Ultrafast MRI exam bests standard MRI for classifying breast cancers

AuntMinnie

An ultrafast MRI-based radiomics model performs just as well as standard MRI and isnt dependent on radiologist experience, according to research published January 25 in La Radiologia Medica. Ultrafast MRI offers faster temporal resolution than standard MRI, allowing for shorter scan times and better assessment of tumor kinetics.

DL algorithm targeting prostate cancer demonstrates clinical impact

AuntMinnie

When radiologists interpretations are indeterminate, a commercially available deep learning algorithm could find clinically significant prostate cancer with improved specificity while maintaining sensitivity, suggested research published March 11 in Radiology. A majority (179) of participants underwent multiparametric MRI, the authors noted.

ECR: PET/MRI highly effective for detecting prostate cancer

AuntMinnie

Hybrid PET/MRI scans outperform either technique alone for identifying tumors in high-risk patients with suspected prostate cancer, according to research presented February 27 at ECR in Vienna. Our preliminary data confirmed the potential increase of sensitivity of the combined use of PSMA PET with MRI compared to each modality alone.

New MRI method shows treatment effects in lung transplant patients

AuntMinnie

A new method of MRI lung scanning shows the effects of treatment for compromised lung function in transplant patients, U.K. The method consists of using a special gas called perfluoropropane that can be seen on an MRI scanner, wrote a team led by Prof. researchers have reported.

7-minute shoulder MRI scans are feasible

AuntMinnie

A commercially available deep-learning (DL) algorithm can enable good quality seven-minute shoulder MRI exams, according to research published February 18 in Radiology. Seven radiologists evaluated the MRI scan quality and the presence of artifacts using a Likert scale ranging from 1 (very bad/severe) to 5 (very good/absent).

Adding AI to brain MRI finds previously occult epilepsy lesions in kids

AuntMinnie

Using an AI tool with brain MRI in children finds 64% of focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) -- abnormalities linked to epilepsy -- that radiologists miss, researchers have reported. in MRI-negative patients with FCD. The study was published February 24 in JAMA Neurology. in patients who were seizure-free a year after surgery and 63.7%

RSNA and collaborators release statement on AI for cardiac CT, MRI

AuntMinnie

To better assess the current landscape and challenges of AI applications in cardiac CT and MRI specifically, the paper aims to bridge the gap between burgeoning research developments and limited clinical applications, according to lead author Domenico Mastrodicasa, MD, from the University of Washington in Seattle, and colleagues.
