The modality switch became especially important during the iodinated contrast shortage of 2022 when clinics were forced to deploy mitigation tactics as a means of preserving their contrast supply. 

The new technique mixes MRI signals at different gradient pulse strengths and timings, offering better visualization of differences in the way water molecules move through tissues.  

Although gadolinium-based contrast agents are largely considered safe and are routinely used for MRI exams, experts suggest that providers should still utilize GBCAs sparingly for musculoskeletal studies.

Newly published data recently revealed just how common the extent of prostate cancer is underestimated based on imaging measurements. 

Someday, getting an MRI exam could be as simple as having food delivered to your door—at least that is the hope of a group of experts at the University of Minnesota who are working on a compact system said to be small enough to sit in the bed of a truck.

In alliance with Polarean, Philips is rolling out a new MR system with advanced multi-nuclei imaging capabilities that will offer radiologists a detailed evaluation of lung ventilation using xenon gas as a contrast agent.

Up to 37% of patients presenting with transient ischemic attack do not receive a full neurovascular imaging work-up, according to new data published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. 

The tool uses a machine learning technique to identify changes on brain MRIs that would otherwise be overlooked by radiologists due to the subtlety of alterations.
