MRI Scans Know When You're Stressed

Stress is a natural part of life, so to speak. However, what do we do when stress may actually prove fatal?

Researchers are finding exactly just that at the University of Pittsburgh. Studies are looking into whether or not blood pressure levels are exaggerated in certain individuals due to psychological stress. If so, then what are preventive measures to fight against heart disease and heart attacks? Stress is often a silent, long-term threat.

The studies show that higher blood pressure from psychological stress may be another leading factor when it comes to potential to factors in heart disease. Stress may be on level when it comes to smoking, weight, and diabetes. 

At Sound Imaging, we are glad to see there is progress when it comes to understanding how health works, and that MRI studies can be a part of this growth. This is why we pride ourselves on creating the best and newest MRI devices. Create a relaxing experience for your patients or volunteers with MRI Visors or MRI Stereo.

What to Ask When You Get a MRI Scan

Sometimes as patients we assume that doctors, physicians, and radiologists are all knowing. However, it is important to be an advocate for your own care and safety. As many of you may know, gadolinium has been in the spotlight for its potential hazards. While some may recommend contrast for your MRI scan, as a patient, it is your choice whether or not to consent to contrast imaging. So the next time you are getting a MRI exam, ask your healthcare provider whether or not contrast is necessary and what are some alternatives.

In addition, you may want to ask your physician which gadolinium based contrast agents (or GBCAs) will be used if you do undergo a MRI scan with contrast. Listed are GBCAs that are FDA approved by their brand name: Ablavar, Dotarem, Eovist, Gadavist, Magnevist, MultiHance, Omniscan, OptiMARK, and ProHance. As a advocate for your own safety, take heed if you are not recommended a FDA approved GBCA. 

At Sound Imaging, MRI safety is our top priority. This is why we take our MRI services, like MRI repairs and MRI installations, seriously. As helpful and life-saving a MRI scan can be, nothing is without its risks. Another option to making your MRI facility the safest around is with SAMM System, the MRI CCTV camera system that allows for comprehensive viewing of the MRI room, or SAMM MD, with comes with sophisticated motion-detection software for increased safety.

How MRI Scans Help Pregnancy Related Breast Cancer

Pregnancy is a tenuous time for most families. Mothers are undergoing a body transformation, fathers are anxiously waiting, and siblings are grumbling about a new baby. There is enough stress when it comes to pregnancy. 

Unfortunately, pregnancy can sometimes lead to breast cancer. In these rare cases, where the cancer tends to be aggressive, it is crucial to act fast. 

In a recent study, the team at Johns Hopkins Hospital found in their study of 53 women, 52 women benefited from MRI scans to diagnose. This will lead to more research in this under-studied field of pregnancy related breast cancer. Researchers hope that they may be able to better diagnose signs earlier in the future. 

At Sound Imaging, we are proud to see how the imaging field aims to help everyone, especially families. This is why we created a variety of MRI services, from MRI repairs to MRI installation, and MRI accessories, like MRI Stereo and MRI Visors, to make the MRI experience better for all patients.

How to Not Dread Your Next MRI Scan

All too often in the medical field, we forget about the patient's experience. Usually, healthcare providers are more concerned with treating a symptom and moving onto the next thing. We miss the personal interaction. Because we forget about the the person behind the patient, often times patients dread coming to their next appointment.

One such blog written by Samira Rajabi, who survived a brain tumor, details her fear about getting her next MRI scan. How many others have this same horrible dread when they are getting a MRI scan? And while the MRI scan may not necessarily be the source of their distress, more often than not, it adds to the building anxiety.

While there is little we can do to change a diagnosis from an imaging standpoint, there is much we can to improve the patient's MRI experience. An MRI scan does not need to be another source of anxiety; it can be a source of reassurance if the right steps are taken. 

At Sound Imaging, this is one of the main reason we designed our line of MRI Accessories. This MRI equipment is meant to make the scanning process easier, as with SAMM System and SAMM MD, and allow your patient to feel at ease, as with MRI Stereo and MRI Visors. You can improve your patient's experience and help them through an already challenging phase.

MRI Scans Are Important After Chemotherapy

As some of you may know, the work is not always done after one undergoes chemotherapy after cancer diagnosis. However, when one hears about getting a scan for cancer, one usually assumes it is during or before cancer diagnosis. Researchers are now learning that MRI scans are just as important after chemotherapy.

