HONOLULU - Synthetically generated "postcontrast" screening breast MR images show promise as an alternative to contrast MRI exams in women with contrast-related contraindications, according to research presented May 12 at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) meeting. The findings could make MR imaging for breast cancer screening more available, wrote a team led by Soonhoi Ha, PhD, of Seoul National University Hospital in South Korea.

Clinicians can bill, at least to an extent, to account for complexity. When a patient walks into clinic for an annual physical, an acute upper respiratory tract infection, or an endless litany of chronic complaints including uncontrolled hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia, and an acute complaint, their documentation and the codes they use can differ between a brief med check and some more demanding undertaking.

New bismuth-based organic-inorganic hybrid materials show exceptional sensitivity and long-term stability as X-ray detectors, significantly more sensitive than commercial X-ray detectors. In addition, these materials can be produced without solvents by ball milling, a mechanochemical synthesis process that is environmentally friendly and scalable. More sensitive detectors would allow for a reduction in the radiation exposure during X-ray examinations.
