FDA Clears New 1.5T MRI Coil
InkSpace Imaging’s 24-channel MRI coil, which will be included in Magnetom 1.5T scanners from Siemens Healthineers, reportedly facilitates quicker set-ups for technologists and enhanced spatial resolution.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for a 1.5T, 24-channel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) coil, which reportedly enables improvements in workflow efficiency, image quality and patient comfort.
InkSpace Imaging, the developer of the new MRI coil, said high-density coil elements enhance spatial resolution and parallel imaging compatibility helps reduce artifacts while facilitating scan time reductions.
In addition to streamlining scan set-ups for technologists, the newly FDA-cleared 1.5T, 24-channel MRI coil bolsters spatial resolution and helps reduce artifacts, according to InkSpace Imaging, the developer of the new MRI coil. (Photo courtesy of InkSpace Imaging.)
The 1.5T MRI coil, which will be included in Magnetom MRI scanners from Siemens Healthineers, also streamlines scan set-ups for technologists, according to InkSpace Imaging. The company added that the ultra-lightweight coil conforms to patient anatomy, ensuring comfort for diverse body types.
“The 1.5T MR coil sets a new benchmark for image quality and operational efficiency, empowering radiologists to achieve better patient outcomes,” added Peter Fischer, the CEO of InkSpace Imaging.
Surveillance Breast MRI Associated with Lower Risks of Advanced Second Breast Cancers
January 8th 2025After propensity score matching in a study of over 3,000 women with a personal history of breast cancer, researchers found that surveillance breast MRI facilitated a 59 percent lower risk in advanced presentations of second breast cancers.
Abbreviated MRI for Hepatocellular Carcinoma: What a New Meta-Analysis Reveals
January 6th 2025For hepatocellular carcinoma screening, a 19-study meta-analysis found the abbreviated MRI sequencing protocol of T2-weighted MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and hepatobiliary phase (HBP) imaging offered 88 percent sensitivity and 93 percent specificity.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
