MRI spots patients prone to poststroke bleeds
Contrast-enhanced MRI reliably predicts whether acute stroke patients receiving intravenous tPA treatment are particularly susceptible to intracranial hemorrhage, according to a study presented at the American Society of Neuroradiology meeting in San Diego.
Contrast-enhanced MRI reliably predicts whether acute stroke patients receiving intravenous tPA treatment are particularly susceptible to intracranial hemorrhage, according to a study presented at the American Society of Neuroradiology meeting in San Diego.
Dr. David J. Mikulis, an associate professor of neuroradiology at Toronto Western Hospital, reported that the presence of blood-brain barrier breakdown identified with postgadolinium T1-weighted spin-echo imaging produced 100% positive and negative predictive values for 10 of 24 patients who developed hemorrhagic transformation.
Hyperintensities were absent in all 14 patients without intracranial bleeding but were seen in five of 10 patients who developed hemorrhage in the week following treatment.
Studies presented by Mikulis and other researchers at the meeting added weight to growing evidence demonstrating the power of MRI and CT to determine when tPA thrombolysis should be attempted beyond the traditional three-hour treatment window.
Seven Takeaways from New CT and MRI Guidelines for Ovarian Cancer Staging
January 20th 2025In an update of previous guidelines from the European Society of Urogenital Radiology published in 2010, a 21-expert panel offered consensus recommendations on the utility of CT, MRI and PET-CT in the staging and follow-up imaging for patients with ovarian cancer.
Four Strategies to Address the Tipping Point in Radiology
January 17th 2025In order to flip the script on the impact of the radiology workforce shortage, radiology groups and practices need to make sound investments in technologies and leverage partnerships to mitigate gaps in coverage and maximize workflow efficiencies.
CT Study Reveals Key Indicators for Angiolymphatic Invasion in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
January 15th 2025In computed tomography (CT) scans for patients with solid non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) < 30 mm, emerging research suggests the lollipop sign is associated with a greater than fourfold likelihood of angiolymphatic invasion.
