Cardiac MRI

While there can be an array of challenges in outsourcing night coverage to teleradiology service providers, due diligence with contract terms can help mitigate costs and increase flexibility if radiology practices decide to switch teleradiology providers down the line.

In a new study comparing the development of myocarditis among vaccinated patients to those with COVID-19-related illness and patients with other etiologies, researchers noted less severe abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and no major adverse events in a short-term follow-up.

The new whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) platform reportedly offers enhanced image quality and increased patient comfort.

A 43-year-old male presents for suspected PE evaluation. What is the diagnosis?

Addition of late contrast enhancement (LCE) CT reportedly bolsters diagnostic rate for patients with acute chest pain who have negative findings on triple-rule-out (TRO) CT.

COVID-19 can result in cardiac complications including myocarditis, arterial and venous thromboembolism, and cardiomyopathy.

Radiologists should be aware of the possible association of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination and myocarditis.

Better understanding of blood flow means better treatment for patients.

Created in a partnership, the ultra-fast MRI technique captures images in a single breath-hold -- the project's clinical leader offers insights.

Incidence is rare and should not discourage vaccine use, but providers should be aware of the possibility.

Including this scan improves detection of clinical and subclinical myocarditis by more than seven-fold, making it a vital part of return-to-play strategies.

Six months post-infection, the hearts of patients who had mild disease appear similar on cardiac MRI scans to the hearts of patients who were never infected.

Performing a CMR shortly after hospital admission identifies more patients with broken-heart syndrome.

Images can pinpoint which women are at risk for ischemia and nipple necrosis.

In more than 80 percent of referred cases, information gathered from fetal CMR can change clinical decision-making, and it can impact parental counseling, as well.

Supramolecular Amorphous-like Iron Oxide could provide less toxic, more biocompatible high-resolution imaging.

More radiologists are providing CT and MRI services, but these studies still fall behind echocardiography and nuclear medicine.

For better cardiology services, providers must look beyond the existing cardiology PACS.

Here's what to expect this week on Diagnostic Imaging.

MRI scans reveal myocarditis, scarring, infarction, and ischemia in recovered patients with elevated troponin levels.

Using radiomics to assess impact of unconventional risk factors, including cocaine use and HIV infection, potentially introduces a “brave new world” of precision phenotyping in CAD.

Using imaging to screen asymptomatic individuals can cause more potential harm than good, Task Force reiterates.

New study, comparing recovered athletes to healthy controls, reveals a lower level of myocarditis that previously published research, but cardiac MRI is still important for safe return-to-play decisions.
