Munich group relies on 3T to boost viability of cardiac MRI
By Philip Ward
The introduction of 3-tesla MRI into clinical practice has made cardiac MRI a more powerful tool for determining myocardial vitality, perfusion, and function. The technology can help identify coronary stenoses and avoid unnecessary stent implantations in patients with intermediate lesions, German researchers found.

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.