In the study published in the RSNA Journal, researchers compared CT scans with MRI scans to detect colorectal liver metastases (shorten to CRLMs) after chemotherapy treatment. The results showed that overall, MRI scans were more accurate to detection as it gave less false positives, compared to CT scans. One wonders if MRI scans may become standardized after chemotherapy? For now, researchers are still looking for more methods to fine-tune the methods. 

At Sound Imaging, we are happy to see how MRIs can be applied to so many fields of healthcare. This is why we do our best to meet all MRI needs, whether it be MRI coils for your machine, MRI repairs for your equipment, or MRI accessories for your patients.

Are MRI Contrast Agents Safe During Gestation?

It seems like gadolinium can't get out of the spotlight when it comes to MRI news and research. A recent study in the the RNSA Radiology journal notes that traces of gadolinium can be passed from mother to child if the contrast agent is administered during a MRI scan. 

The study did not test on humans, but used Gravid rhesus macaques, who were tested in another study as well. The primate subjects were kept in well-cared for settings and were not mistreated in the process to animal law standards. During gestation, the primates underwent an MRI scan with contrast. 

The research found that 7 months after delivery, small trace amounts of gadolinium concentrate were found in the infant macaques. While there were very small amounts shown in multiple tissue samples, this study did show that the contrast agent persists after delivery. 

What does this mean for the imaging community? It is worth to note that gadolinium has come under scrutiny a number of times. But is this just over amplified hype or a subject worth better safety standards? 

At Sound Imaging, we take MRI safety seriously. While you don't need to worry about MRI contrast agents with us, we maintain a high standard for MRI conditional equipment, such as SAMM MD and MRI Stereo. You can improve your patient's MRI experience without risking safety.

MRI at Your Local Mall?

In the not so far future, you may be able to buy groceries, get your haircut, and undergo a MRI scan all at the same place: the mall. 

In fact, in many locations across the country, there are already outpatient MRI providers in local strip malls. Out-patient clinics, like Radnet or SmartChoice, are already getting their foot in door of these new locations.

The trend for the strip mall MRI stems from one crucial factor: cost. 

Regardless of how much you may like your healthcare provider, most of us would not hesitate to get a $200 MRI scan at an outpatient center versus $1000 MRI scan at a hospital. There are some pros and cons to both however. 

Typically, a hospital has a larger variety of scan features, and may offer newer, upgraded MRI equipment. But does this mean it's all worth it? It's up to the patient to decide. 

At Sound Imaging, we are always proud to see how the imaging field adapts to new environments. We try to do the same here at Sound Imaging. This is why we created our line of MRI accessories, which aim to comfort patients, while increasing MRI safety. This is an adapted article from this health news network. Thank you for visiting our blog!

What Does Dual Contrast Mean for MRI?

You may one day have to get two MRI contrast agents injected when you go for your MRI scan. 

Researchers at the Imaging Resource Core at the Case Western School of Medicine are developing the method of dual contrast when it comes to getting scanned. The researchers aim for this dual contrast is to better specify molecules, proteins, and tissue when undergoing a scan. The more you can distinct and specify, the more likely you can accurately diagnose. 

For this study, the two agents used were gadolinium (which we have mentioned before) and manganese. These two agents differ when it comes to relaxivity rate, or the ability to easily emit signals and fluctuation of the contrast agent. This allows the two contrast agents to appear distinct when scanning. 

The researchers are still in preliminary stages and will need to further test on living cells in the future. 

At Sound Imaging, we are always proud to see how the imaging field aims to improve upon itself. We aim to do this as well at Sound Imaging. This is why we newly re-designed our MRI Stereo and work to create the most upgraded version of MRI Visors.

How MRI Scans Help Survivors of Drowning

As you can imagine, drowning is a traumatic experience, especially for children. What you may not know about is locked-in syndrome, which can happen to survivors of drowning. 

Locked-In Syndrome is as it sounds; it is a condition where one is conscious and aware, but unable to move their body. Usually, this condition paralyzes the entire body except for eye movement. 

Researchers at the UT Health San Antonio studied ten children who suffer from locked-in syndrome after drowning. Using MRI scans, the researchers analyzed the scans of these children to find a connection. What they found were anoxic brain injuries (ABI) that led to focal strokes. This means motor pathways in the brain were damaged, but areas with cognition and sense pathways were unharmed. 

While there is no cure for locked-in syndrome yet, this is promising for researchers. Knowing where the damage occurs can lead to treatment and possible prevention when drowning victims are resuscitated. 

At Sound Imaging, we are happy see how MRI research helps any and all. Here, we work to improve our MRI parts, MRI coils, and MRI services so you can provide the best diagnosis possible at your facility.

