A dual-modality approach worked well for French researchers who combined PET and MRI to improve their analysis of vasculitis abnormalities in a study published August 27 in Scientific Reports.September 4, 2019MRIAuntMinnie.com MRI InsiderSeptember 2, 2019Molecular ImagingFDG-PET/CT helps predict tuberculosis relapseWhen FDG-PET/CT scans reveal lingering metabolic activity in the lungs of tuberculosis (TB) patients after treatment, approximately 10% of them will experience a relapse of the disease within six months, according to a study published online August 26 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.August 27, 2019MRIMRI of LV hypertrophy helps predict severe outcomesUsing MRI to measure left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy enables clinicians to better predict death and heart failure related to coronary artery disease than coronary artery calcium scores from CT, according to a study published August 27 in Radiology.August 27, 2019MRI7T MRI warrants its own set of safety guidelinesThe increasing utilization of 7-tesla MRI in the clinical setting has prompted a group of safety experts to call for the creation of specific standardized tests and recommendations for ultrahigh-field MRI scanners to prevent harmful events for patients and staff. The initiative is detailed in an article in the September issue of Radiology.August 25, 2019MRIMost MRI-related adverse events are preventableA review of more than 1,500 adverse events over 10 years in MRI suites reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) shows that many of these incidents are preventable, according to a study published online August 16 in Medical Physics.August 22, 2019MRI3T MRI can identify visual sign to distinguish MSEuropean researchers have identified a visual sign on 3-tesla MR images that effectively diagnoses and distinguishes multiple sclerosis (MS) from other conditions with similar symptoms, according to a study published August 19 in JAMA Neurology.August 21, 2019Molecular ImagingWhich nuclear modality has the lowest dose for CHD?Reducing radiation exposure from myocardial perfusion imaging is a key priority, especially for congenital heart disease (CHD) patients who face repetitive scanning. Which nuclear imaging modality and radiotracer are best for this task is the subject of a study published August 12 in the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology.August 20, 2019Previous PagePage 20 of 239Next PageTop StoriesMRIRadiomics models based on pituitary MRI predict GHDThe model can help determine if growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is the cause of children's short stature.InterventionalEVT improves outcomes in stroke patients over age 90Practice ManagementMost patients confused when trying to read radiology reportsNuclear MedicineLLMs rapidly evolving in nuclear medicineSponsor ContentJoin Us!
