Dear MRI Insider,
The annual scientific meeting of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists, which drew to a close in Melbourne last weekend, is a widely respected conference.
A study that particularly captured our attention came from a team that shared its knowledge of orbital conditions. You can read more about the study in today’s top story.
Patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a genetic condition in which the risk for developing certain types of cancer is exceptionally elevated, require regular surveillance for early cancer detection. Whole-body MRI is particularly useful in these cases, according to German authors.
Fat accumulation in the liver may be a key driver of insulin resistance and subsequent development of diabetes, another MRI study has found. Don’t miss our coverage of this research.
Meanwhile, French researchers say a diffusion-weighted imaging MRI technique that corrects for fat in the liver appears to perform comparably to MR enterography in detecting fibrosis in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
Finally, a team from Freiburg, Germany, has published the results of a new study about the sensitivity of PI-RADS v2.1 for clinically significant prostate cancer detection. This analysis merits a close look.
