Researchers from the University of Arizona (UA) are working to develop a 15-minute MRI scan for patients with Parkinson’s disease, children and other patient populations who may have issues remaining still for the normal 40-60 minutes.

When researchers compared brain MRI scans of patients who had previously received gadobutrol, a common gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA), with patients not exposed to gadobutrol, they did not observe any visual signal intensity changes. The team noted, however, that patients who received gadobutrol had shorter T1 relaxation times of the globus pallidus.

Lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose CT effectively reduces mortality among high-risk current and former smokers, yet patients face numerous challenges that can keep them from engaging with LCS.

Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) may not be the best noninvasive test of choice for patients who exhibit stable chest pain, according to a commentary published in JAMA Cardiology.

Healthcare providers should consider treating men and women with glioblastoma (GBM) in different ways, according to a study published in Science Translational Medicine.

Fluoroscopy-guided lumbar spinal injections expose patients to less radiation than CT-guided injections, according to a new study published in Radiology. The fluoroscopy-guided injections, however, exposed interventionalists to more radiation. Patient outcomes were not impacted either way.

Patients are at a significantly higher risk of suicide in the first year after being diagnosed with cancer, according to a new study published in Cancer. What can healthcare providers do to help mitigate this risk?
