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.

In an exclusive video interview with Diagnostic Imaging, Josh Cooper, vice president of congressional affairs for the American College of Radiology (ACR), and Thomas Hoffman, vice president of legal for the ACR, discuss the ACR’s lawsuit over the IDR process of the No Surprises Act and the potential impact of the law on reimbursement and patient access to care.

Advances in MRI modalities and capabilities can facilitate optimal comfort and help alleviate anxiety for patients.

During the pandemic and beyond, working from home as a radiologist can present clear work-life advantages.

Researchers found the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging revealed pathologic evidence of multiple sclerosis that is not evident on T1 or T2-weighted MRI.

Expanded MRI labeling for Abbott’s Proclaim™ XR Spinal Cord Stimulation System may facilitate increased efficiency and quality of MRI scans.

Given the broad range of fibrocystic changes, the authors of a recent study suggest that more precise diagnosis of breast MRIs could significantly reduce unnecessary biopsy procedures.
