Injury to the Vertebral Endplate-Disk Complex Associated with Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression FracturesAmerican Journal of Neuroradiology | Jan 1, 2011 (FREE FULL TEXT)
In assessing an osteoporotic patient for vertebral fractures, don’t overlook the vertebral endplates and the state of the intervertebral disks. The authors of a retrospective study of MRI images find that radiologists too often focus on the vertebral body and ignore injury to the endplates, which may continue to cause postoperative pain as patients bend and twist. Damage to the endplates may also mimic infection.
Emerging AI Algorithm Shows Promise for Abbreviated Breast MRI in Multicenter Study
April 25th 2025An 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.
Could AI-Powered Abbreviated MRI Reinvent Detection for Structural Abnormalities of the Knee?
April 24th 2025Employing deep learning image reconstruction, parallel imaging and multi-slice acceleration in a sub-five-minute 3T knee MRI, researchers noted 100 percent sensitivity and 99 percent specificity for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.
New bpMRI Study Suggests AI Offers Comparable Results to Radiologists for PCa Detection
April 15th 2025Demonstrating no significant difference with radiologist detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), a biparametric MRI-based AI model provided an 88.4 percent sensitivity rate in a recent study.
