FDA Clears Conditional MRI Use for Implantable Sleep Apnea System
May 26th 2023Conditional use of full-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is reportedly permitted for patients using any of the models for the remede® System, an implantable nerve stimulation therapy indicated for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe central sleep apnea.
Can Abbreviated MRI Have an Impact in Neuroimaging?
May 19th 2023In a recently published review, radiology researchers from the University of Wisconsin discussed the potential and key considerations for applying accelerated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols in the assessment of emergent and urgent conditions.
Emerging AI Advances in Cardiac Imaging
May 12th 2023In a recent video interview, David Ouyang, M.D., shared insights from two recent studies he co-authored on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve initial assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) on echocardiography and ascertain cardiac risks associated with changes in the left ventricle sphericity index seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
New ACR Guidelines Emphasize Earlier Mammography Screening for High-Risk Women
May 4th 2023While calling for a universal breast cancer risk assessment by the age of 25, the American College of Radiology (ACR) emphasized that ascertaining screening needs prior to the age of 40 is particularly important in high-risk populations such as Black women, who are 42 percent more likely to die from breast cancer in comparison to non-Hispanic White women.
Can Alternative MRI Techniques Help Enhance CyberKnife Treatment Imaging?
May 4th 2023In a review of the literature, this author discusses the viability of artificial intelligence (AI), parallel imaging, compressed sensing and simultaneous multi-slice excitation for improving the scan times and use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to facilitate CyberKnife treatment.
TeraRecon Launches AI-Powered Neuro Suite
April 28th 2023The artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Neuro Suite reportedly enables radiologists to access leading neurological AI algorithm solutions in the field, including the brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) segmentation capabilities of the Combinostics’ algorithm that can help differentiate degenerative pathologies such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
Could Controlled Imaging Rein in Suboptimal Use of MRI, CT and Ultrasound Exams?
April 24th 2023Lamenting a lack of control over imaging requests from referring clinicians, this author suggests that a more collaborative approach between referrers and radiologists may facilitate more efficient use of imaging.
Spine Radiology Insights on Venous Fistula Localization and Finding Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks
April 19th 2023In a recent lecture at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) 2023 Annual Meeting, Andrew Callen, M.D., discussed a variety of imaging features associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, the diagnostic utility of the Bern score as well as the merits of 3D T2FS MRI and dynamic computed tomography myelography.
