Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
It's safe to say Dr. César Martín knows a good deal about fetal MRI, having worked with the modality for more than 20 years, and he's keen to share his experiences of what remains a difficult technique to get right.
He and his colleagues used MRI to evaluate 1,025 pregnant women seen at UDIAT-CD Hospital Parc Taulí in Sabadell, Spain, between 1997 and 2017. They presented their findings at RSNA 2017, and they won a certificate of merit from the judges in Chicago.

Researchers at Imperial College London are doing some important work in advanced visualization, and their latest publication has appeared today. They have shown how an augmented reality headset can view CT angiography images to boost the accuracy and speed of reconstructive surgery. Visit the Advanced Visualization Community, or click here.
Three-dimensional printing has been a hot topic at this week's Arab Health event, which is supported by the European Society of Radiology and has attracted around 103,000 delegates and 4,200 exhibitors from over 150 countries.

Meanwhile, the French Society of Radiology revealed the extremely sad news that cardiac MRI pioneer Dr. Alain Rahmouni passed away suddenly last Friday. Tributes are already flowing in for this popular and respected radiologist who was well-known on both sides of the Atlantic. To read more, click here.
Relaxation time measurements are back in fashion among the global MRI community, it seems. But is this necessarily a good thing? Or is it a source of concern? The Maverinck addresses the subject in his new column.
