MAGNETOM Flash - November 2011

For several years now we have distributed a new issue of the MAGNETOM Flash at the RSNA (we even call it the “RSNA issue”). Sharing knowledge and showing how MR imaging technology influences patient diagnosis are what MAGNETOM Flash magazine is all about. This issue is no different.

Here you can read, for example, about how the Children’s Hospital in Atlanta deals with imaging for surgical therapy planning of epilepsy in children1; about imaging protocols for imaging of the lumbosacral plexus at Johns Hopkins Hospital; and about the clinical reality of simultaneous MR/PET at the University Hospital of Tübingen. Of course, these are just three of many exciting and informative articles awaiting you on the following pages.

 

Enjoy reading the latest issue of MAGNETOM Flash!
