Toshiba America Medical Systems has introduced its breast SPEEDER coil, a seven-channel coil designed to improve diagnosis and interventional breast procedures on its Vantage MRI system line.

The coil has a design that allows clinicians to perform lateral and medial MRI-guided interventions through open lateral sides, Toshiba said. Interventional workstations also can be employed to enhance accuracy when performing interventional breast procedures, according to the Tustin, CA-based firm.

Images in an 18-year-old man with recurrent dislocations of the right shoulder. (A, B) Unenhanced coronal, (C) axial, and (D, E) sagittal deep learning super-resolution threefold parallel imaging -- accelerated turbo spin-echo MRI scans were obtained at 3-tesla field strength. (A) Coronal T2-weighted fat-suppressed (FS) and (B) coronal proton density (PD)-weighted MRI scans show a nondisplaced superior labral tear (arrows). (C) Axial proton density-weighted fat-suppressed, (D) sagittal T2-weighted fat-suppressed, and (E) sagittal T1-weighted MRI scans show continuation into a nondisplaced anteroinferior labral tear (arrows). All seven readers correctly diagnosed the arthroscopy-validated findings. (F) An arthroscopic photograph shows the anteroinferior labral tear (arrow). Image and caption courtesy of the RSNA.

Ultrafast MRI exam bests standard MRI for classifying breast cancers

Ultrafast and standard MRI in a 30-year-old woman with triple-negative invasive ductal carcinoma. (A) Ultrafast MRI taken 16.8 seconds after contrast agent injection. (B) Standard MRI taken 58.8 seconds after contrast agent injection. Both images show an oval-shaped, irregular marginated, rim-enhancing mass in the left outer breast. For 3D tumor segmentation, the entire enhanced tumor margins were drawn from top to bottom of each tumor in axial views of U2 phase postcontrast ultrafast MRI and the initial phase postcontrast standard MRI. Among the 14 ultrafast images, U1 is the first phase in which the signal intensity of the hotspot region of interest of the tumor is 10% higher than the average signal intensity of unenhanced images. U2 is the immediate next phase of U1 and the well-established tumor enhancement time.
