Understanding Prostate MRI Prostate MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is an advanced imaging technique used to visualize the prostate gland in high detail. Unlike traditional imaging methods, MRI provides clear, cross-sectional images of the prostate, allowing for better detection, characterization, and staging of prostate diseases, particularly prostate cancer.

In 2019, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) contracted with the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) to develop a quality measure focused on CT. Under the auspices of Alara Imaging , a measure steward entity established by the university, CMS plans to adopt the measure into its hospital and physician pay-for-performance programs beginning in 2025.

A more accurate way to scan for tuberculosis (TB) has been developed, using positron emission tomography (PET). The team has developed a new radiotracer, which is taken up by live TB bacteria in the body. Radiotracers are radioactive compounds which give off radiation that can be detected by scanners and turned into a 3D image. The new radiotracer, called FDT, enables PET scans to be used for the first time to accurately pinpoint when and where the disease is still active in a patient's lungs.

The hypothalamus is a small region of the human brain typically associated with regulating body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and sleep. But it also has another important role: helping the brain and body switch between different and opposing survival behaviors such as hunting prey and escaping predators, according to a new study.

No two hearts are the same. And no one knows that better than Shezhang Lin, MD. Lin spends his days creating detailed, interactive, models of patient’s hearts at UCSF’s 3DLab. His 3D heart models help surgeons visualize a patient’s heart before surgery, to better understand and address the unique case at hand, to plan the best surgical approach, and to help explain complex procedures to patients and their families.

Here at MRI Network, we’re all too aware that the nursing shortage continues to impact the healthcare industry across the United States. A shortage of dedicated nursing schools combined with an aging workforce means more nurses are retiring while fewer are receiving the relevant qualifications. However, other factors are at work, from post-pandemic burnout to long, unrelenting shifts with poor work-life balance.

About 40% of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime, and patients are getting younger. At the same time, the cost of treatment continues to rise, with employers spending 8.5% more on cancer care for each employee than they did last year. The best thing employers can do for their employees and business tomorrow is to invest in cancer detection and care today.
