These devices have been tested with lower MRI fields, like 1.5T and 3T, but less is known about their compatibility with more powerful 7T equipment. 

Brian Lindman, MD, medical director of the Structural Heart and Valve Center, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, explains the new American Heart Association (AHA) Target Aortic Stenosis (AS) program to screen with echo to find more AS patients. 

The findings were also found to be associated with the severity of symptoms in individuals with ASD.

An established radiopharmaceutical can now be applied with the FDA’s blessing when symptoms of cognitive decline point to the second most common form of degenerative dementia (after only Alzheimer’s disease).

And the method does not come at the expense of diagnostic yield, an uptick in adverse events or increased procedure times.

Vessel wall imaging—an MRI technique that offers high resolution images of the vessel wall—may hold clues as to the mechanisms by which COVID infections continue to cause neurologic symptoms after initial recovery in some patients.
