Cardiac MR salvage imagingshows therapy benefits
Cardiac researchers assessing the benefits of revascularization therapies will operate a little less in the dark thanks to salvage imaging, a new cardiac MR technique that relies on T2-weighted pulse sequences
Cardiac researchers assessing the benefits of revascularization therapies will operate a little less in the dark thanks to salvage imaging, a new cardiac MR technique that relies on T2-weighted pulse sequences to identify heart muscle tissue that would have been permanently damaged after an ischemic event if revascularization therapy had not been applied.
Dr. Holger Thiele, a cardiac MRI researcher at the University of Leipzig in Germany, demonstrated at the 2009 Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance meeting how salvage imaging can simplify clinical trials. According to Dr. Eike Nagel, director of cardiovascular MRI at the German Heart Institute in Berlin, salvage imaging will help evaluate the clinical efficacy of hundreds of techniques designed to improve revascularization therapy.
New Literature Review Assesses Merits of Cardiac MRI After Survival of Sudden Cardiac Arrest
April 19th 2024While noting inconsistencies with the diagnostic yield of cardiac MRI in patients who survived sudden cardiac arrest, researchers cited unique advantages in characterizing ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and facilitating alternate diagnoses.
FDA Clears Remote Scanning Support Platform for MRI, CT and PET/CT
March 25th 2024The multimodality system nCommand Lite reportedly facilitates real-time remote imaging guidance on scanning parameters and procedure assessments to licensed technologists for a variety of imaging modalities including CT and MRI.
