A new tool for the characterization of spine fractures
This simple acquisition, evaluating the amount of fat, is another quick and easy method that helps solve the conundrum of spinal fractures: benign or malignant? Article: Proton density fat fraction (PDFF) MR imaging for differentiation of acute benign and neoplastic...
No harm to the paediatric brain after injection of macrocyclic Gadolinium-based agent
Even after several injections of a macrocyclic Gadolinium-based agent, no T1 hyperintensity was seen in the cerebellar dentate nucleus in children. Article: Gadolinium deposition within the paediatric brain: no increased intrinsic T1-weighted signal intensity within...Reply to Letter to the Editor: “Computer-aided diagnosis system for thyroid nodules on ultrasonography: diagnostic performance and reproducibility based on the experience level of operators”
We thank Dr Rojas-Rojas and colleagues for their comments on our recent article [1]. As they commented, we only used still images for the evaluation and cine loops were not used in this study. Since an experienced radiologist recorded still images of the each nodule...Letter to the Editor: “Computer-aided diagnosis system for thyroid nodules on ultrasonography: diagnostic performance and reproducibility based on the experience level of operators”
To the Editor, We read the paper by Jeong et al entitled “Computer-aided diagnosis system for thyroid nodules on ultrasonography: diagnostic performance and reproducibility based on the experience level of operators”. According to this study, a computer-aided...
Copper-containing contraceptives are MR-friendly
This paper confirms that women with such contraceptives can safely enter MR, and that the image quality is not altered. With CT, some artefacts may appear. Article: Risk assessment of copper-containing contraceptives: the impact for women with implanted intrauterine...
Building an anthropomorphic phantom with 3D printing for simulation in Intervention
The development of simulators is a real benefit for those who want to train for intervention, without any risk for the patients. In this article, the authors show how a 3D phantom can be constructed. Compare the patient and the phantom, and appreciate how realistic it...Reply to Letter to the Editor: Cardiac implanted electronic devices and MRI safety in 2018 – the state of play
Dear Editor, We thank Murray, Bassareo & Gilligan for their interest in our article. We focused our review [1] on recently published evidence that had resulted in changes to the safety recommendations for the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of devices which were...Letter to the Editor: Cardiac implanted electronic devices and MRI safety in 2018 – the state of play
We congratulate Ryan Mark Shulman and Ben Hunt for their review on MR imaging of cardiac implanted electronic devices [1]. In addition to pacemakers and automatic implantable cardioverter devices mentioned in their article there are a third newer group of devices...
