MAGNETOM Flash - December 2008

The articles and case reports in this issue of MAGNETOM Flash are proof of the broad spectrum of examinations that are supported or even enabled by Tim®– the Total imaging matrix. From diffusion-weighted imaging throughout the whole body to examinations of our smallest patients* as presented in the case reports from the Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia. 


*The safety of imaging fetuses/infants has not been established.
