AI model could enable gadolinium-free cardiac MRI
By Erik L. Ridley
Researchers developed an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that accurately detected chronic myocardial infarction on noncontrast-enhanced cardiac cine MRI, potentially obviating the need for gadolinium-based contrast agents in these patients, according to research published online April 30 in Radiology.

Radiation events prompt FDA notice on Rb-82 generators
By Wayne Forrest
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has bolstered its requirement for safety labels on rubidium-82 (Rb-82) generators for PET studies. The action follows reports of a "serious incident" of excess radiation exposure to patients caused by what the FDA called "user error."

PET/MRI offers view to atherosclerotic disease origin
By Wayne Forrest
PET/MRI is providing an avenue for researchers to discover early indications of atherosclerotic disease and inflammation in arterial regions that have not yet developed plaques, which, in turn, lead to heart attack and stroke, according to a study published online March 25 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
