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.

Could an emerging modality provide a viable alternative to gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) in this high-risk patient population?

In a recently published study, researchers found that multiparametric quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) may detect subtle biomarkers of conditions such as autism and cerebral palsy in adolescents with extremely preterm births.

Boston Scientific’s STIMVIEW XT reportedly enables 3D brain imaging that facilitates more accurate lead placement and targeted stimulation modeling for patients with Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor.

In a recent video interview, Arun Krishnaraj, MD, MPH and David Larson, MD, MBA, discussed the continued use of physical media to transport medical images between different health-care facilities, resulting inefficiencies and delays with patient care, and the initiative to create a linked multi-hub model to end this dated practice once and for all.

In addition to segmentation of the prostate, the artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled advance reportedly facilitates PI-RADS scoring by assessing the size and intensity of possible lesions.

A new artificial intelligence tool reportedly overcomes resolution issues of standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with 3D images of the shoulder bones and may eliminate pre-operative use of computed tomography (CT) for total shoulder arthroplasty procedures.

Utilizing biomarkers from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams, AMRA Medical’s BCP Scan reportedly provides precise measurements of muscle and fat.

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.
