CASE PRESENTATION A 70-year-old female recently diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer presented with acute new onset of lower back pain. The patient was taking chemotherapy, participating in a drug therapy trial, and had received radiation therapy. There was no history of acute trauma to the pelvic or acetabular region. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral fragility fractures, with ...
According to our Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Advisory Board, imaging review, a key aspect of mild® patient candidate identification, is often not included in initial schooling. To help APPs learn the basics of image review, become more familiar with identifying anatomical landmarks, and understand how to confirm if a patient is a candidate for the mild® Procedure, we asked James ...
BACKGROUND Non-invasive techniques like urinary biomarkers and multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI) show great promise for the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa), leading to a reduction of over-diagnosis and over-treatment. Apart from yet to be established diagnostic accuracy is the systematic use of mpMRI challenging due to the high cost of setting up, ...
Purpose: The absence of ionizing radiation in MRI applications does not guarantee absolute safety. Implementing of safety guidelines can ensure high-quality practice in the clinical MRI with the minimum risk. For this purpose, this cross-section quantitative study conducted in Jordan Kingdom aimed to assess current MRI safety guidelines in comparison with those of 2020 Manual on MR Safety of the ...
Up to 5,000 American infants and children are diagnosed with pediatric cardiomyopathy each year. Learn more about this rare but potentially serious condition. Cardiomyopathy, which is a general term for diseases of the heart muscle, is relatively rare in children, affecting only about 12 out of every 1 million Americans under the age of 18. Among the approximately 1,000 to 5,000 new cases ...
This study aims at developing new and improved MRI imaging protocols in order to obtain better quality images and improved/reduced scan time. We will also assess whether multi-parametric MRI imaging of multiple organs gives the same results when it is repeated on the same person after a period of time, and when it is performed on the same person in different MRI scanners. We hope that, by running ...
This is an observational cohort study looking at women, 30 years of age or older with a concern or at risk of suspected breast disease or breast cancer. The proposed study aims to examine the diagnostic performance of non-contrast MRI in breast disease by applying quantitative multiparametric MRI ...
Abstract Background Nucleus replacement devices are designed to replace the native pain-generating lumbar nucleus while preserving the annulus fibrosus, endplates, and natural motion. The DASCOR Disc Arthroplasty Device seemed to perform well clinically but was discontinued in 2009. While there are no commercially available NRDs today, the potential advantages of using such devices have ...
Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff Introduction This guidance document provides Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s or the Agency’s) recommendations on testing to assess the safety and compatibility of medical devices in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment and the recommended format for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Safety Information in ...
Advancement in assistive technology has led to the commercial availability of multi-dexterous robotic prostheses for the upper extremity. The relatively low performance of the currently used techniques to detect the intention of the user to control such advanced robotic prostheses, however, limits their use. This article explores the use of force myography (FMG) as a potential alternative to ...
Nitinol (Nitinol) alloys have many material and device characteristics, for example, kinking resistance, stress constancy, dynamic interference, deflection stiffness, magnetic resonance imaging (MR1) compatibility, radiopacity and biocompatibility. The most famous characteristics of Nitinol are its superelasticity and thermal shape memory. Although the term "shape memory" describes the phenomenon ...
MRI Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of a very large magnet, radio waves, and a computer to produce detailed, cross-sectional, and three-dimensional images of organs and structures within the body. An MRI scan is a valuable diagnostic tool that can show injuries or other anomalies that cannot be seen in a CT scan or X-ray. For instance, soft ...
Hospitals throughout the world, working towards improving the lives and outcomes for cancer sufferers, are using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanners to diagnose and stage cancer in patients. Whilst the magnetic fields and radio waves used by MRI scanners pose no risk to humans, scanners’ cooling system potentially do, and careful installation and maintenance is essential to ensure ...

A team of chemists at MIT has formulated a method to produce polymers that can disintegrate more readily in the body as well as in the environment. A new type of polymer designed by MIT chemists incorporates a special monomer (yellow) that helps the polymers to break down more easily under certain conditions. (Image credit: Demin Liu) A chemical reaction known as ring-opening metathesis ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a frequently used diagnostic imaging modality that may be an alternative to other types of radiologic imaging (e.g., computerized tomography, nuclear medicine imaging). It can detect soft tissue characteristics (e.g., inflammation), and because magnetic resonance (MR) uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce images, it does not expose patients to ...
Stuart Campbell, Clinical Sales Development Manager of the Neurological Products Division at Renishaw, discusses key trends on the use of robotics in neurosurgery. The curious case of Phineas Gage is one of the earliest and best known cases of serious brain injury. On September 13th, 1848, Gage was working as a railway foreman in Vermont when an explosion caused a three foot long iron rod to be ...
The effects of antidepressants on wildlife are currently raising some concern due to an increased number of publications indicating biological effects at environmentally relevant concentrations (<100ng/L). These results have been met with some scepticism due to the higher concentrations required to detect effects in some species and the perceived slowness to therapeutic effects recorded in ...
Helium is well known as Helium that makes balloons and airships float and in its liquid form, Helium is used in a variety of applications including cooling for magnets in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners, cooling infrared detectors, and as a superconductor coolant in the large hadron collider at CERN. Helium is distilled from natural gas deposits that have collected in the presence of ...
