The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) has published a new white paper, Radiologic Technologist Best Practices for MR Safety, designed to help MR technologists provide the safest patient care possible.

Researchers have simulated how more than 20 different breast tissue ratios respond to heat emitted from MRIs at higher field strengths than those currently in hospitals, according to findings in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine.

Abbreviated MRI—a new breast imaging modality at University of Kansas Health System—makes screening quicker and less painful, according to a report by local NBC affiliate KSHB-TV.

Jonathan Ashmore is an MRI physicist with National Health Service, the United Kingdom’s public healthcare system. He doesn’t interact with patients too often, but with an office next door to radiology department, he heard the distress children experienced before, during and after an MRI exam.

Radiologists can feel confident turning to breast MRI in instances when digital mammography (DM) and digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) results are inconclusive, according to new research published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Biannual MRI is more effective than annual mammography in detecting early breast cancer in young women who have a high genetic risk of the disease, according to new research published in Clinical Cancer Research.
