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.

These findings warrant serious consideration by physicians caring for pregnant women in the future, as the link between poor mental health and placental development remains “underappreciated.”

Experts recently identified alterations in regions of the brain that process smell in COVID long-haulers.

Experts recently gained a better understanding of how axillary lymphadenopathy presents on breast MRI following COVID boosters.

In comparison to a cohort of individuals who were unaffected by either condition, the differences in brain stem volume were found to be significant, according to a paper published recently in Frontiers in Neuroscience. 

Both vaccine status and variant type were shown to be associated with differing COVID severity and chest CT patterns. 

A team of cardiologists and radiologists collaborated on the study, using advanced imaging to take a closer look at the long-term impact of vaccination.
