GE updates Signa platform
The latest evolution of GE Healthcare's Signa HD x (high definition x) platform offers MR pulse sequences that overcome barriers to diagnostic scans in some difficult-to-image patients. The xt version, shown at the RSNA meeting, features two major innovations: 3D Cube and Ideal.
The latest evolution of GE Healthcare's Signa HD x (high definition x) platform offers MR pulse sequences that overcome barriers to diagnostic scans in some difficult-to-image patients. The xt version, shown at the RSNA meeting, features two major innovations: 3D Cube and Ideal. 3D Cube's capture of submillimeter isotropic voxels allows the viewing of a volumetric data set in any plane and the visualization of lesions as small as 2 mm. Ideal improves image clarity through uniform fat suppression and handling multiple contrasts from fat, water, and the two combined, both in-phase and out-of-phase. It also reduces or eliminates artifacts due to chemical shift of metal implants, such as orthopedic screws or dental work, and eliminates misregistration between fat and water.
Diffusion-Weighted MRI and Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Rectal Cancer: What New Research Reveals
September 3rd 2024In a comparison of imaging assessments to gauge the effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for rectal adenocarcinoma, researchers found the combination of diffusion-weighted imaging and MR tumor regression grading had a 90 percent area under the curve (AUC) and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 93 percent.
New Research Highlights Emerging MRI Contrast Agent for Bladder Imaging
August 21st 2024A new MRI contrast agent may provide a viable non-invasive alternative for the detection of interstitial cystitis, according to preliminary research presented at the 5th International Consultation on Interstitial Cystitis Japan (ICICJ) in Kyoto, Japan.
MRI Study Offers Insights on Traumatic Brain Injury and Cerebral Microbleeds
August 19th 2024Detecting cerebral microbleed (CMB) in one of six healthy adults in a new study, researchers also found that CMB was the only MRI marker of small vessel disease (SVD) to be significantly associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
