Imaging appearance of COVID-19 Pneumonia on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Chest

Mohammad Hossein Jalili, Cameron Hassani, Stefan Ruehm and Arash Bedayat

Abstract

There are reports of incidental identification of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) associated pneumonia on chest and abdominal CT scans of asymptomatic patients. However, there are few reports of incidental COVID-19 findings on cardiac or chest MRI. Since these pulmonary indicators of COVID-19 infection can be well visualized on MRI, it is essential for clinicians to recognize potential pulmonary findings on MR images.

Clinical Evaluation of a Mitral Valve Simulation Application Used to Support Planning of Transcatheter Edge to Edge Repair Procedures
Klaus Fuglsang Kofoed, Michael Huy Cuong Pham, James Vincent Chapman, Jesper James Linde, Ole de Backer, Lars Valeur Køber, Fumimasa Shige, Gakuto Aoyama, and Takuya Sakaguchi Background: Transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) in the setting of severe mitral regurgitation (MR) has experienced increased usage in recent years. To select appropriate candidates and plan for
A Comparison of Complication Rates between Transhepatic and Transperitoneal Percutaneous Cholecystostomy Routes in the Treatment of Acute Cholecystitis
Rebecca Hopkins, Alexandra Hodder and Andrew Dalton Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is an interventional radiology procedure used to treat gallbladder-related complications in patients who are poor surgical candidates for cholecystectomy. It can be performed via a transperitoneal (TP) or transhepatic (TH) approach, though the literature remains inconclusive on which route is superior.
