Philips ships 3-D DSA upgrade

Philips Medical Systems of Shelton, CT, has begun shipping Integris 3D RA, a new option for the Integris V5000 line of angiography systems that enables clinicians to reconstruct rotational angiography exams into 3-D images. Philips debuted the technology at last years RSNA meeting as a separate workstation, but since then has decided to make it available as an option on the V5000 console.
Philips believes that Integris 3D RA will prove useful in neurointerventional procedures by giving clinicians more accurate views of neurological anatomy, such as the size and shape of a brain aneurysm. The software is capable of reconstructing the first 3-D image in six minutes, with subsequent reconstructions taking from 20 seconds to 10 minutes, depending on the size of the data set.
Study: Monitoring of Prostate MRI Exams Could Lead to 75 Percent Reduction of Gadolinium Contrast
March 17th 2025While DCE MRI was deemed helpful in over 67 percent of cases in which it was used, researchers found that monitored prostate MRI exams, which facilitated a 75 percent reduction of DCE MRI sequences, had comparable sensitivity for prostate cancer as non-monitored exams.
New MRI Research Explores Links Between Waist-to-Hip Ratio and Memory in Aging
March 13th 2025Researchers found that a higher waist-to-hip ratio in midlife was associated with higher mean diffusivity in 26 percent of total white matter tracts in the cingulum as well as the superior and inferior longitudinal fasciculus.
