Pacing Lead for Full-Body MRI Scans Approved for Use in Patients with a Slow Heartbeat
A new magnetic resonance imaging pacing lead is approved in the United States for MRI scans positioned on any region of the body when used with a Medtronic dual-chamber MR-conditional pacemaker for patients with a slow heartbeat. More...21 Oct 2014
Healthcare Costs Could Be Cut by More Appropriate Use of Cardiac Stress Imaging
In new research, investigators concluded that overuse of cardiac stress testing using advanced imaging technology has led to increasing healthcare costs in the United States and unnecessary radiation exposure to patients. More...19 Oct 2014
fMRI and Circuitry Mapping Shows Dyslexic Readers Have Disrupted Brain Network
Dyslexia, the most typically diagnosed learning disability in the United States, is a neurologic reading disability that occurs when the regions of the brain that process written language do not function normally. The use of noninvasive functional neuroimaging approaches has helped characterize how brain activity is disrupted in dyslexic individuals. More...19 Oct 2014
Five Proton Therapy Treatment Rooms Plus System Upgrade Deployed at Scripps Proton Therapy Center
An upgrade of a proton system will improve workflow at a US proton therapy center, enabling the use of the fixed-beam treatment rooms as well as more diverse patient-positioning devices. Moreover the new technology is designed to enhance the quality of images generated by the system’s integrated imager. More...16 Oct 2014
