Houston, Texas-based United Imaging announced the clearance of its uMR Jupiter 5T MRI system, the first to offer an 8-channel whole-body multi-transmit system. 

The sensor uses laser light encased in fiber cables and a small glass container filled with gas to measure changes in the strength of a magnetic field. 

A general lack of awareness pertaining to ACR appropriateness criteria could be a driving factor behind the misguided requisitions, authors of a new analysis suggest. 

An accidental discovery could have future implications for the material makeup for MRI contrast media.

This could be especially helpful when timely clinical decisions relative to the use of a contrast agent need to be made.

With the earth’s warmest March on record in 175 years barely in the rearview mirror, a team of radiology experts says medical imaging must step up its sustainability efforts. 

The course’s release follows numerous reported MRI accidents that have occurred in recent years, many that resulted in severe injury and some that were even fatal.

New research could offer further insight into exactly what causes individuals on the spectrum to process information differently.
