MRI reveals brain changes in technologist with COVID-19
June 1, 2020 -- MRI scans of a 25-year-old Italian radiologic technologist who contracted COVID-19 and lost her sense of smell suggest the virus may invade the brain through the olfactory pathway and cause dysfunction of sensorineural origin. This finding was published online by JAMA Neurology on May 29.

Discuss PET/MRI shows inflammation link to mitral valve prolapse
June 1, 2020 -- Researchers using a hybrid PET/MRI scanner detected a link between degenerative mitral valve prolapse and F-18 FDG uptake, a surrogate for myocardial inflammation and/or ischemia. The results, published online May 27 in JAMA Cardiology, apply to asymptomatic patients as well, suggesting an ongoing subclinical disease process.

Discuss Remote reading prepares group for COVID-19 response
June 1, 2020 -- When a radiology group in Northern California "took back the night" by insourcing its overnight teleradiology image interpretation several years ago, it had no idea it was also preparing itself for a more effective response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Jason Wiesner of Sutter Health explains.

Discuss 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.
