Three-D MRI predicts course of polycystic kidney disease
Volumetric MR scanning can track structural changes preceding the onset of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
Volumetric MR scanning can track structural changes preceding the onset of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, according to a study by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Principal investigator Dr. Jared J. Grantham and colleagues enrolled 241 patients with autosomal dominant PKD and normal to mildly impaired kidney function. They used a 3D MRI technique to measure the patients' kidneys, their cysts, and the proportion of renal tissue occupied by the cysts (NEJM 2006;354[20]:2122-2130).
MRI data showed that cysts large and small grew almost simultaneously and at steady rates in both kidneys and regardless of patient age.
Can Generative AI Facilitate Simulated Contrast Enhancement for Prostate MRI?
January 14th 2025Deep learning synthesis of contrast-enhanced MRI from non-contrast prostate MRI sequences provided an average multiscale structural similarity index of 70 percent with actual contrast-enhanced prostate MRI in external validation testing from newly published research.
Can MRI Have an Impact with Fertility-Sparing Treatments for Endometrial and Cervical Cancers?
January 9th 2025In a literature review that includes insights from recently issued guidelines from multiple European medical societies, researchers discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in facilitating appropriate patient selection for fertility-sparing treatments to address early-stage endometrial and cervical cancer.
