New ACR Guidelines Emphasize Earlier Mammography Screening for High-Risk Women
May 4th 2023While calling for a universal breast cancer risk assessment by the age of 25, the American College of Radiology (ACR) emphasized that ascertaining screening needs prior to the age of 40 is particularly important in high-risk populations such as Black women, who are 42 percent more likely to die from breast cancer in comparison to non-Hispanic White women.
Can Alternative MRI Techniques Help Enhance CyberKnife Treatment Imaging?
May 4th 2023In a review of the literature, this author discusses the viability of artificial intelligence (AI), parallel imaging, compressed sensing and simultaneous multi-slice excitation for improving the scan times and use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to facilitate CyberKnife treatment.
TeraRecon Launches AI-Powered Neuro Suite
April 28th 2023The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Neuro Suite reportedly enables radiologists to access leading neurological AI algorithm solutions in the field, including the brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) segmentation capabilities of the Combinostics’ algorithm that can help differentiate degenerative pathologies such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
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.
Spine Radiology Insights on Venous Fistula Localization and Finding Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks
April 19th 2023In a recent lecture at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) 2023 Annual Meeting, Andrew Callen, M.D., discussed a variety of imaging features associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, the diagnostic utility of the Bern score as well as the merits of 3D T2FS MRI and dynamic computed tomography myelography.
Breast Reconstruction: Current Principles and Emerging Concepts in Imaging
April 17th 2023Given the increasing prevalence of breast reconstruction, researchers discussed key signs of common complications on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound and other imaging during a recent presentation at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) 2023 Annual Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Award-Winning Study Shows Benefits of 3D MRI for Assessing the Fetal Optic Pathway
April 16th 2023Three-dimensional (3D) slice-to-volume (SVR) fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has over six times the fetal optic pathway visualization rate of standard two-dimensional MRI, according to new research presented at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) 2023 Annual Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii.
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
