Dear AuntMinnie Member,
It's radiology's equivalent of an Italian sports car -- fast, incredibly powerful, nice to look at as well. But like the sports car, 3-tesla MRI comes with its share of headaches, including a bigger price tag and more complex operation.
The pros and cons of 3-tesla MRI are the subject of this week's Question of the Week, AuntMinnie.com's interactive poll that lets you sound off on important issues in radiology. Available at question.auntminnie.com, Question of the Week also lets you see how your colleagues feel about the hot issues in medical imaging today.
Plus, Question of the Week gives you the chance to win one of Apple Computer's hot new iPod nano MP3 players. We're giving away one iPod nano a month to an AuntMinnie member who participates in our Question of the Week poll -- like radiologic technologist LeighAnne Sterling of Chatham, Ontario, Canada, who is our winner for March.
You get one entry into the monthly drawing each time you vote in Question of the Week (but remember that you can only vote once on a particular week's question).
So what's your opinion? Will 3-tesla MRI eventually become the clinical gold standard for high-field MRI? Or will the added expense and complexity hold it back? Let us know by clicking here.