How MRIs are Helping Organ Donors

There is a lengthy process for organ donor approval, and in the case of liver donors, especially invasive. Biopsies, catheter tests, ERCP, and many more tests are often used to make sure liver donors are viable. 

Fortunately, researchers are testing whether or not MRI scans work as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for testing liver health in donors. Not only could this save time, this may also work to ensure the liver remains healthy. There would be no need for more potentially hazardous invasive procedures nor would patients undergo treatments that cause radiation. So far the review looks promising, make sure to read the full story.

At Sound Imaging, we are always proud to see how MRIs work to make healthcare more efficient. Here, we work towards efficiency when it comes to all MRI services and MRI devices. Our MRI Accessories work to streamline MRI safety and MRI comfort.

The First Neonatal MRI Device Gets FDA Approval

MRI machines can be tricky. While in many ways safer than other imaging modalities, it is also more hazardous in others. MRIs do not have any sort of radiation, but on the flip side, anything that is metal can turn into a dangerous projectile with the magnet. 

With this in mind, it is not easy to design a device that meets these ferromagnetic standards. However, the team at Aspect Imaging just got the Embrace Neonatal MRI System cleared by the FDA. Now those in neonatal intensive care units can get the diagnostic readings they need. While there is still more to be seen, this is in the trend of improving the power of MRI scanning.

At Sound Imaging, we understand how important MRI safety is while maintaining diagnostic quality. Our MRI devices are MRI-conditional, so you do not need to worry about interference. You can relax your patients with MRI Stereo or MRI Visors, or improve your facility safety with SAMM MD and SAMM System.

MRI Study Helps Professional Fighters

Most MRI news consists of professional athletes, football, hockey, boxing, among others, getting a scan. Why does this population get so many scans, and what are the causes?

In a recent study in Radiology journal, researchers took a look at about 200 professional fighter scans. While this is not the first study to analyze mild brain trauma in fighters, this study did something different. Most studies look at gray brain matter; this study analyzed both gray and white brain matter to paint a better picture. 

The results so far are helping researchers to understand how repeated mild brain trauma affects professional fighters; applications in the future may analyze other athletes. If researchers can understand how this trauma will progress in the future, steps can be taken now to prevent. 

At Sound Imaging, we are happy to see how imaging helps those across professions, ages, and health history. To keep your MRI machine healthy as well, explore our variety of services, from MRI coil repairs to MRI part repairs, to service contracts or mobile solutions.

Will MRI Contrast Agents Target Tumors?

MRI contrast agents, particularly gadolinium based agents, are getting a lot of attention lately. Some of this news has been good, some news poor, and some news ambivalent. The most recent news in the world of contrast agents is exciting, however. 

A team at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, led by Dr. Gang Han, is developing a protein-based contrast agent. Similar to the glucose contrast agent in earlier news, this contrast agent is another natural occurring product of the body. One special property of this team’s contrast agent is that it aims to be ‘tumor-targeting’. We will have to wait and see how exactly it targets tumors in the upcoming tests, but it aims to be like other targeting proteins, such as those that used in cancer treatment. 

Here at Sound Imaging, we are intrigued to see how all of these contrast agents will play a role in the world of imaging. While the world of MRI contrast agents becomes more complex, keep things simple with a wide array of MRI equipment. Any MRI parts, MRI coils, or MRI services, is quick and easy find with our team.

A Wearable MRI Scanner?

You may be seeing a wearable MRI scanner in the not too distant future, so to speak. While this BCI, or brain-computer interface, uses similar properties of an MRI, it also has roots with the Virtual Reality headset, Oculus Rift. 

The start-up behind this device is Openwater. The aim is to “to create a wearable to enable us to see the inner workings of the body and brain at high resolution.” In terms of healthcare, this would streamline imaging scans on a massive level, but there are some other ramifications to this device as well, as Futurism points out in their article. 

At Sound Imaging, we are always excited to see what innovators come up with next. We also aim to innovate MRI patient care with our line of MRI accessories. Explore our SAMM Systems, the MRI camera, for safety options; take a look at MRI Stereo and MRI Visors, for patient comfort solutions.

What Did You Learn at AHRA 2017?

Yesterday was the last day of AHRA 2017 Annual Conference in Anaheim, CA. It was a fast four days and there was tons of information, techniques, and stories we gathered at the event. 

