Imaging Utilization, Socioeconomic Factors, and CT versus MRI Measurement Agreement in Thoracic Aortic Surveillance (Pending Acceptance)
Sun, E., Johnson, E.M.I., Markl, M., Allen, B.D., International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine Annual Meeting 2026, Cape Town, South Africa, 2026
This study illustrates socioeconomic and clinical factors influencing CT and MRI use for aortic surveillance and demonstrates comparable growth-rate measurements across modalities, supporting interchangeable follow-up strategies and motivating broader MRI accessibility to promote equitable, radiation-free imaging.
