Adjusting contrast dose based on a patient’s lean body weight provides the same image quality as other administration methods, new data show.

Around one out of every 1,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism every year, but even more undergo imaging to rule out clots.  

Experts have developed a first-of-its-kind fluorinated contrast agent they believe will provide more detailed MR imaging and aid in the treatment of certain cancers. 

In some cases, contrast doses can be reduced by as much as 62% without sacrificing diagnostic quality.

This reduction protocol allows for acceptable lesion visualization while also providing a cautionary cushion when the safety of sequential contrast injections is in question.

The man's wife told the court that he had undergone similar scans multiple times before and had never experienced any sort of adverse reaction. 

Researchers are proposing making additional phases beyond the 10-minute mark mandatory when analyzing brain metastases.

The machine learning-based software uses a formula called the Integrated Jacobian Formulation to calculate lung volume based on metrics derived from imaging taken during inhalation and exhalation.
