Kidneys, heart emerge clearly with 3T MRA
Two studies have found that MR angiography at 3T produces quality images of the kidneys and excellent cardiac cine images.
Two studies have found that MR angiography at 3T produces quality images of the kidneys and excellent cardiac cine images.
Radiologist Dr. Michael Fenchel and colleagues from Eberhard-Karls University in Tuebingen, Germany, examined 11 healthy volunteers using a high parallel imaging technique with a prototype 32-element phased-array coil and a 3T scanner. The investigators found high image quality of the kidneys in nine of 11 volunteers, with good overall interobserver agreement (Invest Radiol 2006:41[9]:697-703).
The same team performed cardiac cine imaging at 3T successfully on eight volunteers using this parallel imaging technique (Invest Radiol 2006;41[8]:601-608).
Using a large number of coil elements with a favorable sensitivity profile supports faster image acquisition, with high diagnostic image quality even for high parallel imaging factors, the researchers said.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
