MRI Techniques Can Predict Future Sudden Cardiac Death
A new study has found that adults with abnormal heart metabolism are up to three times more likely to experience life-threatening arrhythmias (an irregular heart rhythm), and MRI techniques could be used to detect the condition and predict future sudden cardiac death. More...19 Jul 2022

Siemens Launches Its Smallest, Most Lightweight MR Scanner
A new High-V magnetic resonance (MR) scanner that combines a 0.55 Tesla (0.55T) field strength with deep learning technologies and advanced image processing broadens the range of MR clinical applications and provides customers with the inherent clinical benefits of a mid-field MR scanner.

MRI Lung-Imaging Technique Shows Cause of Long-COVID Symptoms
For the first time, using functional MRI with inhaled xenon gas, researchers have shown that the debilitating symptoms of long-COVID are related to microscopic abnormalities which affect how oxygen is exchanged from the lungs to the red blood cells. More...30 Jun 2022

MRI and CT Predicts Flap Failure After Head and Neck Reconstructive Cancer Surgery
When a patient with head and neck cancer has surgery to remove it, they often need reconstructive surgery in the form of a “free flap”, which is skin and tissue taken from a different part of the body and connected to the blood vessels of the wound in need of repair. Now, a study has found that early postoperative CT scans and MRIs can help predict whether a flap will fail, which could allow surgeons to intervene earlier. More...24 Jun 2022
