MEDICAL IMAGING NEWS & ANALYSIS

MRI can be a powerful tool for diagnosing problems in newborns, but transferring infants to the radiology department for scanning creates a number of issues. Aspect Imaging has developed Embrace, a 1-telsa MRI scanner that can be installed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to enable MRI to be used at the bedside.   Aspect Imaging demonstrated the Embrace scanner at the 2023 European Congress of Radiology (ECR) meeting.  

What's being done to manage the ongoing shortage of healthcare personnel?  The staffing crisis in particular is hitting one of radiology's most complex modalities, MRI, as imaging facilities find it harder to hire and retain radiographers.
