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.

A new AI algorithm developed by researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, can identify lung tumors from MRI scans faster than other advanced methods.

Researchers used T2 mapping taken from weekly cardiac MRIs to help identify cardiotoxicity at an early stage, according to results of a pig study published Feb. 18 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. The findings could help cancer patients at risk of chemo-induced heart failure.

At an academic health system in Boston, referring physicians have been ordering more breast MRI scans since Massachusetts mandated that mammographers inform patients in writing of their breast density.
