Time-of-flight intracranial MRA at 5T comparable to 7T, new analysis shows

The University of Southern California was among the first imaging centers in the U.S. to install a 7T MRI. This high-end part of the MRI market is small and is mainly made up of academic research centers. The main MRI market is made of of 1.5T systems, but there is rising demand for 3T, which Signify research may eventually become the standard for MRI.

A new paper published in Radiology details an analysis of 3-T, 5T and 7T MRI to determine which system could achieve the best intracranial vascular image quality.

Unmet needs birth a new breed of radiology partner: The story behind Collaborative Imaging

Business meeting

This is the story of how Texas Radiology Associates’ Managing Partner Ted Wen, MD, along with his board devised a plan to utilize expensive, top-tier technologies without having to turn to private equity. In the process, they started Collaborative Imaging—an industry-revolutionizing disruptor that’s helping rad practices across the U.S. to boost efficiency and economics.
