Icometrix Gets First CPT III Code Issued by AMA for AI Brain MRI Software
July 3rd 2023Reportedly receiving the first Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) III code from the American Medical Association (AMA) for artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) software, Icometrix says its adjunctive quantification software can be utilized for diagnosis and assessment of conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy to stroke and dementia.
Could Gamification Enhance Brain MRI Acquisition?
June 9th 2023FIRMM-pix, a brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) software module recently launched at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) conference, reportedly employs visual biofeedback and gamification that coaches patients to stay still during brain MRI exams.
Stress Cardiovascular MRI: What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals
June 8th 2023For the detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a sensitivity rate of 81 percent and a specificity rate of 86 percent, according to a meta-analysis of 64 studies and data from 74,470 patients with stable chest pain.
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.

Emerging AI Advances in Cardiac Imaging
May 12th 2023In a recent video interview, David Ouyang, M.D., shared insights from two recent studies he co-authored on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve initial assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on echocardiography and ascertain cardiac risks associated with changes in the left ventricle sphericity index seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
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?
