First Wire-Free Solution Aids in Breast Localization During Biopsy Under MRI or Stereotactic Guidance

Today, roughly 40% of breast biopsies are performed under stereotactic or MRI guidance, creating the need for an additional office visit for reflector placement prior to surgery. Now, the first wire-free breast localization solution that can be deployed at the time of stereotactic or MRI-guided biopsy has received FDA clearance. More...

Algorithm Examines Structural MRI Scans of Brain to Identify Patients in Early Stages of Mental Illness

A new study has shown that by examining structural MRI scans of the brain, it’s possible to identify patients most susceptible to poor outcomes. By identifying these patients in the early stages of their illness, clinicians will be able to offer more targeted and effective treatments. More...

AI Tool Performs Automatic Segmentation and Lesion Detection in Prostate MRI Scans

A new tool for prostate MRI analysis performs segmentation of the prostate, its sub-sections, and lesions. It also analyzes the lesions’ intensity, restriction, size, and shape, and provides a baseline for PI-RADS score. RSIP Vision’s (Jerusalem, Israel) new PI-RADS assistant provides objective analysis of the prostate MRI scan, with measurable statistics which can be used to improve scoring accuracy. More...

MRI/PET Scans Link Brainstem Atrophy to Dementia Symptoms

Frontotemporal dementia, FTD, comes with extrapyramidal symptoms, such as those in Parkinson’s disease, and this makes the diagnosis of FTD challenging. However, a new study now shows that accurate imaging and analysis of the brain may make it possible to distinguish between FTD and other diseases that cause extrapyramidal symptoms. More...

Algorithm Uses Raw MRI Images to Predict If and When Someone Will Have Cardiac Arrest

An algorithm built to assess scar patterns in patient heart tissue can predict potentially life-threatening arrhythmias more accurately than doctors can. The new artificial intelligence-based approach can predict if and when a patient could die of cardiac arrest. More...
