World's First Whole-Body Ultra-High Field 5.0T MRI Visualizes Previously Unseen Anatomical Structures

United Imaging Healthcare (UIH, Warsaw, Poland) has unveiled the uMR Jupiter 5.0T, the world's first whole-body ultra-high field 5.0T MRI, for the first time internationally. More...

AR System Enables Free-Hand, Real-Time Needle Guidance for Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

Transperineal (TP) biopsy is one of the conventional methods used for diagnosing and treating prostate cancer. TP biopsy typically involves a pre-operation MRI scan and a transrectal ultrasound, with the images combined and displayed on a monitor for the urologist to visualize. However, 2D visualization of a 3D region can make the needle's guidance and visualization a challenging task. To address this issue, researchers have proposed an approach based on an augmented reality (AR) system called HoloLens. More...

Enhanced Ultrasound Superior to MRI for Diagnosing Certain Liver and Kidney Tumors

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a non-invasive imaging tool that is routinely used across the world to identify and characterize cancers, diagnose heart and vascular disease, monitor chronic gastro-intestinal diseases and therapy. Now, two new studies have revealed that CEUS is more accurate and reliable than MRI for examining certain liver and kidney nodules. More...

Ultrafast MRI Predicts DCIS Upgrade to Invasive Cancer at Breast Surgery

Biopsy-proven ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) lesions are often upgraded to invasive cancer at surgery. As a result, accurate prediction of the likelihood of invasion can be helpful for surgical planning, including the need to perform sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). Now, a new study has found that ultrafast (UF) MRI provides beneficial information that can be used in surgical planning, including determining the need for SLNB. More...

World-First Benchmark for Measuring Brain Atrophy Created Using `Fake` MRIs Developed via AI

Assessing the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s using brain MRI poses a challenge as changes in the thickness of the brain's cortex are extremely small, usually in the sub-millimeter range. Now, scientists have used AI to develop a world-first benchmark for measuring brain atrophy – or thinning - in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. More...

New MRI Method Automatically Detects Placental Health during Pregnancy

A new method can process MRI scans to reveal the distinct compartments of the placenta, measure oxygen levels in each region and identify malformations in blood vessels (i.e., placental lesions), thus improving the detection and prevention of pregnancy complications. More...
