Personal experiences in MRI: A cardiologist's perspective
Dr. Sven Piepenburg is training to become a cardiologist at Würzburg University Hospital in Germany. He conducts about 800 MRI examinations on a 3-tesla scanner, mostly on patients with suspected myocardial infarction or inflammation. In this column, he writes about his experiences.

Amyloid PET scores vary with reference-region choice, Spanish study finds
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A Spanish study found that the brain region used as a reference can substantially alter Centiloid scores, while whole-cerebellum normalization produced the most consistent results.

FDG-PET/CT sharpens surveillance after colorectal liver metastasis treatment
By Claudia Tschabuschnig
A Dutch study found that adding metabolic imaging to contrast-enhanced CT improved early detection of local tumor progression after liver ablation or resection, including disease missed by CT alone.
July 30, 2026
Three months after thermal ablation, contrast-enhanced CT (A, B) shows post-treatment changes without clear local progression, while FDG-PET/CECT (C–F) reveals focal uptake suspicious for recurrence.