However, what is always the underlying theme is the human side of imaging. Often healthcare is seen as having limited choices. It’s either receive this type of healthcare, pay more to get better care, or don’t pay and get nothing. As Jake Poore, keynote speaker with Disney experience noted in his speech, ‘it’s connecting the dots between human and business. 

At Sound Imaging, we know healthcare providers and patients always have a choice. This is why we aim to provide the best prices for the best MRI devices and services. MRI patient comfort is becoming more and more of a necessity rather than a perk; this is why our MRI Stereo and MRI Visors are competitively priced to offer you the best quality.

Thank you to all of you who visited our booth and we look forward to hearing from you soon! This is an adapted article, to learn more visit AHRA Convention Daily.

A Faster Way to do Pediatric MRI Scans?

A new study takes a look at how to quickly diagnose pediatric appendicitis. As with most things in life, the faster it can be done, the better. However, more often than not, the faster something is done, the less efficient or accurate it is. The research team tried to find the sweet spot between fast diagnosis while maintaining accuracy.

The team also wanted to see how performance would change without the use of sedation and contrast agents. Pediatric imaging is often more tricky to do without the use of sedation.  

The results so far show a fairly high rate of accuracy with this rapid MRI procedure. Out of ninety-eight MRI exams, the results show this method has 94% sensitivity, 95% specificity, and 91% positive predictive value. These results look promising especially when it comes to pediatric imaging. 

At Sound Imaging, we are glad to see how MRI examinations are continuously improved, not only with accuracy but patient comfort as well. Here, we do our best to improve the patient experience with our line of MRI Accessories. MRI Visors and MRI Stereo are excellent options for those long MRI exams, especially for the little ones.

A Safer MRI Contrast Agent?

A new study shows that there may be a new type of MRI contrast agent. The best part? It’s glucose, or sugar, based. This means it may be safer than other contrast agents in the market. 

As you may have read in our previous posts, there was a recent controversy over gadolinium based MRI contrast agents, which may have led to unhealthy side effects. This new contrast agent in some ways also allows for even better results than traditional MRI contrast agents, since sugar naturally penetrates the cell deeper. 

At Sound Imaging, we are glad to see how the MR world is always improving upon itself. We aim for this goal of self-improvement as well with our line of MRI accessories. All of our MRI accessories are designed with safety in mind, which is why SAMM System and Magnet Watch are excellent solutions for your MRI facility. SAMM System keeps an eye on your patients, while Magnet Watch looks up for your MRI machine.

Are MRI Scans Changing How We Diagnose Crohn's?

A new study in the Academic Radiology Journal has hopeful news for those who suffer from Crohn’s disease. 

As some of you may or may not know, Crohn’s disease is a chronic condition which causes inflammation and subsequent cramping in the GI tract. It usually occurs where the small intestine meets the large intestine. While not necessarily deadly, this disease can be debilitating for everyday life; there is no cure right now, though treatment does relieve symptoms. 

In this study, CT and MRI scans were measured for accuracy in diagnosing Crohn’s disease. The results so far show that CT and MRI are both highly accurate in diagnosing; MRI may be used more often because it is radiation free. This will allow for quicker diagnoses and subsequent quicker treatment. 

At Sound Imaging, we are always happy to see how imaging helps people find their diagnosis and subsequent treatment. We also know getting a scan can be an unpleasant experience, regardless of its accuracy. This is why MRI accessories are so crucial to making the patient experience better. MRI Visors, the portable MRI video goggle system, and MRI Stereo, the two-way communication and music system, are easy solutions to improve patient care.

MRI Machine Safety 101

Many of you have seen a number of objects turn into projectiles in MRI facilities. The usual culprit is am oxygen tank, wheelchair, gurney, or another medical device. However, an MRI facility in Turkey had an unusual MRI projectile recently. 

A retired police officer brought his personal gun into the MRI room. Naturally, this turned into a particularly deadly projectile. Fortunately, no one was harmed in the process. Read the full details at this Turkish news network.

This story is another reminder of the importance of MRI safety, which is sometimes overlooked. For incidents like these, it is important to have the safest equipment and the best safety practices. One easy and effective methods to increase patient safety is with SAMM System, the MRI conditional CCTV camera system, and its upgraded model, SAMM MD, which also provides motion detection features.

Quicker MRI Diagnoses for Breast Cancer?

Can you shorten your MRI exam time, while also getting accurate results? Maybe. 

A recent study published in the Academic Radiology journal shows preliminary results for a quick scan and read times for breast MRI scans. 

