Much of the equipment used in MRI comes in sizes suited to adult bodies. A new way to create custom, 3D-printed MRI sensors could help give clearer views of small organs in infants and children.
From tissue heating to image artifacts – implants were once considered an absolute contraindication to MRI. Modern implant design and evolving safety standards have changed that picture considerably – yet misconceptions persist, even among imaging professionals. At the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, a dedicated session set out to address those misconceptions head-on.
A diffusion MRI metric can detect changes in white matter tracts not visible on conventional MRI – this could help identify early abnormalities in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
Using a two-step AI approach, researchers have developed a computationally efficient new method to detect and classify brain tumors from MRI scans more accurately.
As the aorta gains recognition as a functioning organ rather than a simple blood conduit, the lack of standardised imaging protocols is becoming an increasingly pressing concern. At ECR 2026 in Vienna, Professor Nicola Galea from Sapienza University of Rome made a compelling case for unified imaging approaches, warning that inconsistency in measurement techniques can lead to flawed clinical…
Imaging pregnant women with acute abdominal pain remains a significant clinical challenge – not only because of concerns about the impact on the unborn child, but also due to the anatomical changes that can obscure diagnosis. At the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, radiologists Vikas Shah and Charis Bourgioti examined the protocols for safe imaging in pregnancy and the management…
Advanced multiparametric MRI performed before kidney tumor surgery could help identify patients at higher risk for kidney function decline and chronic kidney disease after nephrectomy.
A new study reveals how a simple angiogram scoring system could help identify patients whose heart muscle is still alive - even when a major artery has been completely blocked for months.
A new AI-based method can reduce the time required for certain MRI brain scans by up to 90% while maintaining a high level of accuracy, paving the way for more efficient and accessible neuroimaging.
A team of researchers has developed an AI system capable of interpreting some of the most complex heart scans in medicine, cardiac MRI, without the need for manually labeled training data.
A 3D brain marker may help identify which patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) benefit from shunt surgery – improving outcomes and sparing others from ineffective treatment.
MEDTRON AG, one of the leading European manufacturers of contrast media injectors and medical technology “Made in Germany,” is expanding its product portfolio with a groundbreaking innovation: With Syriflow® MR, the company introduces a new syringe pump specifically designed for use in MR imaging.
Researchers have developed a new MRI-based method that enables objective quantification of the growth of the most aggressive brain tumours, particularly glioblastoma.
Imaging left ventricular function is challenging for patients who cannot hold their breath for long. A new AI-enhanced MRI technique captures the entire cardiac cycle in a single shot.
At this year’s European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, Bayer presented new data on a contrast agent that could transform MRI imaging: gadoquatrane, which requires up to 60% less gadolinium than previous standard macrocyclic preparations whilst maintaining the same diagnostic accuracy. Prof. Hubertus Pietsch, Head of MRI & CT Contrast Agent Research at Bayer and one of the key…
Leveraging the power of chaos theory, experts have developed a new way to encrypt medical images such as X-ray, CT and MRI scans, keeping them secure even if hospital networks are breached.
Artificial intelligence has a critical role to play in supporting clinicians beyond the initial breast cancer diagnosis. At the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) annual scientific meeting in Aberdeen, Scotland, Professor Gerald Lip outlined how AI can enhance the performance of modalities such as ultrasound and MRI in supporting clinicians as they plan and deliver treatment for patients.
“A small handle with a big impact.” Radiographers at Rheinland Klinikum Neuss in Germany report measurable physical relief in daily patient transfers thanks to the ceiling-mounted patient transfer aid febromed get up®.
Italian imaging company Esaote will be at the European Congress of Radiology 2026 (Booth 505, Expo Hall X5) and present latest additions to their ultrasound, MRI and Enterprise Imaging portfolio.
