Dear MRI Insider,
October 9 marks Columbus Day in the U.S., so we'd like to invite you to explore the MRI Digital Community for the latest discoveries in magnetic resonance imaging.
First, if you are in the market for an MR system, Tobias Gilk of Junk Architects offers advice on the questions to ask of vendor representatives. If your magnet is already up and running, you can learn how the ACR's Appropriateness Criteria helped the Israeli air force streamline its MRI usage.
For neuroimaging specialists, we have an article that sheds light on the clinical and MRI findings that characterize children with cerebral palsy. Also, visit the MRI Digital Community on Tuesday for a dispatch from the 2006 American Neurological Association meeting in Chicago.
In orthopedic MR, we have a story on how the modality fares as a diagnostic tool in low back pain, as well as how MR results correlate with the type of healthcare insurance a patient has. Meanwhile, cardiac specialists can learn more about why postoperative MRI is safe for stent recipients.
Finally, delve into MR imaging of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in our Insider Exclusive. Dentists and head and neck imagers may be enthusiastic about the modality's value in this joint, but will MRI become the gold standard for diagnosing TMJ disorders? Click here to read more.
