Head and neck imaging has benefited from 1.5 T magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, providing faster sequences, better soft tissue evaluation, and 3-axis imaging, with less radiation and iodine-based contrast injection….
Recent advances in magnetic resonance (MR) hardware and software have improved the resolution and spatial coverage of head and neck first-pass contrast-enhanced (CE) MR angiography. Despite these improvements, high-quality submillimeter-resolution…
Diagnostic modalities for the diagnosis of acute stroke have increased in number and quality. Magnetic resonance imaging has increasingly become a central tool for the management of patients with stroke….
High-field magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is showing potential for imaging of neurodegenerative diseases. 7 T MR imaging is beginning to be used in a clinical research setting and the theoretical…
Epileptogenic lesions are often subtle, do not change during life, and are easily overlooked, if spatial resolution and signal to noise ratio are inappropriate. 2D or more recently 3D-FLAIR sequences…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common inflammatory demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system (CNS). MS has been subject to high-field magnetic resonance (MR) imaging research to a great…
William G. Bradley Jr, MD, PhD Professor Willinek has done his usual excellent job bringing together top experts for this High Field Imaging Issue of Neuroimaging Clinics. This, of course,…
Radiology benefits managers (RBMs) and computerized decision support offer different advantages and disadvantages in the efforts to provide appropriate use of radiology resources. RBMs are effective in their hard-stop ability…
One of the major pitfalls faced by physicians is a basic lack of understanding of the legal aspects of medical malpractice. It is the authors’ hope that the brief review…
A conflict of interest occurs when an outside interest influences professional decisions regarding patient care, education, or research. It is important to recognize conflicts of interest and to report significant…