To put simply, the team compared using a full diagnostic protocol (FDP) vs a simplified breast protocol (SBP). The difference between the two methods was interpretation and scan time. Instead of a full scan, the SBP uses a limited scan method targeting breast cancer regions. 

The results so far have been promising. The simplified version was comparable to the full diagnostic procedure. This may eventually lead to faster scans without losing accuracy.

In the meantime, most patients will need to go through the full diagnostic process, which is no quick procedure. To make the scan process easier for patients, look to MRI accessories, which provide patient comfort and distraction from the scan. MRI Visors, the portable video goggle system, and MRI Stereo, the two-way communication music device, are excellent tools to ease patient discomfort and distract from the scan.

Are MRI Patients the Most Unsatisfied Patients?

MRI Patients might be the most unsatisfied patients compared to other modalities. 

A recent study in the Journal of American College of Radiology conducted a survey among different departments at several outpatient imaging centers. The goal of this survey was to see what are the driving factors in an imaging patient experience. 

After analyzing over 6000 surveys, results show most comments were positive, which related to the staff and perceived quality of care. Negative comments came mostly from long wait times, and MRI patients were more likely to share negative experiences. The negative comments were usually from the MRI examination itself.

So how can we change this? How can we improve the MRI experience?

Fortunately, our line of MRI Accessories addresses not MRI patient comfort. MRI Visors, the portable video goggle system, and MRI Stereo, the two-way communication music device, are excellent tools to ease patient discomfort and anxiety. Make your MRI patient experience the best.

Why the High Rate of Unexpected Events in MRI Scans?

There is a surprisingly high rate for ‘unexpected events’ during the MRI scan procedure; about 1 in 6 cases have an unexpected event. What do unexpected events mean and why is this important?

The research published in this month’s Journal of American College of Radiology states the rate of unexpected events during an MRI scan process is at about 17%. According to the study, unexpected events are categorized into a number of categories: problems with orders/scheduling; delayed scans; foreign bodies; non-contrast related patient events; contrast related patient events; and technical issues. 

The most common unexpected event was non-contrast related patient events, which related to events when the patient was: claustrophobic, moving too much, or general patient discomfort during the scan. 

This is significant news for the MRI field. Great lengths are still needed to make the MRI experience better for patients. This is not only for their satisfaction, but also make sure the best possible healthcare is provided. 

At Sound Imaging, we have an answer for some of these unexpected events.

Our line of MRI Accessories addresses not only patient comfort but patient safety as well. MRI Visors, the portable video goggle system, and MRI Stereo, the two-way communication music device, are excellent tools to ease patient discomfort and anxiety. To address patient motion, look to our SAMM MD, the MRI camera system with motion detection that can even pause scans if motion is detected. Make your MRI patient experience the best.

Why are Pediatric MRI Costs Increasing?

MRI scans are invaluable for diagnosing a variety of health concerns. However, this process can be scary, especially for little ones. To better cope, most facilities use anesthesia for pediatric scans. 

A recent study by the Partners for Kids organization studied thousands of cases from 2011 to 2014 to better understand the cost breakdown for pediatric MRI scans. During this period, there was increased need for anesthesia, increasing from roughly 22% to 33% in scans.

As you can guess, with more anesthesia needs, the cost for MRI scans goes up especially in this pediatric population.  

At Sound Imaging, we fortunately have a solution for these increased costs. For these little ones, we have developed a MRI device specifically for this population. The MRI Visors are a portable video goggle system that mimic a movie like experience within the MRI. Save these non-stop costs with a quick and easy solution by MRI Visors.

Do You Need Interpersonal Skills to Manage Your MRI?

You might need to have good people skills to effectively run your imaging center according to a new study. 

The Journal of American College of Radiology released a study that showcased the efficacy of trained communication skills. To see if these communication skill trainings were useful, the team compared sites that were trained and sites that were not.

The overall results showed a noticeable difference between the with the sites with communication skills training and those without. Using over 20,000 scans in the span of six months, the sites without communication training showed decreased equipment usage, decreased no-show rates, and decreased patient satisfaction.

So what does all of this data mean? It means there is tangible value in improving the patient experience.   

As professionals, our goal is to always put the patient first, whether that be with effective communication skills or making the MRI scan less scary. 

At Sound Imaging, we do this by ensuring safety and patient satisfaction with our line of MRI Accessories. Put patients at ease with the MRI Stereo, the two-way communication and MRI music system. Make the MRI comfortable with MRI Visors, the portable MRI video google system.

Final Verdict on Gadolinium in MRI Scans?

