A new audio phone is integrated into CinemaVision's headset. This enables the technologist to hear the patient distinctly during scans and allows for conversations. Enhanced noise cancellation technology is installed as well.
Patients will also be able to see the faces of attending technologists. In addition, CinemaVision will offer movies and other forms of patient entertainment. Resonance will also debut a 1000 Hz MRI eye-tracker camera along with data analysis software for use with its VisuaStim audiovisual stimulation module.
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.
Meta-Analysis Shows No Difference Between bpMRI and mpMRI in Ruling Out csPCa
March 6th 2025In an 18-study meta-analysis involving over 4,600 patients, researchers found that bpMRI and mpMRI had equivalent pooled negative predictive value (NPV) of 92 percent for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa).
