Recent research found strain parameters taken from a cine MRI-based deformable registration algorithm (DRA) can determine the severity of amyloid buildup in the heart and may provide prognostic information on patients with light-chain (AL) amyloidosis.

Maltodextrin imaging agents can distinguish bacterial infections from inflamed areas, according to a rat study published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging. Ideally, this finding could lead to novel tracers to catch infections from implanted cardiac devices (ICDs) before they require removal.

MRI of cerebral functional network connectivity in comatose patients who recently suffered cardiac arrest may help determine if they will recover cognitive abilities at one year, according to a new study published April 23 in Radiology.

MRI of brain connectivity performed in an early phase after cardiac arrest showed the potential to identify if a patient may recover cognitive functional ability after one year.

CMS updated its National Coverage Determination (NCD) conditions granting MRI eligibility to Medicare beneficiaries with implanted pacemakers or cardioverter defibrillators.

An old McDonald's-turned-MRI center doesn't sound all that important, but for pathologist Robert Kagan, it was a unique location to start practicing medical imaging in one of the first outpatient MRI centers in the U.S.

Despite reports questioning if gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) can accumulate in the body and lead to adverse health effects, imaging providers should still use them when necessary, according to an editorial published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

NHS England selected HeartFlow's analysis system to be a part of its Innovation and Technology Payment (ITP) program, according to an April 10 article by Cardiovascular Business.
