MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION: Cardiac anatomy for the imager

While 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.

Offering improved image clarity capable of capturing details of subtle pathology, the Magnetom Terra.X 7T MRI system reportedly features the first eight-channel parallel transmit architecture for clinical use.

The multimodality system nCommand Lite reportedly facilitates real-time remote imaging guidance on scanning parameters and procedure assessments to licensed technologists for a variety of imaging modalities including CT and MRI.

Emphasizing optimal balancing of patient safety and image quality, these authors discuss the impact of the specific absorption rate and B1+rms parameters upon radiofrequency exposure with MRI exams.

For patients with suspected acute stroke, researchers noted higher image quality for deep learning-accelerated MRI, which can be completed over 11 minutes sooner than similar sequences for conventional MRI.

The syngo Virtual Cockpit platform reportedly enables remote access and image acquisition for CT, MRI and positron emission tomography (PET), and facilitates clinician collaboration across multiple sites.
