ISMRM 2007
May 25, 2007 Delayed-enhancement MRI earned the modality an essential role in myocardial assessments. Now it is showing promise for measuring intra-arterial inflammation in coronary artery disease and maybe systemic arteriosclerosis as well. More » May 25, 2007 Radiologists have not been able to obtain MR data of sufficient resolution to perform volumetric imaging of the colon within a breath-hold -- until now. More » May 25, 2007 German researchers have developed a protocol for MRI of the knee at 7T that reportedly allows visualization of all relevant anatomical structures and the most common pathologies. More » May 25, 2007 Patients examined at the Qilu Hospital of Shandong University in China for rectal cancer benefit from the added diagnostic power of 3T MRI for staging and identifying candidates for sphincter-sparing surgery. More » May 25, 2007 Philips Medical Systems is assessing the use of naturally occurring, nonradioactive fluorine-19 as part of an MR contrast agent that will root out the early signs of colorectal cancer. More » May 24, 2007 The two most prestigious poster awards were bestowed on research teams from the radiology department of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, at the ISMRM-ESMRMB congress on Thursday. Another top prize went to a team from Stanford University in California. More » May 24, 2007 Safety concerns that restrict the use of MR scanners to field strengths below 8T may not be warranted, based on research results presented May 24 in Berlin. More » May 24, 2007 The first brain images produced simultaneously with a prototype MR/PET scanner were shown at the Siemens Medical Solutions booth and in a scientific session in Berlin. The device, currently in development at a Siemens lab, integrates a PET detector into the bore of a 3T scanner. More » May 24, 2007 Nephrogenic systemic fibrosis is the train radiologists never saw coming. NSF is a painful, debilitating, possibly fatal skin disorder that has been linked to chelated gadolinium contrast media administered prior to MRI for patients with renal disorder. More than 200 cases have been confirmed... More » May 23, 2007 The use of sensitivity encoding and a gradient echo sequence in dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion imaging at 3T leads to fewer artifacts and better diagnostic quality, according to award-winning research from Denmark. More » May 23, 2007 Researchers in the U.K. have used functional MR imaging to show that patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) respond differently to heat and pain stimulation compared with diabetic patients without peripheral neuropathy. More » May 23, 2007 A novel low-field electromagnetic MR scanner has the potential to deliver high-quality images, even in the presence of metal implants, and can do so for radically less than the cost of conventional superconducting magnets. More » May 23, 2007 MR-guided biopsies at 3T are showing great promise in prostate cancer because of their speed and high tumor detection rate in patients with rising PSA levels and previous negative biopsies, according to a leading research team from the Netherlands. They also do well in patients who have had previous... More » May 22, 2007 More is better and all but inevitable in medical imaging. In CT, more means slices. In MR, it’s channels for receiving radiofrequency signals. These currently number 32 on the most advanced commercially available systems. But a replacement for that benchmark is in the works. More » May 22, 2007 Breast MRI may be particularly beneficial as a screening tool for Asian women, and its improved sensitivity and specificity are boosting cancer detection rates, according to a Taiwanese poster presentation.

Integration Relation: Jacques Coumans, VP of MR Marketing, Philips Medical Systems Integration Relation: Jacques Coumans, vice president of MR marketing for Philips Medical Systems, explains how the company's acquisition last year of Intermagnetics, along with its subsidiary, Invivo, has simplified functional MR and how Philips' efforts to do so relate to its corporate policy of making sophisticated MR techniques easier to do. DI business editor Greg Freiherr has the report.
MR Robot: Prof. Dr. Andreas Melzer, Co-Founder of InnoMedic MR Robot: Prof. Dr. Andreas Melzer, director of the Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology at the University of Dundee in Scotland and co-founder of InnoMedic, describes at the ISMRM meeting a robot designed for MR interventions. The device, now in clinical testing, takes cues from an MR scan to position a probe at an exact point and along a specific trajectory. DI business editor Greg Freiherr has the report.
