Low‐value care and variation in practice in the care of children hospitalized with bronchiolitis in Canada (CareBEST): Protocol for a multi‐center prospective cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Low‐value care refers to health services for which the potential harms or costs outweigh the benefits of use. Bronchiolitis is the most common and among the most costly causes of pediatric hospitalizations. Evidence consistently shows that many common tests and treatments used to manage bronchiolitis do not improve outcomes ...

Motion Mitigation Techniques for Abdominal and Cardiac MR Imaging

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MRI of the heart and abdominal organs provides unparalleled soft tissue contrast and quantitative biomarkers, yet remains highly susceptible to physiological motion. Contractions of the myocardium, respiratory excursions, peristalsis, vascular pulsatility, and unpredictable bulk patient movement generate artifacts that impair image quality ...
