FIRMM-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.

For patients with residual or recurrent grade 2 isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant gliomas, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed that daily dosing of vorasidenib, an inhibitor of mutant IDH1 and IDH2 enzymes, led to a median progression-free survival of 27.7 months in comparison to 11.1 months in a placebo group, according to new research presented at the 2023 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago.

The 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.

Researchers suggested that overnight use of a power-save mode on outpatient magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices in the United States could reduce annual energy consumption by 76,288.2 megawatt hours (MWh) and add up to $10.7 million in cost savings.

Lamenting 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.

Researchers found that higher shift volumes, longer imaging interpretation times and weekend work were significantly associated with increased errors in neuroradiology.

In the study of 119 patients who had endovascular treatment for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis, multivariable analysis revealed that post-op ischemic brain lesions on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were 3.6 times more likely to occur in patients who smoke cigarettes and 2.9 times more likely in patients who had multiple operative attempts.
