The novel approach can also reduce the number of MR scans performed over a lifetime by 60%, experts reported in European Urology.

The high-field scanner takes advantage of an innovative dry technology that removes the need for liquid helium and liquid nitrogen required by most MRI systems.

The company hopes the model can make scans "more playful and less scary" for pediatric patients.

The team will be recruiting patients who are still experiencing extreme fatigue and difficulty concentrating after recovering from the virus.

The initiative led to a 30% increase in the number of patients who required fewer visits before receiving a diagnosis, University of Michigan Health System researchers reported.

“Our hope is to change the course of neurodegeneration, with the long-term goal of curing diseases in their earliest stages, years before symptoms are even seen,” a doctor involved in the study said.

Radiologists should complete specific training to understand these measurements before using membranous urethra length as a predictor of postoperative continence, University of Michigan researchers suggested.

Clinicians should focus on ensuring exams are more compatible with autism patients rather than making such individuals more MR-compatible.
