MR imaging is indicated for mad cow disease diagnosis
RI should be included among the World Health Organization's options for diagnosing sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which is associated with exposure to mad cow disease, according to Dr. Henriette Tschampa and colleagues at the Clinical University of Bonn, Germany.
MRI should be included among the World Health Organization's options for diagnosing sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, which is associated with exposure to mad cow disease, according to Dr. Henriette Tschampa and colleagues at the Clinical University of Bonn, Germany.
The researchers enrolled 193 consecutive patients suspected of having the condition. In 442 scans, MR's sensitivity and specificity were nearly 70% and 85%, respectively, in patients with a clinical or postmortem sCJD diagnosis. Sensitivity and specificity for EEG and 14-3-3 protein analysis were 32% and 94%, and 91% and 44%, respectively, they reported at the RSNA meeting. Even though interpretation of MR scans may require some effort, the modality provides useful information that could narrow down an sCJD diagnosis.
New CT and MRI Research Shows Link Between LR-M Lesions and Rapid Progression of Early-Stage HCC
January 2nd 2025Seventy percent of LR-M hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases were associated with rapid growth in comparison to 12.5 percent of LR-4 HCCs and 28.5 percent of LR-4 HCCs, according to a new study.
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.