This past week has shown two varying opinions for the controversial MRI contrast agent, gadolinium. One source presents the FDA will not limit gadolinium based agents, but will continue to study the heavy metal, while a Mayo Clinic study shows preliminary results of gadolinium in postmortem pediatric brains. 

Gadolinium raises some concerns because it is a heavy metal that can be retained within the brain, bone, and skin. However at the moment there is only one condition which relates to directly to gadolinium retention, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). This condition leads to harden skin and stiff joints in those with kidney conditions. 

So is gadolinium dangerous or not? While there is no definitive answer yet, the question alone ought to signal we need to take a closer look at the quality of healthcare. 

As professionals, our goal is to always put the patient first. At Sound Imaging, we do this by ensuring safety and patient satisfaction with our line of MRI Accessories. Increase safety with the SAMM M.D., a motion detection MRI camera system. Make the MRI comfortable with MRI Visors, the portable MRI video google system.

CT and MRI Use is on the Rise for Emergency Rooms

A recent study by the New York School of Medicine and Emory University School of Medicine shows a significant increase to CT and MRI use within emergency departments within the past decade. Depending on the treatment, there was anywhere from 20 to 40 percent increase. 

What does this mean and why does that matter? Firstly, it shows how integral imaging has become to the healthcare world. Secondly, this presents us how effective these imaging needs can be within emergency situations. Often MRI or CT scans are not seen as a tool used in an emergency situation, but this proves that is not necessarily the case.  

At Sound Imaging, we know how much time is of the essence. This is why we offer MRI services, like repairs and installations within a timely manner, to make sure your facility can get back to see patients as soon as possible. Our line of MRI accessories also keep in mind how important time is, with our MRI accessories need little to no down time to install, like MRI Visors, the portable MRI video system, that requires no downtime for your facility.

Can MRI Surgery Save Stroke Patients?

Strokes are one of the most common causes of death, and there is little in terms of treatment. One of the most deadly type of strokes are spontaneous intra-cerebral hemorrhages (ICH), which has a fatality rate of about 50%. 

Fortunately two powerhouses are making a plan to combat these strokes. The Mayo Clinic and MRI Interventions Inc. are collaborating to develop MRI therapies to treat ICH, using the ClearPoint Neuro Navigation System, which allows for real time MRI images of patient’s brain during surgery. In other words, this system allows for surgeons to perform fine-tuned and minimally invasive procedures for stroke patients. 

While there is still more research needed, it seems a new line of work MRI machines will be with assisted surgery.  

At Sound Imaging, we are excited to see how the utility of MRI scans are expanding to treatment options as well. We understand and appreciate the versatility of MRI machines, which is why we aim to provide everything and anything for MRIs. Explore our services, repairs, inventory, and our patient comfort MRI accessories. Find everything you need for your MRI all in one convenient location.

Are MRI Comfort Suites the Future of Imaging?

Another hospital has finished developing a brand new MRI Comfort Suite. The proud owners of this MRI are the Berkeley Medical Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia. 

As with most new MRI scanners, a priority was patient comfort to alleviate claustrophobia. One of the lead doctors, Dr. Sanjay Saluja, notes that while an open bore MRI does alleviate this anxiety, it usually leads to a compromise with scan quality. This was not an acceptable outcome for the team at Berkeley Medical Center. Therefore to keep a high standard of scan quality and patient comfort, the team invested $1.8 million into the MRI Suite. 

Despite the hefty investment, the Berkeley Medical Center and their patients seem to happy with the results, some say it's like walking into the future. Fortunately, there are many other options to improve patient comfort without breaking the bank. 

At Sound Imaging, we are happy to see how patient comfort is improving in the world of imaging. While there is no cost too high for patient care, we also believe that healthcare can easily be affordable and high quality. We meet this ideal with our line of MRI Accessories, like the MRI Visors and MRI Stereo. Easily improve the patient experience with these cost effective and easy to use options if you do not have a million dollars lying around.

Need a MRI Scan? Get on a Cancellation List

In some of our previous blogs, we’ve noted how some people are waiting months or even years to get a MRI scan. Now, we hear news that some people are even skipping ahead on these wait lists. How so?

According to an auditor from Manitoba, Canada, it is by getting on a MRI Scan cancellation list. This essentially means if someone cancels their scan, you can get their spot. Now, this does mean you are opening your availability to the whim of someone cancelling, but it might outweigh the con of having to wait months for a scheduled scan. Read the full story at the Manitoba CBC news story.

