MRI aids discovery of new pregnancy contraction
May 28, 2020 -- Researchers using MRI to study blood flow through the placenta discovered a new type of contraction during pregnancy. The authors described the characteristics of the aptly named "utero-placental pump" in a study published on May 28 in PLOS Biology.

Discuss Gadolinium levels increase sharply in Tokyo rivers
May 28, 2020 -- The amount of gadolinium found in rivers around Tokyo has risen sharply over the last two decades, in line with a rapid proliferation of MRI scanners and an increasingly aging population that receives more contrast-enhanced exams, according to research published in the May issue of Marine Pollution Bulletin.

Discuss Breast MRI's better cancer detection outweighs false-positive 'harm'
May 28, 2020 -- Breast MRI can produce more false positives on initial screening in women at higher cancer risk -- an outcome many consider a "harm" -- but patients and their doctors may decide this is justified by the modality's higher cancer detection rate, according to a study published May 15 in Clinical Imaging.

Discuss Quantitative analysis of CT predicts COVID-19 outcomes
May 27, 2020 -- Quantitative computer-aided analysis of chest CT scans can help clinicians predict COVID-19 outcomes in hospitalized patients by providing information on a new metric: compromised lung volume, according to a preprint article published May 23 on Research Square.

Discuss Years later, DCIS tied to more imaging but not anxiety
May 26, 2020 -- In the five years after treatment, women with a history of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) are more likely than their peers to undergo breast imaging but not to have anxiety or depression, according to the findings of a study published on May 8 in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment.
