Calyx Medical Imaging shares clinical trial contributions
Calyx Medical Imaging said it participated in the pivotal phase II clinical trial of Iovance Biotherapeutic's Amtagvi (lifileucel), a cell therapy for adults with unresectable or metastatic melanoma who have relapsed on other front-line therapy.
Calyx contributed to the design and implementation of the imaging components of the trial. As a result, 60 investigative sites were able to capture patient CT, MRI, PET, and skin photography images in compliance with the image review protocol, according to the firm.

ISMRM: Could drinking more water help rads combat sleep deprivation's impact?
Could the simple strategy of drinking enough water help radiologists combat the effects of sleep deprivation caused by night shift work? Perhaps, according to research presented May 9 at the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) meeting.
A team led by presenter Yue Qin, MD, of Xi'an Daxing Hospital in China, found on functional MR imaging that insufficient water intake during night shift work negatively affected particular regions of radiologists' brains.
"The right inferior occipital gyrus [amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF)] and right superior temporal gyrus [fraction ALFF (fALFF)] ...

ISMRM: Screening for implants key in trauma neuroimaging
SINGAPORE – MRI plays a pivotal role in trauma cases by detecting lesions in the acute, subacute, and chronic phases of brain injuries, yet screening patients for metal implants remains a primary safety concern, according to a leading expert.In a presentation May 6 at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine meeting, Sumeet Kumar, MD, a senior consultant neuroradiologist at Singapore’s National Neuroscience Institute, discussed indications for MRI in head trauma cases, noting that MRI can detect small contusions often missed on first-line CT scans.“In the acute phase, MRI is often done as a follow...

ISMRM: Radiomics model predicts need for knee replacement surgery
SINGAPORE – A machine-learning model using radiomics features from MRIs could help clinicians predict whether patients with knee osteoarthritis may need total knee replacement (TKR) surgery.
In a study discussed May 5 at the annual meeting of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), a model distinguished knee osteoarthritis patients in potential need of TKR with an accuracy of up to 87.2%.
“These advancements have the potential to help the precision of decision-making in TKR surgery,” noted presenter Eros Montin, PhD, of New York University in New York City.
Knee osteoarthritis affects...

ISMRM: Higher BMI measures translate to poorer brain health
SINGAPORE – A higher body mass index (BMI) translates to poorer brain health in the form of premature aging, according to research presented May 7 at the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) meeting.
Presenter Han Lv, PhD, of Beijing Friendship Hospital in China and colleagues found high BMI to be causally associated with smaller brain volume and abnormal microstructural integrity in projection fibers, especially in adults under the age of 45.
The causal relationship between BMI -- a modifiable factor associated with poor cardiovascular health -- and brain health is unclear, Lv's group noted....
