Remote Programming of Cardiac Implantable Devices Safe for MRI Scan, Shows Study
A new study reveals safe and effective reprogramming of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers is possible even from a remote location which could reduce the need to reschedule MRI scans and other procedures that require device programming in case there is no device representative or other qualified personnel present on-site to perform the task.

AI Automatically Segments Kidneys and Measures Total Kidney Volumes Using Only 3D Ultrasound Images
The first study applying deep learning to 3D ultrasound in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) has shown promising performance for auto-segmentation of kidneys using 3D US to measure total kidney volume (TKV) close to human tracing and MRI measurement. More...02 May 2022

MRI Technique Detects Differences in Brain Structure of Premature Babies Who Develop Abnormalities
A new study has revealed that premature babies who develop brain abnormalities like autism and cerebral palsy as teenagers have subtle differences in their brain structure that can be detected on quantitative MRI (qMRI). More...27 Apr 2022

Novel Brain MRI Technique Helps Identify Multiple Sclerosis Lesions
A team of physician and scientists in the Department of Neurology at Cedars-Sinai (Los Angeles, CA, USA) has identified biological sign called “central vein sign” that could help physicians determine whether white spots on a patient’s MRI are caused by MS or by something else, ultimately reducing misdiagnosis.
