MRI, MRS scans reveal who will lose weight
MRI and MR spectroscopy can identify fat distribution within the body and thus determine who will benefit most from lifestyle changes.
MRI and MR spectroscopy can identify fat distribution within the body and thus determine who will benefit most from lifestyle changes. Study subjects whose health improved the most after lifestyle changes started out with lower baseline levels of abdominal and liver fat.
German researchers performed MRI and MR spectroscopy on 243 individuals prior to and nine months after a lifestyle intervention (weight loss of 5%, reduced fat intake, and moderate physical activity). Each of the participants was considered at risk of developing type 2 diabetes as a result of obesity.
After nine months, insulin sensitivity improved in 71% of the men and 58% of the women. Individuals with improved insulin sensitivity lost significant amounts of abdominal fat (19% for women and 20% for men) and liver fat (35% for women and 44% for men) (Radiol doi:10.1148/radiol.10092284).
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
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.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
