Diagnostic Imaging's Weekly Scan: July 5, 2021 to July 9, 2021

Utilized in conjunction with hyperpolarized Xenon-129 for the assessment of lung ventilation, the chest coil can now be employed in the Signa Premier and Discovery MR750 3T MRI systems.

An interview with two experts to discuss newly released guidance for using standardized MRI protocols for patients with this condition.

While a large retrospective study found that interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) were evident on 1.7 percent of computed tomography (CT) scans, researchers found that 43.9 percent of ILAs, including fibrotic ILAs, were not reported.

Drs. Charles Liu and Jonathan Russin discuss the benefits and potential of fPACT, the alternative to functional MRI.

Agreement on follow-up imaging was 41 percent more likely with recommendations by thoracic radiologists and 36 percent less likely on recommendations for follow-up nuclear imaging, according to new research.

New research demonstrates that photon-counting computed tomography angiography (PC CTA) provides sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy rates of 90 percent and higher for the detection of stenotic disease in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
