AIR Recon DL, a deep learning-based image reconstruction software, will now be available with 3D sequences as well as PROPELLER motion-insensitive sequences on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners from GE Healthcare.

In light of recent shortages of iodinated contrast media, researchers from Australia suggest in a new publication that ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be viable first-line imaging options for a number of non-urgent presentations of the head and neck.

Assessing data from 386,590 women, researchers noted that women with extremely dense breast tissue have more than double the risk for breast cancer in comparison to women with average breast density and nearly four times the risk of women with extremely fatty breast tissue.

Requiring only half of the gadolinium dose of current non-specific gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs), gadopiclenol can be utilized with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to help detect lesions with abnormal vascularity in the central nervous system and other areas of the body.

Emerging research suggests that combining pre-biopsy magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing more than triples the specificity rate for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer in comparison to sole reliance on a PSA level greater than or equal to 4 ng/mL.

Version 2.1 of the ClearPoint Neuro Navigation software reportedly offers enhanced imaging and new trajectory planning tools for neurosurgical procedures.

In a new study looking at the development of axillary lymphadenopathy after a second dose of COVID-19 vaccination, researchers found that those who had the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine were 21 percent more likely to have the post-vaccine side effect in comparison to those who had the Pfizer-BioNtech COVID-19 vaccine.

Emerging research suggests that the contrast-enhanced, in-phase Dixon sequence may be the most optimal sequence for detecting biopsy clips on breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Greater imaging utilization has increased the prevalence of incidental findings or incidentalomas, but unclear clinical context and guidelines complicate management. Accordingly, these authors offer a thorough review of the literature and discuss new opportunities for improving interdisciplinary management strategies.

What is the diagnosis?

Noting that the machine learning model incorporating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had a higher mean area under the curve (AUC) than a model based solely on clinical features for predicting hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence, researchers said the study findings could have implications for refining liver transplant criteria.
