Dear MRI Insider,
Dr. Marcel Koenigkam Santos is living proof of the value of transatlantic collaboration in research. Having spent 18 months working on lung MRI studies in Germany, the Brazilian radiologist can testify that such visits often lead to substantial benefits for everybody involved.
Dr. Koenigkam Santos and his colleagues have just published an article in the European Journal of Radiology on their experiences -- to read more about this unique example of German-Brazilian cooperation, click here.
Breast MRI has proved helpful for lesion diagnosis and patient management in certain clinical situations, but there is no clear consensus about the use of the technique as a problem-solving tool for BI-RADS 0 findings on conventional imaging. New Austrian research has tackled this issue. Click here for the details.
MR-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound is "sufficiently reliable and safe" to begin clinical trials in the liver, according to researchers in Finland and the Netherlands, who have assessed the use of the technique in a clinically acceptable setting. Get the story here.
Both MRI and CT are developing a greater role in autopsies, delegates learned at the French national radiology congress, the JFR, held in Paris last month. Researchers are making progress in MR spectroscopy and micro-MRI in this area. To learn more, click here.
