Vigilance needed to ensure safety in pediatric MR imaging, experts warn

The conclusions are based on an analysis of safety data from five leading pediatric hospitals, spanning 2017 to 2022, published in JACR.

New ultrasound needle yielded more substantial tissue samples

New ultrasound needle could significantly improve tissue yield during biopsies

Vibrating at up to 30,000 times per second, the sonographic device helps tissue to detach more easily without inflicting a large puncture wound to collect an adequate amount of tissue.

A majority of medical devices involved in Class I recalls were never required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to undergo premarket or postmarket clinical testing, according to new research published in Annals of Internal Medicine.[1]

Bayer's new imaging agent for cardiac amyloidosis impresses in clinical trial

The REVEAL study has been assessing the sensitivity and specificity of iodine 124 evuzamitide (I 124 evuzamitide), a PET agent capable of visualizing signs of cardiac amyloidosis on imaging.
