Biparametric prostate MRIs take significantly less time than multiparametric exams, as they do not include a contrast-enhanced sequence. This also makes the abbreviated exams more cost-friendly.
Using an advanced MRI technique, experts were able to measure tissue susceptibility and detect subtle variances in iron levels throughout different regions of the brain associated with memory.
Evaluating LVDF with echocardiography or AI-powered electrocardiography can help identify individuals at an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation, according to new data presented at the ASE 36th Annual Scientific Sessions.
Reuters reported that 500 institutions are linked to the proposals. In total, $50 million is up for grabs as part of HHS’ Autism Data Science Initiative.

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is one the single most common causes of hypertension, but identifying patients with PA—and knowing which ones may benefit from a surgical treatment—can be quite challenging.
The 10-minute scan can “light up” aldosterone-producing nodules in the adrenal glands following an injection of metomidate—a radioactive dye that binds specifically to aldosterone-producing nodules.
"These findings provide further insight into the positive effects of the DASH diet ... and highlight the need for public health policies and interventions that support sustained adherence to a healthy eating pattern," researchers wrote.
Experts argue that the overall incidence of blunt cerebrovascular injury is very low and that symptomatic vascular injuries in these cases are even lower.
When trained with high-fidelity simulation, junior radiology residents can master the discipline of reading whole-body CTs right at the trauma scanner—and doing so with high diagnostic accuracy, work speed and interpretive confidence.
