Powered by deep learning technology, Sonic DL reportedly facilitates the acquisition of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at 12 times the speed of conventional MRI systems.
Study Says Machine Learning MRI Model May Help Predict Recurrence Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
August 22nd 2022Noting that the machine learning model incorporating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had a higher mean area under the curve (AUC) than a model based solely on clinical features for predicting hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence, researchers said the study findings could have implications for refining liver transplant criteria.
Emerging Deep Learning System May Enhance MRI Assessment of Intracranial Tumors
August 19th 2022In comparison to neuroradiology assessment of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for tumor diagnosis, researchers found that adjunctive use of a deep learning system improved diagnostic accuracy by 12.4 percent and sensitivity by 33.5 percent in one test set of 300 patients.
MRI/CT Imaging for Axillary Lymph Nodes: What a New Breast Cancer Study Reveals
August 16th 2022The combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) had a 63.83 percent sensitivity rate for tumor-infiltrated axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer in comparison to a 36.11 percent sensitivity rate for the combination of mammography and sonography.
FDA Clears New AI Software for MRI Detection of Prostate Cancer
August 8th 2022The ProstatID, an adjunctive artificial intelligence software that radiologists can utilize with traditional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), reportedly measures prostate gland volume, and suggests PI-RADS scoring of suspicious lesions.
Key MRI Patterns for Diagnosing Inflammatory Brain Stem Lesions
July 16th 2022In an award-winning presentation at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR), researchers from the Hospital Universitario Basurto in Spain reviewed key neuroimaging findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for a variety of inflammatory lesions of the brain stem.
New Study Says Five Out of Eight Face Masks Are 'MRI Unsafe'
July 11th 2022In their testing of eight commercially available filtering face piece (FFP3) respirators commonly utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers deemed that five of the face masks that contained ferromagnetic materials were unsafe to use in and around magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices.
Study Confirms Higher Accuracy of MRI Over Emerging PSMA PET/CT for Diagnosing Prostate Cancer
July 8th 2022Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had better accuracy than prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) “for detecting any grade of prostate cancer,” according to new study findings presented at the European Association of Urology Annual Congress (EAU22) in Amsterdam.
Eight Perspectives from Radiology Organizations on the Overturning of Roe v. Wade
July 2nd 2022In recently issued statements, different radiology organizations have offered perspectives on the physician-patient relationship and the potential impact of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
