Magnetic Resonance Imaging

HeartVista announced that it received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its AI-assisted MRI acquisition software for cardiac exams.

A machine learning network, a form of artificial intelligence, was able to consistently measure left ventricular ejection fraction as well as LV mass in cardiac MRI scans faster, with comparable reliability to experienced clinicians and a significantly shorter training period.

Using diffusion tensor imaging segmentation, an advanced MRI brain scan analysis, researchers were able to assess microstructural brain damage to predict dementia in patients with cerebral small vessel disease and lacunar strokes.

According to a recently published study, high accuracy of the preoperatively planned osteotomy angle for anteromedialization tibial tubercle osteotomy may be achieved without the use of calibrated guides.

PARIS — In patients with transient STEMI, defined as those who present with STEMI but have their ST-segment elevation and symptoms completely resolve before revascularization, immediate revascularization led to similar outcomes as delayed revascularization, according to data from the TRANSIENT trial.

Cardiac MRI can be a technology that can help cardiologists to characterize myocardial tissue, particularly in patients who had a reperfused MI. A recent scientific expert panel was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology that provides recommendations on how best to utilize this technology when selecting endpoints for future clinical and experimental trials.

The rates at which physicians ordered advanced imaging during evaluation and management visits significantly increased shortly after a colleague was reported for injury or malpractice, but not in the long term, according to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
