Dynamic MR imaging aids female urethra evaluation
MR can reveal and characterize unsuspected pelvic organ prolapse in women, according to a study presented at the 2006 Society of Computed Body Tomography and Magnetic Resonance meeting.
MR can reveal and characterize unsuspected pelvic organ prolapse in women, according to a study presented at the 2006 Society of Computed Body Tomography and Magnetic Resonance meeting.
Researchers at New York University, led by Dr. Genevieve L. Bennett, retrospectively reviewed MRI data from 99 women referred for several indications. Patients underwent dynamic TrueFisp scanning at 1.5T, alternating between rest and strain. Dynamic MRI confirmed pelvic organ prolapse in five patients at rest and also detected the condition in 33 patients during stress maneuvers. Researchers did not find a significant correlation between the original indication for imaging and the MR findings, however.
"We routinely use dynamic MRI in this patient population. The sequence requires less than a minute of additional imaging time," Bennett said.
Could a Deep Learning Model for Mammography Improve Prediction of DCIS and Invasive Breast Cancer?
April 15th 2024Artificial intelligence (AI) assessment of mammography images may significantly enhance the prediction of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in women with breast cancer, according to new research presented at the Society for Breast Imaging (SBI) conference.
New Research Examines Socioeconomic Factors with Mammography No-Shows
April 10th 2024Patients with Medicaid or means-tested insurance were over 27 percent more likely to miss mammography appointments, and only 65 percent of women with three of more adverse social determinants of health had a mammography exam in a two-year period covering 2020 and 2021, according to new research and a report from the CDC.
