Wayne Forrest[email protected]MRIStudy: No residual gadolinium found after GBCA useAt least one gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) appears to be steering clear of problems related to gadolinium retention. Researchers in South Korea found no evidence of gadolinium retention following multiple administrations of the agent gadoterate meglumine, according to a study published online in PLOS One.September 19, 2017MRIfMRI cheese study wins Ig Nobel PrizeIt isn't every day that cheese is the focal point of a functional MRI (fMRI) study, but a foray by French researchers into an area of research that is seldom -- if ever -- explored earned them an Ig Nobel Prize.September 18, 2017MRIAuntMinnie.com MRI InsiderSeptember 17, 2017Nuclear MedicineFDG-PET/CT contributes to anal cancer follow-upGiven its high sensitivity and negative predictive value, French researchers are promoting FDG-PET/CT for its ability to assess response to treatment and redirect therapy for patients with recurrent or progressive anal cancer, in a study published in the September issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.September 12, 2017MRIFDA panel votes to add retention warning to GBCA labelsThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Medical Imaging Drugs Advisory Committee voted overwhelmingly on Friday to recommend that the agency revise prescribing information for MRI gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) to include a warning about gadolinium retention in certain organs and tissue.September 7, 2017MRIFDA panel to tackle questions on gadolinium retentionThe baffling issue of gadolinium retention in patients receiving gadolinium-based contrast agents for MRI scans will be front and center before a committee meeting of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday, September 8, in Silver Spring, MD.September 6, 2017MRIStudy measures allergic event rates for gadolinium contrastA meta-analysis of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) for MRI scans found that one linear GBCA had a lower rate of immediate allergic reactions than macrocyclic gadolinium contrast, according to results published online August 25 in Radiology.September 5, 2017MRIMRI elastograms better than biopsy to assess kidney scarringResearchers from Canada have discovered that MRI measurements of stiffness in patients who received kidney transplants can gauge damage to the organ and predict future kidney function within one year, according to a study published online August 30 in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.August 30, 2017MRIBreast MRI effective for postpartum breast cancerUsing MRI on women with breast cancer within one year of their giving birth can achieve sensitivity of almost 100% for detecting tumors and change surgical management in more than one in four cases, according to a study published in the September issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.August 29, 2017MRIMRI shows concussion effects can linger in athletesMR images show that the brains of athletes who have experienced a recent concussion continue to undergo subtle changes in structure and activity -- even after the athletes have been cleared to return to action, according to research published online August 24 in Scientific Reports.August 23, 2017Previous PagePage 64 of 239Next PageTop StoriesInterventionalGAE reduces pain biomarkers in knee osteoarthritisGenicular artery embolization (GAE) significantly reduces key biomarkers that drive pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.Residents/FellowsRace, ethnicity influence educational debt among radiology-bound MDsMRIMRI, CT findings correlate for assessing epicardial fat volumePractice ManagementImaging experts hope NSA enforcement bill delivers on accountabilityCTPET/CT identifies bone demineralization in breast cancer patients
