Women's Health MRI

In a thorough review of the literature, these authors discuss current approaches and emerging initiatives to increase the understanding of radiology reports by referring physicians as well as patients.

In a study involving nearly 700 patients with atypical ductal or lobular hyperplasia, or lobular carcinoma in situ, researchers found no difference in four-year breast cancer detection rates between women who had screening mammography and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and women who only had mammography screening.

Researchers found that in utero opioid exposure resulted in seven out of 14 2D biometric measurements of the fetal brain being smaller on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans in comparison to fetuses without opioid exposure.

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.

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.

In comparison to neuroradiology assessment of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for tumor diagnosis, researchers found that adjunctive use of a deep learning system improved diagnostic accuracy by 12.4 percent and sensitivity by 33.5 percent in one test set of 300 patients.

The combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) had a 63.83 percent sensitivity rate for tumor-infiltrated axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer in comparison to a 36.11 percent sensitivity rate for the combination of mammography and sonography.

Viz.ai said the Viz Subdural Hematoma (SDH) artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm provides automatic detection of acute and chronic subdural hemorrhages, facilitating timely triage and treatment of patients.

The imaging agent is approved for use in 50 countries in Europe and Asia, but is not currently approved in the US.
