For patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), early changes with respect to decreased intra-network connectivity involving the default mode network or salience network may aid in differentiating between the development of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, according to new MRI research.
MRI Deep Learning Software from GE Healthcare Gets Expanded FDA Clearance
September 29th 2022AIR Recon DL, a deep learning-based image reconstruction software, will now be available with 3D sequences as well as PROPELLER motion-insensitive sequences on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners from GE Healthcare.
FDA Approves New MRI Contrast Agent Gadopiclenol
September 22nd 2022Requiring only half of the gadolinium dose of current non-specific gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs), gadopiclenol can be utilized with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to help detect lesions with abnormal vascularity in the central nervous system and other areas of the body.

September 12th 2022Greater imaging utilization has increased the prevalence of incidental findings or incidentalomas, but unclear clinical context and guidelines complicate management. Accordingly, these authors offer a thorough review of the literature and discuss new opportunities for improving interdisciplinary management strategies.
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.
MRI Study Reveals Increased Brain Changes in Postmenopausal Women
July 1st 2022Emerging research with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans shows that postmenopausal women have higher amounts of white matter hyperintensities that may lead to elevated risks for cognitive dysfunction and stroke.
