Multiparametric MRI can help avoid renal mass biopsies
Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern have discovered that radiologists using multiparametric MRI have an 80% chance of detecting clear cell carcinoma in the kidneys without the need for a confirming biopsy. In addition, the technique was successful among radiologists with varying levels of expertise.

Deep learning analyzes PET for signs of dementia
A deep-learning algorithm that analyzed FDG-PET was able to differentiate between normal cognition and dementia. Such models could someday help radiologists diagnose Alzheimer's disease, especially if they don't see the condition often, according to a study presented at the RSNA 2017 meeting.

FDA issues directive on GBCA labeling, safety research
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Tuesday issued a directive requiring that manufacturers of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) add a new warning to their product labeling that notifies healthcare providers that patients could retain gadolinium long after an MRI scan.

X-ray fluorescence detects retained gadolinium in bone
As the safety of gadolinium MRI contrast is hotly debated, one of the challenges has been detecting gadolinium deposition in living patients. Canadian researchers may have found a solution to the dilemma with an x-ray fluorescence system that can noninvasively detect trace elements of gadolinium in exposed individuals.

MRI confirms prostate cancer with lower dose of GBCA
MRI scans with a reduced dose of a gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) can be more effective than scans with a standard dose in differentiating between malignant and benign lesions in prostate cancer patients, according to a study presented recently at RSNA 2017.
