Postmortem MRI shows sudden cardiac death invisible at autopsy
In results that add substantial forensic power to identifying the cause of death, postmortem cardiac 3-tesla MRI has been found to identify sudden cardiac death in cases that are invisible at conventional autopsy, according to new research published online in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

CT scans do double duty as osteoporosis test
In an era of healthcare cuts that often lead to fewer procedures being performed, existing CT data offer the rare advantage of a free extra test -- namely a bone mineral density study that's there for the taking but that usually goes unused, according to an article in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Advanced CT reconstruction improves cardiac plaque assessment
Automated plaque assessment in coronary CT angiography is a promising new way to evaluate a patient's plaque burden quickly and noninvasively -- but it won't be quick or accurate without the use of advanced iterative reconstruction, according to researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

Automated CT dose maps tailor radiation dose to patients
A new technique aimed at mapping CT radiation dose individually for each patient is showing just how far from reality the current standard for calculating dose can be, especially in obese patients, researchers concluded at the 2013 European Congress of Radiology.

Radiology train wrecks, or how to ruin imaging and your career
For radiology trainees, learning how not to behave is just as important as learning the right way to conduct yourself in the imaging suite. In fact, radiology's image to the public may depend on trainees learning what not to do.

Hospital taps residents to direct quality improvement program
A Boston hospital has found a solution to the persistent lack of involvement by residents in case reporting: Appoint a resident as director of quality improvement each year, according to an article in the April edition of Academic Radiology. The move has led to a culture change in how errors are reported at the institution.

3D wide-area CT distinguishes tracheomalacia from stenosis
Dynamic wide-area CT can easily distinguish two different but similar-appearing types of central airway narrowing that are hard to diagnose on conventional MDCT. Even a low-dose protocol captures the information reliably, according to researchers from China.

Don't laugh: Comics can improve resident training
The practice of medicine is typically no laughing matter. But a doctor from Pennsylvania has found that medical training can be improved through one of the lighter forms of popular culture: comic books. He's worked with a graphic artist to develop a five-page comic that deals with a case based on his own experience.

MRI links long-COVID brain fog to lung function
By Will Morton
MRI shows that lower pulmonary gas exchange in the lungs of long-COVID patients may be associated with cognitive symptoms.
November 26, 2024
Individuals in the study were plotted with the x-axis being rank of pulmonary gas exchange. The black dots show the pulmonary gas exchange ratio (red blood cell to tissue plasma ratio, RBC:mem) on the left y-axis and the blue dots are the cognition scores on the right y-axis. Gas exchange maps of three representative patients from a low, medium, and high pulmonary gas exchange. Image courtesy of RSNA.
