Can Placental MRI Help Identify Elevated Risks for Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes?
Emerging research suggests a robust association between pregnancy outcomes and placental measurements assessed via blood oxygen-level dependent magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-MRI). READ MORE
MRI/CET Imaging for Axillary Lymph Nodes: What a New Breast Cancer Study Reveals
The combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) had a 63.83 percent sensitivity rate for tumor-infiltrated axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer in comparison to a 36.11 percent sensitivity rate for the combination of mammography and sonography.

PET Imaging Study Links COVID-19 to Reduced Myocardial Flow Reserve
Emerging research fromm a positive emission tomography (PET) study suggests that prior COVID-19 infection can lead to a 30 percent increased risk of lower myocardial flow reserve in patients with cardiovascular risk factors ranging from diabetes to coronary artery disease. READ MORE
Study Finds Disparities with Follow-Up After Incomplete Mammography Exams
Emerging research revealed that Asian patients, Black patients, and those who identified their race as "other" were nearly 1.5 times more likely than White women to have more than two-month delays with follow-up imaging after BI-RADS 0 screening mammography. READ MORE
Deep Learning System May Enhance MRI Assessment of Intracranial Tumors
In comparison to neuroradiology assessment of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for tumor diagnosis, researchers found that adjunctive use of a deep learning system improved diagnostic accuracy by 12.4 percent and sensitivity by 33.5 percent in one test set of 300 patients. READ MORE
