MR imaging finds hidden intra-abdominal fat in teens
MRI has proven to be a reliable, fast, noninvasive means for assessing deep fat in adults. It can also be effective in high-risk pre-adolescents and adolescents, according to a study in the March issue of Radiology.
MRI has proven to be a reliable, fast, noninvasive means for assessing deep fat in adults. It can also be effective in high-risk pre-adolescents and adolescents, according to a study in the March issue of Radiology. Internal fat around the abdominal organs is potentially harmful and difficult to assess.
Dr. Marilyn J. Siegel and colleagues at Washington University's Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology in St. Louis assessed 20 boys and 10 girls between the ages of 10 and 18 who underwent single-section and whole-abdominal multisection MRI.
The investigators found that T1-weighted MRI measurements of abdominal adipose tissue corresponded with results from anthropometric assessment and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (Radiology 242:846-856).
FDA Grants Expanded 510(k) Clearance for Xenoview 3T MRI Chest Coil in GE HealthCare MRI Platforms
November 21st 2024Utilized 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.
New Study Examines Agreement Between Radiologists and Referring Clinicians on Follow-Up Imaging
November 18th 2024Agreement 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.
