AI may help improve management of stroke patients
February 5, 2020 -- Artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can determine from multiparametric MRI exams if a stroke patient's symptoms began within 4.5 hours -- the recommended window of time for a patient to be treated with thrombolysis, according to research published online January 28 in Stroke.

Deep learning distinguishes between Alzheimer's, iNPH
February 3, 2020 -- A deep-learning algorithm can differentiate between Alzheimer's disease and idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) on MRI scans at a comparable accuracy to radiologists, according to research published online January 22 in Magnetic Resonance in Medical Sciences.

MRI scoring system improves ovarian cancer detection
February 3, 2020 -- Researchers from France and the U.K. have developed an MRI-based, five-point scoring system that can distinguish between malignant and benign ovarian cysts with an accuracy of 90% when ultrasound exams are inconclusive, according to a study published January 24 in JAMA Network Open.

MRI data show smoking, alcohol age the brain
January 31, 2020 -- It is no secret that excessive smoking and alcohol consumption harm one's health. Now, MR images and a machine-learning metric show that these bad habits also can age the brain prematurely, according to a study published online on January 30 in Scientific Reports. Read More

No signs of residual gadolinium after MR arthrography
January 29, 2020 -- No signs of residual gadolinium uptake in the brain were found following intra-articular administration of a gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) for MR arthrography in a new study, published online January 25 in Skeletal Radiology. The findings indicate that residual gadolinium may not occur with intra-articular use. Read More

Deep learning could help MS patients avoid GBCA MRI
January 28, 2020 -- With the aid of a deep-learning model, a team of researchers has detected with greater than 70% accuracy active lesions in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), potentially helping them avoid repeat MRI scans and multiple doses of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs), according to a study published in the February issue of Radiology.
