How Late Can You Give Routine Newborn Care?
Discussion
Routine newborn screening and treatment is focused on assisting the infant’s transition to extrauterine life, screening for health problems that may or may not be easily identifiable, and preventing acute or chronic health problems. Healthy infants begin with healthy pregnancies including risk factor assessment and screening of mothers. Such routine maternal screening and treatment does or may include glucose tolerance tests, ultrasound examinations, screenings for maternal blood type (with appropriate administration of Rho(D) immunoglobulin if appropriate), Hepatitis B, Neisseria gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Cyt...

Road to RSNA 2023: MRI Preview
The RSNA meeting always showcases the particular benefits MRI brings to the healthcare enterprise, and this year will be no exception. One of the modality's exciting growing edges is cardiac imaging, and attendees can expect to hear a broad range of research on the topic, from how real-time MRI can be combined with deep learning to assess cardiac volumetry and how it can help clinicians "map" the effects of stroke, to using 7-tesla MRI to evaluate ventricular structure and function in patients with high blood pressure and identifying myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination.
Along with cardiac imaging, other MRI themes at t...
