Health Images sees MRI volume grow

In order to facilitate optimal detection and assessment of liver fibrosis and steatosis, the newly launched Hepatus 6 Diagnostic Ultrasound System offers the capabilities of real-time two-dimensional ultrasound with visual transient elastography in one device.

Richard Duszak, MD, and Mina Makary, MD, discuss a number of issues, ranging from demographic trends and NPRPs to physician burnout and medical student recruitment, that figure to impact the radiology workforce now and in the near future.

Whether it’s attempting to get appropriate clinical histories from referring physicians or getting a tech to split up a multiphasic contrast study into separate image series, consistently striving to fight the good fight for optimal image interpretation is worth the effort.

An interview with two experts to discuss newly released guidance for using standardized MRI protocols for patients with this condition.

The combination of Philips’ MR 7700 multi-nuclei scanner with the FDA-approved Xenoview hyperpolarized Xenon magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent may facilitate earlier diagnosis and intervention for patients with obstructive lung diseases.

In a review of patient data from 42 countries, researchers found that standardized typical findings on computed tomography (CT) for COVID-19 had a pooled sensitivity rate of 70 percent and a pooled specificity rate of 90 percent.