At Sound Imaging, we always aim to provide affordable healthcare to all, and we know how important MRI scans are when it comes to health. We do this by making our MRI accessory line competitively priced and our repair and services efficient, so you do not need to break the bank to keep your MRI healthy.

MRI Scanner Predicts Your Age?

MRI scanners can detect a whole lot of different diagnoses. They can show cancer, Alzheimer’s, MS, and plenty more. But can a MRI scan show your age? 

Researchers in the UK, at the Imperial College London, have evidence that MRI scans can detect your ‘brain age’, or how much wear and tear is on your brain compared to your actual age. While this may sound like a doomsday sort of calculation, there is practical use for this analysis.

“The study involves using brain MRI scans to look at the size of people’s brain tissue — gray matter and white matter — across the lifespan,” says Dr. James Cole, one of the project leads. After looking at about 2000 brains, researchers hope with this understanding, we can improve and prevent illness and aging. 

At Sound Imaging, we are always amazed by how much MRI scans can help us learn. We encourage MRI technology with our line of MRI Accessories, aimed at patient comfort and safety. Two of our newest devices are the SAMM M.D., a MRI camera system with motion detection, and MRI Visors, a portable video goggle system that is safe for your MRI scanner.

Can MRI Scans Help Us Understand Obesity?

Many of you have have heard by word of mouth that America is getting heavier. But what are the facts behind this and what can we do to understand these results?

Recently, the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging released an article that used DTI (Diffusion Tenor Imaging) techniques to analyze the brain matter of obese and non-obese volunteers. Their results showed significant changes comparing obese volunteers to non-obese volunteers.

Scans showed those with higher BMI (body mass index) showed decreased brain circuit function with areas controlling reward seeking inhibition, motivation/drive and learning/conditioning. Using these changed brain circuits may help decrease obesity rates. 

At Sound Imaging, we are glad to see how MRIs help us improve healthcare and understanding. We do our best to provide top of the line MRI Accessories to meet the demands of current imaging. One such device, the MRI Visors, allows patients to have a movie-like experience within the machine, and is perfect for studies like this one.

Making MRI's Kid Friendly

The MRI team at Jacksonville, Florida based Wolfson Children’s Hospital have a new campaign to make MRI's kid friendly. They have coined the term, ‘MR-I-Am Ready!’, which aims to educate and calm children’s anxieties as they go through the MRI machine.

Not only does this initiative aim to reduce kid’s anxiety as they go through the scanner, but also to reduce the need for sedation. Sedation is an extra expense, and does not necessarily reduce the the anxiety within children. One parent recalls how scared her child was as going under. 

At Sound Imaging, we are happy to see how more and more education around MRI machines is expanding, even to little ones. We also do our part to let children feel safe within the MRI with our line of patient comfort MRI accessories. One such device, the MRI Visors, allows patients to have a movie-like experience within the machine, and is perfect for all ages.

MRI Safety: Taking a Hard Look

Recently, we’ve been taking a hard look at MRI safety. The Boston Globe this past week published an in-depth and honest analysis of the current state of affairs when it comes to MRI safety. The news is mixed. 

Long story short, in many ways MRI accidents are under-reported due to embarrassment, and most verification, credential, and training processes regarding MRI safety are only voluntary. As MRI scans become more and more used in the healthcare field, we need to ensure safety of patients and staff on MRI facilities. MRI machines have so many benefits, we need to make sure MRI safety isn’t lost in the growth. 

At Sound Imaging, we do our part to increase MRI safety awareness with our line of MRI Safety Devices. We aim to make safety affordable and through, so no one is left in the dark when it comes to MRI safety.

Why We Need MRI Safety Officers

MRI Safety is always a priority. In some ways, MRI machines are safer than most other imaging devices since they do not produce any radiation; but in other ways a giant magnet poses its own risks. 

So it is no wonder why the role of MRI Safety Officer is so important. Currently, the American Board of Magnetic Resonance Safety requires examination, training, and experience to earn a MRI Safety certificate; there are about 600 safety officers in the country today. 

Their role is to ensure patients are always safe and to oversee any possible risks that may occur during a scan. These officers know how important quality assurance and safety go hand in hand.

At Sound Imaging, we know how crucial MRI safety is to MRI staff and patients. We do our best to stay up to date with MRI standards with our line of MRI Accessories, which aim to increase patient safety and comfort.

A PET/MRI Scanner?

Siemens Healthineers debuted the first Illinois base PET/MRI Scanner at Northwestern Memorial Radiology department.

