CaliberMRI announces key milestone in supporting MRI scans from 0.064T to 7T to advance standards and data quality in the age of AI
BOULDER, Colo., May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CaliberMRI, an industry leader in standardizing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), announced that qCal-MR®, an integrated quality assurance (QA) software platform, now supports phantom scan analysis on more than 40 MRI scanner makes and models at a variety of field strengths including: 0.064T (Hyperfine), 0.35T (MRIdian ViewRay), 0.55T (Siemens Free.Max), 1.5T (Canon, Elekta, GE, Philips, Siemens), 3T (Canon, GE, Philips, Siemens, United Imaging), and 7T (Philips). This broad and growing platform allows multi-site comparison of scanners for clinical trials, hospital system QA/quality control (QC), and research and development (R&D).
The rapid move to quantitative MRI in parallel with the growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) advancements highlights the need for high quality data. CaliberMRI's hardware/software phantom platform allows comparison of scanner output for an improved understanding of data quality.
'Our software development, focused on supporting QA/QC analysis, enables data standardization and harmonization - key for establishing quantitative imaging biomarkers (QIBs) and understanding tissue characteristics for treatment monitoring and planning,' says Bill Hollander, CEO and Founder of CaliberMRI. 'By improving ease of use, qCal-MR improves repeatability and reproducibility and allows users to track scanner performance.'
qCal-MR is compatible with the company's standard phantom products to support relaxometry (T1, T2, and PD) as well as diffusion (ADC). Reports also assess geometric accuracy and SNR. Hollander states, 'It is exciting to see adoption of our platform - from our first research customers to new users focused on routine QA/QC for clinical applications, annual physics testing, and analysis of AI/ML imaging tools in the move to precision and personalized medicine.'
CaliberMRI will be exhibiting at Booth A32 at the upcoming ISMRM Conference in Hawaii.

Supreme Court grants DOGE access to social security data
A divided US Supreme Court on Friday granted President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to the social security data of millions of Americans. The decision came after the Trump administration appealed to the top court to lift an April order by a district judge restricting DOGE access to Social Security Administration (SSA) records. "SSA may proceed to afford members of the SSA DOGE Team access to the agency records in question in order for those members to do their work," the top court said in a brief unsigned order. The three liberal justices on the Supreme Court dissented, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson saying the move poses "grave privacy risks for millions of Americans." "Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, bank-account numbers, medical records -- all of that, and more, is in the mix," Jackson said. "The Government wants to give DOGE unfettered access to this personal, non-anonymized information right now -- before the courts have time to assess whether DOGE's access is lawful," she said. In her April ruling, District Judge Ellen Hollander banned DOGE staff from accessing data containing information that could personally identify Americans such as their social security numbers, medical history or bank records. Social security numbers are a key identifier for people in the United States, used to report earnings, establish eligibility for welfare and retirement benefits and other purposes. Hollander said the SSA can only give redacted or anonymized records to DOGE employees who have completed background checks and training on federal laws, regulations and privacy policies. The case before Hollander was brought by a group of unions which argued that the SSA had opened its data systems to unauthorized personnel from DOGE "with disregard for the privacy" of millions of Americans. DOGE, which has been tasked by Trump with slashing billions of dollars of goverment spending, was headed at the time by SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk, who has since had a very public falling out with the president. Trump has been at loggerheads with the judiciary ever since he returned to the White House, venting his fury at court rulings at various levels that have frozen his executive orders on multiple issues. cl/dw

US Supreme Court allows DOGE broad access to Social Security data
By John Kruzel WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday permitted the Department of Government Efficiency, a key player in President Donald Trump's drive to slash the federal workforce, broad access to personal information on millions of Americans in Social Security Administration data systems while a legal challenge plays out. At the request of the Justice Department, the justices put on hold Maryland-based U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander's order that had largely blocked DOGE's access to "personally identifiable information" in data such as medical and financial records while litigation proceeds in a lower court. Hollander found that allowing DOGE unfettered access likely would violate a federal privacy law. The court's brief, unsigned order did not provide a rationale for siding with DOGE. The court has a 6-3 conservative majority. Its three liberal justices dissented from the order. DOGE swept through federal agencies as part of the Republican president's effort, spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk, to eliminate federal jobs, downsize and reshape the U.S. government and root out what they see as wasteful spending. Musk formally ended his government work on May 30. Two labor unions and an advocacy group sued to stop DOGE from accessing sensitive data at the Social Security Administration, or SSA, including Social Security numbers for Americans, bank account data, tax information, earnings history and immigration records. The agency is a major provider of government benefits, sending checks each month to more than 70 million recipients including retirees and disabled Americans. In their lawsuit, the plaintiffs argued that the Social Security Administration had been "ransacked" and that DOGE members had been installed without proper vetting or training and demanded access to some of the agency's most sensitive data systems. Hollander in an April 17 ruling found that DOGE had failed to explain why its stated mission required "unprecedented, unfettered access to virtually SSA's entire data systems." "For some 90 years, SSA has been guided by the foundational principle of an expectation of privacy with respect to its records," Hollander wrote. "This case exposes a wide fissure in the foundation." Hollander issued a preliminary injunction that prohibited DOGE staffers and anyone working with them from accessing data containing personal information, with only narrow exceptions. The judge's ruling does allow DOGE affiliates to access data that has been stripped of private information as long as those seeking access have gone through the proper training and passed background checks. Hollander also ordered DOGE affiliates to "disgorge and delete" any personal information already in their possession. The Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a 9-6 vote declined on April 30 to pause Hollander's block on DOGE's unlimited access to Social Security Administration records. Justice Department lawyers in their Supreme Court filing characterized Hollander's order as judicial overreach. "The district court is forcing the executive branch to stop employees charged with modernizing government information systems from accessing the data in those systems because, in the court's judgment, those employees do not 'need' such access," they wrote. The six dissenting judges wrote that the case should have been treated the same as one in which 4th Circuit panel ruled 2-1 to allow DOGE to access data at the U.S. Treasury and Education Departments and the Office of Personnel Management. In a concurring opinion, seven judges who ruled against DOGE wrote that the case involving Social Security data was "substantially stronger" with "vastly greater stakes," citing "detailed and profoundly sensitive Social Security records," such as family court and school records of children, mental health treatment records and credit card information.
