research from the American Cancer Society comparing pre-pandemic cancer screening prevalence to the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States showed a 1.1 million decrease in breast cancer screenings, a 4.4 million decrease in cervical cancer screening and a 600,000 decrease in prostate cancer screenings.

In a new study that may have implications for breast cancer surgery, researchers found that shorter time to enhancement (TTE) on preoperative ultrafast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was significantly associated with escalation of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) to invasive breast cancer.

In a new study of 1,232 women diagnosed with breast cancer within a year of a screening mammography exam, researchers found that interval breast cancer was 17 percent more likely in women with dense or extremely dense breasts, and over three times more likely to involve stage 2 or higher primary tumors in comparison to screening-detected breast cancer.

While acknowledging a moderate to high risk of bias in the retrospective studies reviewed for a recent meta-analysis, researchers found the current evidence supports the use of high-intensity magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) surveillance for detection of soft tissue sarcoma recurrence.

In a study of over 9,000 children that examined structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data as well as parent and child self-reporting of adversity-related measures, researchers found that greater exposure to adversities for Black children was linked to lower gray matter volume in the amygdala and multiple subregions of the prefrontal cortex in comparison to White children.

In a review of 22 studies and data from over 132,000 women with dense breasts and negative mammography exams, researchers found that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was superior to digital breast tomosynthesis, handheld ultrasound and automated whole breast ultrasound for the detection of breast cancer.

In 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).

In a multicenter study involving nearly 300 patients, researchers found that abbreviated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had a sensitivity rate of 88.2 percent and a specificity rate of 89.1 percent for detecting early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