Why combine the two modalities? A better question is why not. By combining MRI and PET, this team aims to reduce patient time spent on imaging needs, while also offering better imaging quality and reducing radiation. This PET/MRI Scanner will likely reduce imaging scan time from 2 hours to about 45 minutes now.

The Northwestern PET/MRI Scanner will also be used for investigatory purposes, such as studying molecular diagnoses, as well as mental health disorders. 

At Sound Imaging, we are continuously surprised with the leaps of advancement the imaging field creates. We do our best to stay up to date with MRI advancement with our line of MRI Accessories, which aim to increase patient safety and comfort.

How to Re-purpose Your Old MRI

Like many things, when a MRI gets old it gets ‘thrown away’. However, in Brisbane, Australia, an old MRI scanner is getting a new life working with CERN to analyze stars. 

Using the high strength magnet, researchers at the CERN ISOLDE facility can build a device to see and learn about nuclear reactions during supernovae explosions. By using a magnet of a old MRI system, CERN was able to save more than 1,000,000 CHF, which equates to almost $1,000,000 USD. 

The cost to repurpose this magnet was only 160 000 CHF or $159,680.64 USD. 

At Sound Imaging, our goal is to make healthcare affordable. We do this by offer repair, refurbishment, maintenance, and recycling services for your MRI Scanner. Along with these services, we also want to make the MRI Suite safe and comfortable with our line of MRI Accessories.

Gadolinium, and How it Relates to MRIs

Some of you may have heard of gadolinium in terms of MRI contrast agents. However, this rare earth metal is raising some concerning health issues.

Not too long ago, the European Medicines Agency stated this agent, as well as three others, ought to be pulled from the European market. Concerns came from the length of time gadolinium stays within the patient’s body. For patients, the EMA recommends asking for no contrast when getting a scan.

Contrast agents are used to make contrast, or more defined images when scanning patients. It is useful to cancer or inflammation diagnoses, but it is not necessary for scans of fractures, and many other diagnoses for example.

While we stay tuned to see what will happen to this contrast agent, we are proud to supply a number of MRI Safety and MRI Comfort devices so your staff and patients don't need to worry about getting your next scan. Two such devices are our SAMM System, a MRI patient monitoring camera system, MRI Stereo, a music and two-way communication device.

How to Make MRI Scans Affordable

Recently, news released about price disparity of MRI costs for patients. In Alaska, the difference between getting a scan from an imaging center versus a hospital was upwards of $3000. Michigan is close behind with a difference of upwards of $2000. 

In many cases it was cheaper to pay out of pocket for scans at imaging centers versus going through the insurance provider and getting a scan at a hospital.

Why is there a vast difference in MRI scan prices?

There are a number of factors, from location, doctors at the facility, and the quality of the equipment. Regardless the reason, this cost is then put onto the patient, the last person who can probably afford a $3000 MRI scan.

To combat this problem, Sound Imaging offers high quality, and low prices for MRI devices. These devices are increase patient safety and patient comfort, all at an affordable price point, so you can pass the savings onto your patients.

MRI Mini Robots to Perform Surgery

Researchers in Houston, Texas, are working to make science fiction a reality. Rather, they are are designing micro-sized robots to perform minimally invasive surgeries that are MRI guided. While MRIs are typically used only to diagnose, there is a movement to have MRI machines also work with treatment methods in non-invasive or minimally invasive way. 

The milli-robots, as they have been coined, will be about the same size as a hair’s width. The ultimate goal of these robots will be to guided by physicians within a MRI machine to perform precise procedures. 

At Sound Imaging, are glad to see how MRI machines are evolving within the world of healthcare. Here, we do our part to improve the MRI Suite as well with our line of MRI accessories.

MRI Detects HIV in the Brain

Researchers at University College London have found that MRI scans can detect HIV within the brain, even after drug treatment for symptoms.

While HIV is much easier to treat and reduce symptoms today, there are potential lingering problems. One such issue is cognitive issues, such as dementia, that almost half of HIV patients report. Usually to test lingering cognitive issues, one must undergo a lumbar puncture procedure to withdraw spinal fluid; as you can imagine, this is a very invasive procedure. 

Fortunately, MRI scans have been able to detect these changes in the brain. In time, MRI procedures may be used to further diagnoses these HIV patients.

At Sound Imaging, we are happy to see how MRIs help diagnose those across conditions. We do our part to improve healthcare by offering affordable, yet effective patient safety and comfort devices, like our SAMM System, a MRI CCTV system and MRI Stereo, a two-way communication and music device.
