Breast MRI and Background Parenchymal Enhancement: What a Meta-Analysis Reveals
May 29th 2025Moderate 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.
Photon-Counting Computed Tomography: Eleven Takeaways from a New Literature Review
May 27th 2025In a review of 155 studies, researchers examined the capabilities of photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) for enhanced accuracy, tissue characterization, artifact reduction and reduced radiation dosing across thoracic, abdominal, and cardiothoracic imaging applications.
Can a Six-Minute MRI Facilitate Detection of Multiple Sclerosis?
May 23rd 2025Recognition 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.
