3D MRI for Quantitative Brain Imaging Gets FDA Nod
SyMRI 3D reportedly combines precise estimates of regional brain volume with improved resolution bolstering accuracy with lesion analysis.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for SyMRI 3D, a modality that may offer enhanced resolution and accuracy for brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
Combining quantitative MRI technology with isotropic resolution, SyMRI 3D provides improved accuracy in brain lesion analysis and facilitates brain structure and function assessments through precise brain region volume estimates, according to SyntheticMR U.S., the developer of the SyMRI 3D modality.

“Receiving 510(k) clearance for SyMRI 3D allows us to empower physicians to make more precise and informed decisions in diagnosis and treatment planning through quantitative imaging," said Jared Dixon, the president of SyntheticMR U.S.
SyMRI 3D will also be available to Philips customers as per a recently expanded partnership agreement between the two companies that was announced in November 2023.
Could Ultrafast MRI Enhance Detection of Malignant Foci for Breast Cancer?
April 10th 2025In a new study involving over 120 women, nearly two-thirds of whom had a family history of breast cancer, ultrafast MRI findings revealed a 5 percent increase in malignancy risk for each second increase in the difference between lesion and background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) time to enhancement (TTE).
MRI Study Suggests Shape of White Matter Hyperintensities May Be Predictive of Cognitive Decline
April 7th 2025Emerging research demonstrated that cognitive declines in memory, executive function and processing speed domains were associated with irregular shape of periventricular/confluent white matter hyperintensities.
Can Abbreviated MRI Have an Impact in Rectal Cancer Staging?
April 4th 2025Abbreviated MRI demonstrated a 95.3 percent specificity for rectal cancer and provided strong agreement with the full MRI protocol for T staging and detection of extramural venous invasion, according to newly published research.
