VIDEO: Neural axis abnormalities may not necessitate neurosurgical intervention
In this video, Kevin M. Neal, MD, discussed the relationship between rates of neural axis abnormalities in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and the potential need for neurosurgical intervention.
CT-detected knee cartilage mineralization predicts MRI cartilage worsening in same area
CT detection of intra-articular mineralization in knee cartilage, resulting from calcium crystal deposition, may predict MRI detection of worsening cartilage in the same area, according to data published in Arthritis & Rheumatology.
Portable MRI shows promise in detecting infarcts for those with acute ischemic stroke
Portable bedside MRI showed promise in detecting infarcts revealed on high-field MRI in those with acute ischemic stroke, with better performance on larger sized infarcts, according to a poster from the International Stroke Conference.
Real-time MRI may improve evaluation of dynamic dysfunction of the wrist
Results published in The British Journal of Radiology showed use of a high-performance 0.55-Tesla MRI system may be feasible for imaging tissues of a moving wrist in real-time and may improve evaluation of dynamic dysfunction.
Yearly MRI offers chronic rhinosinusitis monitoring in pediatric cystic fibrosis
Yearly paranasal sinus MRI imaging allowed physicians to track chronic rhinosinusitis development in children with cystic fibrosis, according to results published in Annals of the American Thoracic Society.
MRI in preterm infants detects indicators of pulmonary vascular disease
A cardiopulmonary MRI conducted during unsedated sleep aided in early detection of pulmonary vascular disease in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, according to results published in European Respiratory Journal.
AI model predicts bone marrow edema, may reduce diagnostic delay in spondyloarthritis
A fully automated, machine learning model that predicts bone marrow edema in sacroiliac joint MRI could improve screening for spondyloarthritis and decrease diagnostic delay, according to data published in Arthritis & Rheumatology.
FDA approves next-generation pacemakers with automatic MRI field detection sensors
Biotronik announced the FDA approved its portfolio of pacemakers and cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers featuring automatic MRI detection designed to streamline MRI workflow.
Uplizna reduced formation, frequency of subclinical spinal cord lesions in NMOSD
Horizon Therapeutics announced positive results of MRI data from the phase 3 clinical trial of Uplizna, which showed reduction in formation of subclinical transverse myelitis lesions in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
FDA approves expanded MRI labeling for Eterna spinal cord stimulation system
The FDA has approved expanded MRI labeling for Abbott’s Eterna spinal cord stimulation system, allowing those with chronic pain to undergo MRI within specific conditions and have a wider selection of lead options for full-body scans.
