7 novembre 2011 -- PARIS - Les radiologues accueilleraient volontiers un consensus sur les risques liés à l'utilisation des agents de contraste à base de gadolinium pour la santé des patients.

PARIS - Many Western studies of the effects of acupuncture seem to be missing the point, looking for on-or-off effects caused by inserting the long needles used in this traditional Chinese medical practice. But functional MRI is now making progress in this area.
