US elastography, contrast-enhanced mammography, MR spectroscopy: Which offers the most promise?
By Rebekah Moan
VIENNA - Mammography is an imperfect modality, so it makes sense that radiologists are on the lookout for something better, or at least something to supplement the technique. Thursday's refresher course covers functional imaging of the breast and goes into detail about ultrasound elastography, contrast-enhanced mammography, and MRI diffusion, perfusion, and spectroscopy, which may supplement mammography or replace it altogether.

Molecular advances boost evaluation of cancer treatment response
By Becky McCall
VIENNA - Advances in molecular imaging promise to make it realistic to identify differences in response of cancer cells to a specific treatment, and this information will eventually be used to better adapt therapies to a patient's specific needs.

Hybrid brain imaging technique adds temporal dimension
By Jude Dineley
MRI/PET/electroencephalography hybrid scanning has been achieved for the first time by a group of researchers from Jülich in Germany, according to a recent article published online by the Journal of Magnetic Resonance, which describes the work being done and makes a case for multimodal imaging at 3 tesla and 9.4 tesla.
