How to calculate your MRI suite safety score

How effective are the safety practices in your MRI suite? Find out how your facility scores when it comes to safety by using this interactive calculator, developed by MRI architectural consultant Tobias Gilk. Your score can help determine how effective your current safety practices are and, more importantly, help identify ways to improve safety for your patients and staff.

Medical gases in the MRI suite

Historically, the average patient for most MRI facilities walks in, spends 20 to 40 minutes in the scanner, and walks out. But the clinical benefits of MRI have grown well beyond the healthy and ambulatory, and more patients are requiring medical gas services, ranging from supplemental oxygen to full ventilation. Imaging providers would do well to consider their current and future needs for including these services in their MRI suites, according to MRI architectural consultant Tobias Gilk.

Brains age faster among residents in disadvantaged neighborhoods

By Amerigo Allegretto

MRI data show that living in disadvantaged neighborhoods is tied to adverse brain health.

September 15, 2026

National and state neighborhood-level disadvantage rankings of the study patients. (A) National disadvantage rankings are shown. Left: area deprivation scores mapped onto the state of Wisconsin, where the study sample resides, with national ranking deciles shown. Blue indicates less disadvantaged neighborhoods, whereas red indicates more disadvantaged neighborhoods. Right: histogram quantifying the number of patients in each Area Deprivation Index (ADI) decile. (B) Same as A, but state ranking deciles are shown. The distributions of both the national and state-level ADI rankings of the patients were skewed toward less disadvantaged neighborhoods. Maps were obtained from reference 36.

CAIX-targeted PET tracer shows promise in patients with ccRCC

Ga-68 DPI-4452 PET/CT correctly identified all 23 primary clear cell renal cell carcinoma tumors, achieving 100% sensitivity.

September 14, 2026

Representative Ga-68 DPI-4452 PET/CT images of regional and distant metastases in ccRCC from multiple patients, including regional lymph node (A), bilateral adrenal glands (B), lung (C), and bone (D). For each panel, top row shows fused PET/CT images, middle row shows PET-only images, and bottom row shows unenhanced CT images. Target lesions are highlighted by white arrows on fused/CT images and black arrows on PET images.
