For neuroradiologists, the Signa Magnus 3T MRI system may offer enhanced visualization of the brain microstructure, microvasculature, and function.
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.
New MRI Study Examines Impact of Disparities with Childhood Adversity Exposure on Brain Development
February 2nd 2023In a study of over 9,000 children that examined structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data as well as parent and child self-reporting of adversity-related measures, researchers found that greater exposure to adversities for Black children was linked to lower gray matter volume in the amygdala and multiple subregions of the prefrontal cortex in comparison to White children.
Enhancing MRI Efficiency and Quality: Can the New SIGNA Experience Have an Impact?
November 29th 2022Recently launched at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference, the SIGNA Experience reportedly features synergistic technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) advances that help improve the efficiency and quality of magnetic resonance imaging.
What an MRI Study Reveals About Low Alcohol Use During Pregnancy and Fetal Brain Structure
November 28th 2022Researchers found that even low amounts of alcohol consumption in pregnant women can lead to early and diffuse structural changes in brain regions related to key functions including language development.
Ultra-High-Resolution MRI Identifies Enlarged Perivascular Spaces in People with Migraines
November 28th 2022New magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) research suggests a significant link between deep white matter hyperintensity severity and increased quantity of enlarged perivascular spaces in the centrum semiovale among people with migraines.
Brain MRI Study Shows 'Significant Abnormalities' Up to Six Months After COVID-19
November 21st 2022COVID-19 may cause changes in the brain stem and frontal lobe that could lead to fatigue, impacts in motor signal processing, insomnia, and depression, according to emerging research recently presented at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) annual conference in Chicago.
What a New MRI Study Reveals About Brain Aging and Racial Disparities
November 17th 2022New magnetic resonance imaging research shows earlier brain aging in middle-age Black individuals with researchers suggesting that cumulative exposure to stress over socioeconomic and environmental adversities may be a key contributing factor.
New MRI Study Identifies Signature White Matter Connectivity Patterns in People with Autism
November 14th 2022Emerging research has revealed findings on diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) correlational tractography that may help neuroradiologists differentiate between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and developmental coordination disorder (DCD).
