MR guidance permits more precise localization
Researchers from the University of Cologne in Germany report that real-time MR-guided wire localization of suspicious breast lesions using an open 1T scanner permits correction of the needle position during placement and reduces interventional procedure time.
Researchers from the University of Cologne in Germany report that real-time MR-guided wire localization of suspicious breast lesions using an open 1T scanner permits correction of the
needle position during placement and reduces interventional procedure time.
The study, published in Radiology, monitored needle placement in 30 women by using a dynamic balanced gradient-echo (single-shot turbo field-echo) sequence with a 0.5-second temporal resolution. The tip of the needle was clearly identified in all patients during placement. Diagnostic MR following the interventional procedure confirmed that the hook wires were placed 0 to 6 mm (mean, 3.3 mm) from the target lesions. Total procedure time ranged from 16 to 36 minutes.

April 24th 2024In a recent interview, Kenneth J. Pienta, M.D., discussed the impact of piflufolastat F18, current directions in research with other PSMA-targeted radiotracers and future possibilities for the role of PSMA PET in the imaging paradigm for prostate cancer.
Study Reveals Benefits of Photon-Counting CT for Assessing Acute Pulmonary Embolism
April 23rd 2024In comparison to energy-integrating detector CT for the workup of suspected acute pulmonary embolism, the use of photon-counting detector CT reduced radiation dosing by 48 percent, according to newly published research.
