The MRI at 50 – what lies ahead?

 2020-12-03

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard of imaging diagnostics in many medical fields. But it is still far from always being readily available – even where it would be the best option. Technological progress is rapid. The next generation MRI could look very different.

What’s that knocking?

 2020-11-26

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been part of routine medical practice for years. The big tubes produce fascinating images. No wonder that MRI is seen as the crowning glory of diagnostics. But how exactly does it work? What’s so special about it? We answer twelve questions to give a better idea.

The development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an exciting story of innovation spanning four decades and two Nobel prizes.

Magnetic resonance imaging: the long path to the patient

 2020-11-19

The development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an exciting story of innovation spanning four decades – if not several centuries – and two Nobel prizes. But the fact that MRI scanners are now used in patient care all over the world is also thanks to industrial research and development.

Why I Stopped Worrying And Love The Intelligent Machine

 2019-08-08

Our new column “Point of View” picks up trends and developments in healthcare. In this first edition, Greg Freiherr comments on the advent of AI in the medical world – and how he learned to embrace it.

Healthcare Trends
Patient undergoing immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) cancer therapy with troponin elevation and suspicion of immune myocarditis. While (A) LGE imaging demonstrates very faint diffuse enhancement, cardiac relaxometry with T1 and T2-mapping (at 1.5T) provides further information. (B) T2 mapping reveals a T2 time of 55 ms while (C) pre-contrast T1 values were 1184 ms and (D) post-contrast T1 values 519 ms (0.15 mmol/kg Gadobutrol). Based on the patient’s hematocrit the ECV is calculated to 38%.

The Role of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging

 2019-07-11

In recent years, the link between tumor therapies and cardiac disease has gained substantial attention. With improving survival rates of patients with various malignancies, potential detrimental effects on cardiac function and outcome including increased morbidity and mortality has become the center of such investigations.

Artificial Intelligence for MRI

 2019-06-07

The developments in computational hardware and algorithms, in particular the advent of methods suitable for training complex neural networks (Deep Learning), have opened up new possibilities for machine learning [1] and automation in many applications. MRI, postprocessing and interpretation, in fact radiology in general, are no exception.
