Wayne Forrest[email protected]MRI5-minute shoulder MRI could ease patient anxietyBy taking advantage of parallel imaging on the latest generation of 1.5- and 3-tesla scanners, researchers have devised a quick five-minute shoulder MRI protocol that still produces diagnostic-quality images, according to a study in the April issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.April 18, 2017Nuclear MedicinePET plays key role in preventive Alzheimer's studyWith projections that the number of people living with Alzheimer's disease in the U.S. could more than triple by the year 2050, 65 research institutions are collaborating on a clinical trial using PET scans to identify the disease in its earliest stages, as well as guide the use of potential therapeutic agents.April 18, 2017Nuclear MedicineAuntMinnie.com Molecular Imaging InsiderApril 16, 2017MRINew study reveals why many MRI scans are delayedIf MRI scans are running behind schedule on a given day, chances are good that patient-related issues are to blame. More specifically, patient motion, claustrophobia, and late arrivals are the most common reasons, according to a March 26 article in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.April 13, 2017Nuclear MedicinePET links midlife vascular risk factors to more amyloidFlorbetapir-PET scans show that midlife adults with two or more vascular risk factors are significantly more likely to have greater levels of amyloid deposits in their brains later in life than peers with no such risk factors, according to a study published April 11 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.April 11, 2017Nuclear MedicineReduced FDG dose levels for PET/MRI show mixed resultsEven though a lower dose of FDG did not significantly affect lesion detection for most adult cancer patients undergoing a whole-body PET/MRI scan, German researchers recommend that clinicians stay with recommended levels to avoid artifacts, according to a study published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.April 5, 2017MRIMachine learning could reduce inappropriate knee MRI scansSupported by machine-learning technology, researchers have developed a natural language processing algorithm that successfully automates classification of MRI knee scans to better understand MRI utilization, according to a study in the April issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.April 2, 2017MRIfMRI scans may help choose depression treatment strategyResearchers using functional MRI (fMRI) have found specific patterns of brain activity that may help determine whether behavioral therapy or antidepressant medication is better for patients with depression, according to research published online March 24 in the American Journal of Psychiatry.March 26, 2017MRIPediatric radiology abandons linear gadolinium contrastConcerns over possible gadolinium retention in the brain have prompted more than half of surveyed pediatric radiology departments in the U.S. to switch from a linear gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) to a macrocyclic GBCA within the past year, according to a study published online March 10 in Pediatric Radiology.March 20, 2017MRIMRI shows less gray matter in kids with sleep apneaMRI scans have revealed significant reductions of gray matter in several brain regions of children with moderate or severe obstructive sleep apnea, compared with children who sleep normally, according to a paper published online March 17 in Scientific Reports, one of the Nature journals.March 19, 2017Previous PagePage 70 of 239Next PageTop StoriesMRIHow multiparametric MRI can detect more prostate cancerThe study results could help further clarify the modality's benefits for this indication.AILLMs show improvement over a year on RSNA Case of the Day questionsWomens ImagingAlgorithms from RSNA's AI mammography challenge perform wellAISaMD-based AI is poised to 'transform clinical care'Digital X-RayC-spine x-ray safe and effective in blunt pediatric trauma cases
