Another new entrant in the low-field MRI sweepstakes, InnerVisionMRI of London, England, displayed impeccable timing by receiving510(k) clearance for its 0.14-tesla permanent magnet scanner justweeks before the RSNA meeting (SCAN 11/20/96). The scanner willbe displayed as Ortho 8000 in the booth of Vision Medical Servicesof Ontario, CA, which has U.S. rights to the system.
Vision will emphasize Ortho 8000's small footprint and minimalsiting requirements, its open-aperture magnet, and affordableprice and operating costs. The system will be targeted at orthopedic,pediatric, and interventional applications.
New MRI Research Explores Links Between Waist-to-Hip Ratio and Memory in Aging
March 13th 2025Researchers found that a higher waist-to-hip ratio in midlife was associated with higher mean diffusivity in 26 percent of total white matter tracts in the cingulum as well as the superior and inferior longitudinal fasciculus.
Can Ultrasound-Based Radiomics Enhance Differentiation of HER2 Breast Cancer?
March 11th 2025Multicenter research revealed that a combined model of clinical factors and ultrasound-based radiomics exhibited greater than a 23 percent higher per patient-level accuracy rate for identifying HER2 breast cancer than a clinical model.
