Is it OK to refer to an 'MR scan'?
By Dr. Peter Rinck, PhD
I admit that I have used have used the terms "MR scanner" and "MR scanning" of a patient. It's so easy to do, and everybody around accepts it. The problem is that magnetic resonance machines are not scanners. They are equipment, contraptions, apparatuses (as ugly as it sounds), perhaps even imagers or whoppers.

Tool fuses CTA and perfusion MR for cardiac evaluation
By Eric Barnes
An experimental software tool that combines the analytical power of coronary CT angiography (CTA) and MR perfusion images of the heart can provide a comprehensive assessment of coronary artery patency and cardiac function that is superior to examining both separately, according to a new study.

Dutch assess robotic MR-guided prostate biopsies
By Cynthia E. Keen
Researchers from the Netherlands have found that an evaluation of a robotic technique to use for transrectal MR-guided prostate biopsies of men suspected of having cancer fell short of expectations. They concluded at the moment it is not feasible for the new procedure to replace existing manual techniques.

Germans act creatively to make MR-guided biopsies viable
By Philip Ward
MR-guided biopsies can produce valuable results, but often they are time-consuming and expensive. To make them a more realistic clinical proposition, it is vital to cut the preparation time, obtain fewer image acquisitions, and involve experienced interventional radiologists, researchers from the University of Tübingen in Germany have reported.

3D contrast-enhanced MRA enters clinical practice
By Erik L. Ridley
Evidence is mounting that low-dose 3D contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) is both practical and reproducible in the carotids, chest, abdomen, and lower extremities, and may reduce the risk of dose-dependent patient complications.

Researchers must manage unexpected findings, report urges
By Cynthia E. Keen
To ignore the issue of incidental findings is unacceptable. Imaging research centers must manage these findings as if they were a medical issue, and they need to establish specific and detailed guidelines and protocols to manage abnormal findings, ranging from life-threatening to minor.
