MR imaging finds hidden intra-abdominal fat in teens
MRI has proven to be a reliable, fast, noninvasive means for assessing deep fat in adults. It can also be effective in high-risk pre-adolescents and adolescents, according to a study in the March issue of Radiology.
MRI has proven to be a reliable, fast, noninvasive means for assessing deep fat in adults. It can also be effective in high-risk pre-adolescents and adolescents, according to a study in the March issue of Radiology. Internal fat around the abdominal organs is potentially harmful and difficult to assess.
Dr. Marilyn J. Siegel and colleagues at Washington University's Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology in St. Louis assessed 20 boys and 10 girls between the ages of 10 and 18 who underwent single-section and whole-abdominal multisection MRI.
The investigators found that T1-weighted MRI measurements of abdominal adipose tissue corresponded with results from anthropometric assessment and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (Radiology 242:846-856).
European Society of Breast Imaging Issues Updated Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations
April 24th 2024One of the recommendations from the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) is annual breast MRI exams starting at 25 years of age for women deemed to be at high risk for breast cancer.
New Literature Review Assesses Merits of Cardiac MRI After Survival of Sudden Cardiac Arrest
April 19th 2024While noting inconsistencies with the diagnostic yield of cardiac MRI in patients who survived sudden cardiac arrest, researchers cited unique advantages in characterizing ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and facilitating alternate diagnoses.
Study of Ofatumumab for Multiple Sclerosis Shows 'Profoundly Suppressed MRI Lesion Activity'
April 17th 2024The use of continuous ofatumumab in patients within three years of a relapsing multiple sclerosis diagnosis led to substantial reductions in associated lesions on brain MRI scans, according to research recently presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) conference.
