Ultrasound-guided cryoablation offers a range of advantages over conventional approaches to treating breast cancer. In October 2023, Massachusetts General Hospital successfully introduced the technique into its clinical practice.
Barnaly Rashid, PhD, Steven E. Arnold, MD, and colleagues report that, across the adult lifespan, worse cardiometabolic health associates with dysregulated functional connectivity throughout the brain, including in higher-order brain networks vital to cognitive function.
Part of the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) is its seeming ability to produce objective, unbiased results. However, AI is not immune from the potential for bias. This Q&A explores how and where bias can enter the picture in science and healthcare and what can be done about it.
Massachusetts General Hospital researchers believe opioid-associated amnestic syndrome deserves study as a reversible metabolic injury.
MRV experts at Massachusetts General Hospital recently reviewed commonly used body and extremity MRV techniques, clinical applications, and cases where off-label ferumoxytol can replace gadolinium.
An emerging technique, radiofrequency ablation of the basivertebral nerve, offers new hope to patients who experience a specific type of chronic low back pain.
Recent research by Miriam Bredella, MD, MBA, and colleagues showed that sleeve gastrectomy in adolescents and young adults impaired bone health.
Commenting on a German study, Manisha Bahl, MD, MPH, explains how AI can be applied to breast MRI scans acquired with low doses of gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) and predict the appearance of full-dose contrast-enhanced subtraction images, a potential way to reduce the dose and therefore toxicity of GBCAs.
James A. Brink, MD, and a colleague urge radiologists to prepare for “seismic” changes in health care by adding value beyond image interpretation, with special attention to how artificial intelligence will affect practice and the need to offer precision imaging, image-guided intervention, and radiotheranostics.
With funding from a 2023 MGH Research Scholar award, Brian Edlow, MD, will lead a team in optimizing and implementing novel imaging technologies for this critical application.
