CAD for breast MRI improves sensitivity; accuracy not so much May 24, 2013 -- Computer-aided detection (CAD) technology improves sensitivity in breast MRI for both experienced and novice readers, but it does not significantly advance overall accuracy, according to a study published in the June issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Chinese MRI researchers arrested on conspiracy, bribery charges May 21, 2013 -- Federal authorities have arrested Chinese researchers who worked on MRI technology at NYU Langone Medical Center for allegedly acquiring research money from the U.S. government and then sharing technological information with a Chinese company and government-sponsored research institute in China.
GE to ship MRI protocol for patients with metal implants May 16, 2013 -- GE Healthcare on May 15 said it plans to begin shipping MAVRIC SL, a combination of MRI acquisition protocol and postprocessing software designed to enhance the accuracy of soft-tissue and bone imaging in patients with metal implants that could make them unsuited for MRI with conventional techniques.
Simultaneous PET/MRI most accurate for image alignment May 15, 2013 -- In a comparison of hybrid imaging modalities, simultaneous whole-body PET/MRI is more accurate than retrospectively fused PET and MR images in abdominal organs and better than PET/CT in the urinary bladder, according to a study published online May 8 in Radiology.
Volumetric MR images boost cervical cancer treatment planning May 13, 2013 -- Three-dimensional volumetric MR images of cervical disease yield a bounty of critical information, enabling precise planning of brachytherapy for residual tumors, according to researchers from St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix.
Study shows feasibility of cardiac PET/MRI -- with caveats May 9, 2013 -- Cardiac FDG-PET/MRI is feasible on an integrated whole-body PET/MRI system, but the hybrid modality still must prove it adds clinical relevance to cases of ischemic heart disease, according to a study published online May 7 in Radiology.
ASBS: Breast MRI helps assess patient prognosis May 8, 2013 -- MRI evaluation following breast cancer diagnosis can improve a woman's long-term prognosis, as the modality is able to detect lymph-node metastases associated with poorer outcomes, according to research presented on May 3 at the American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBS) annual meeting in Chicago.
Breast MRI changes cancer treatment in many women over 60 May 3, 2013 -- A new study led by Dr. Stamatia Destounis found that women older than 60 years saw changes to their initial cancer treatment plan approximately 50% of the time after undergoing MRI to determine the extent of disease.
MRI shows rotator cable's influence in rotator cuff injuries April 30, 2013 -- Using MRI, researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center believe they have taken an important first step in understanding the rotator cable's role in both intact and torn rotator cuffs, which, in turn, could improve characterization of a patient's injury or disease.
MRI adds to cancer detection in women with breast implants April 25, 2013 -- When used as an adjunct to mammography and ultrasound, MRI can find additional cancers and provide more detail about their location in patients with breast implants, according to a study from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
