An artificial intelligence algorithm for dynamic contrast-enhanced breast MRI offered a 93.9 percent AUC for breast cancer detection, and a 92.3 percent sensitivity in BI-RADS 3 cases, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
Can DWI MRI Offer a Viable Non-Contrast Alternative for Breast Cancer Assessment?
October 19th 2023In a newly published literature review, researchers examined the benefits of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for breast cancer characterization and monitoring of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, current drawbacks that thwart wider adoption, and emerging techniques that may enhance the modality’s effectiveness.
FDA Clears AI-Enabled Denoising Feature for DWI Sequences on Portable Brain MRI System
October 9th 2023In reportedly the eighth FDA 510(k) clearance for Hyperfine’s Swoop portable brain MRI device, clinicians will now have access to enhanced denoising capabilities with diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) sequences.
MRI Study Identifies Pelvic Floor Parameters that May Lead to Postpartum Stress Urinary Incontinence
October 2nd 2023Researchers found that the combination of a retrovesicourethral angle, functional urethral length, and bladder funnel on MRI exams in primiparous women had a 94.7 percent AUC for predicting postpartum stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Mammography-Based Deep Learning Model Facilitates Higher Breast Cancer Detection on Screening MRI
September 22nd 2023New research suggests the capability of a mammography-based deep learning model to identify women at high risk of breast cancer led to more than triple the cancer detection rate on breast MRI in comparison to traditional risk assessment tools.
Study Reveals Tradeoffs Between Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and MRI for Supplemental Screening
August 16th 2023In a new study comparing standard breast MRI, abbreviated breast MRI and contrast-enhanced mammography in supplemental breast cancer screening, researchers found that MRI offered a greater than 14 percent higher cancer detection rate and a nearly 39 percent higher sensitivity rate than CEM.
