Non-Invasive MR Elastography Could Provide Alternative to Liver Biopsy in Obese Patients
Three-dimensional MR elastography (MRE) scans have the potential to simultaneously assess liver fibrosis and inflammation. However, existing 3D MRE methods present several challenges, such as multiple sequences, each requiring the patient to hold their breath, which can reduce the precision of the liver’s geometric alignment and hinder clinical acceptance. This issue is exacerbated in obese patients, as their high body mass index (BMI) can interfere with the penetration of mechanical waves. To address these challenges, researchers have investigated a new approach that involves a single breath-hold, which obese patients can more easily tolerate and reproduce. More...17 Mar 2023
New Tool Images Uterine Contractions in Real Time to Identify High-Risk Pregnancies
Researchers have developed new imaging technology that can create 3D maps of uterine contractions in real-time, displaying both the magnitude and distribution of the contractions across the entire surface of the uterus during labor. Identifying the specific type of uterine contractions that cause premature birth or labor arrest can aid researchers in developing methods to slow or prevent the onset of these contractions.

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...06 Mar 2023
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...27 Feb 2023
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...10 Feb 2023
