Using MRI scans to measure iron content can help specialists learn more about stroke-related damage to the brain, according to a new study published by Radiology. Should such measurements be required after patients suffer a stroke?

Second-opinion breast MRI reviews by subspecialized radiologists can improve patient management and increase cancer detection, according to findings published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) are typically administered during follow-up imaging of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. According to new research published in Radiology, however, unenhanced MRI scans are sufficient.

Children and teenagers undergoing brain MRI scans experience little to no more claustrophobia or other form of anxiety than adults, so there’s no reason to exclude pediatric patients from MRI research on the basis of concern over stress. 

Analytics-driven worklists can help entire groups of radiologists achieve faster MRI interpretation times, according to new research published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

In a recently completed study at Washington University Medical Center in St. Louis, experienced radiologists were no more accurate than younger colleagues at diagnosing prostate cancer on multiparametric MRI.

South Texas Radiology Imaging Centers, San Antonio, recently became the first healthcare institution in the United States to install the MAGNETOM Sola, a 1.5 Tesla (1.5T), 70-cm magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner from Siemens Healthineers with a new magnet design in addition to BioMatrix patient personalization technology.

Imagers challenged to complete arm MR scans for extremely claustrophobic or morbidly obese patients can do the job with a standard scanner, a wrist and elbow coil—and enough space behind the scanner for the patient to sit or stand alongside.
