The team’s work will emphasize the role of specialized MRI techniques capable of detecting subtle changes around tumors with the help of pH-based imaging.
Using a virtual reality headset, the system, dubbed AR-VIU (augmented real-time volumetric imaging in ultrasound), creates a 3D rendering of anatomy based on 2D ultrasound images.
The checklist was created to walk researchers through every operational step of using portable MRI, from creating protocols to prepping patients, ensuring patient safety, handling incidental findings, data privacy and more.
Jessica Porembka, MD, of the breast imaging division at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, said an ultrasound-first strategy for these lesions in DBT is cost-effective and improves efficiency.
Radiology researchers have developed and validated an automated program for tracking incidental imaging findings. The system facilitates communications between radiologists, patients and primary care providers whenever such findings turn up.
New research findings could help explain the “obesity paradox,” wherein being overweight is linked to both improved outcomes in certain diseases and increased mortality rates in others.
Cannabis use is on the rise throughout the United States, but it is not as harmless as some people may believe. An in-depth analysis out of Stanford explored the many cardiovascular risks associated with regular cannabis use.
