Iterative reconstruction techniques for CT were once limited to dose reduction. But a new generation of iterative reconstruction algorithms is focused on image quality, processing data more rapidly and delivering more-natural looking images as well. The additional imaging “horsepower” wielded by the new applications can be used to further reduce doses in coronary CT angiography and throughout the body — or to ameliorate the effects of other common scanning complications…
Researchers at New York University (NYU) have developed a way to use MRI to examine sodium ions in cartilage and view the development of osteoarthritis in knee joints. The research, which appears in the Journal of Magnetic Resonance, may provide a noninvasive method to diagnose osteoarthritis in its very early stages and help to calculate other, less direct measures of cartilage assessments…
When balancing the risks of radiation dose exposure from CT angiography with the risks associated with a cardiac catheterization procedure, pediatric radiologists in Taiwan are selecting the CT exam for neonates with complex congenital heart disease. The procedure is noninvasive and fast and requires minimal or no sedation…
