Offering a cost- and resource-saving DryCool magnet technology, the Magnetom Flow.Ace MRI system reportedly requires 0.7 liters of liquid helium for cooling over the lifetime of the device in contrast to over 1,000 liters commonly utilized with conventional MRI platforms.

While the addition of contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) to digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) led to over a 13 percent increase in false positive cases, researchers also noted over double the cancer yield per 1,000 women in comparison to DBT alone.

An alternative to an open neurosurgical approach, the Visualase V2 MRI-Guided Laser Ablation System reportedly utilizes laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) for targeted soft tissue ablation in patients with brain tumors and focal epilepsy.

A partial response rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy on mid-treatment MRI preceded a higher pathologic complete response (pCR) in 61.5 percent of women with triple-negative breast cancer, according to research presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference.

Assessing the simulated use of AI-generated suspicion scores for determining whether one should continue with full MRI or shift to an abbreviated MRI, the authors of a new study noted comparable sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value for biopsies between the MRI approaches.

For patients with inconclusive ultrasound results, abbreviated breast MRI offers comparable detection of intraductal papilloma as a full breast MRI protocol at significantly reduced times for scan acquisition and interpretation, according to a new study.

Moderate or marked background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) reduces the sensitivity and specificity of MRI for breast cancer detection by more than 10 percent in comparison to scans with minimal or mild BPE, according to a new meta-analysis.

The Optive AI software, the tenth software release for the Swoop portable MRI system, reportedly offers enhanced clarity and anatomical detail for ultra-low-field MRI of the brain.

For overweight and obese patients at risk for knee osteoarthritis (OA), eight-year follow-up MRI data revealed a 12.8 percent loss of thigh muscle sub-volume for people who had extensive weight loss in comparison to 5.1 percent for those who retained a stable weight.

Two years after intraarticular knee injections for knee osteoarthritis (OA), study participants who had corticosteroid knee injections had greater OA progression than control patients while the use of hyaluronic acid injections was associated with less OA progression.

Recognition of the central vein sign with a six-minute MRI demonstrated comparable sensitivity for multiple sclerosis (MS) detection in comparison to oligoclonal band (OCB) assessment, which requires lumbar puncture, according to newly published research.

For women with dense breasts and negative mammograms, contrast-enhanced mammography and abbreviated MRI provided respective cancer detection rates of 19.2 per 1000 exams and 17.4 per 1000 exams, according to new research.

The MSKai software provides AI-powered segmentation, labeling, and measurement tools for assessment of T2-weighted MRIs of the lumbar spine.

Emerging research suggests that abbreviated breast MRI offers comparable sensitivity and specificity as multiparametric MRI in women with extremely dense breasts with a nearly 50 percent reduction in reading time for radiologists.

New guidelines from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) offer pertinent principles and recommendations for MRI use in considering fertility-sparing treatments for women with ovarian, endometrial, or cervical cancer.

The combination of high-performance gradient technology and AI tools with the Signa Sprint MRI reportedly facilitate enhanced MRI workflow efficiencies in cardiac and oncology imaging.

New research findings suggest that image quality and lesion conspicuity are significantly lower with ultrafast breast MRI in comparison to standard dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI.

While AI-enabled hippocampal segmentation on MRI offered a 95 percent AUC for differentiating between Alzheimer’s disease and normal controls in a 27-study meta-analysis, it offered significantly lower sensitivity and specificity in differentiating mild cognitive impairment.

Irrespective of age or O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status, gross total resection of IDH wild-type glioblastomas was associated with a median overall survival of 32.6 months, according to new MRI research.
