Technology broadens scope of cardiac MR
By Eric Barnes
From perfusion imaging to infarct detection and guided intervention, cardiac MRI (CMRI) is gaining utility and fans in the academic world and beyond. The options are poised to expand rapidly in the coming years thanks to better coil designs, higher field strengths in scanners, and specialized contrast agents, to name a few of the forces shaping CMR's future.

US, MR spot life-threatening abdominal pregnancy before it's too late
By Shalmali Pal
Intra-abdominal pregnancy is rare, but when it does occur, pinpointing it can be a complex process. Two case reports offer details on the role of imaging in making this difficult diagnosis. First, clinicians in Thailand describe a case of a uterocutaneous fistula that occurred after the placenta was left in a term abdominal pregnancy. In the second, clinicians in India report how MRI and ultrasound helped them diagnose an extrauterine pregnancy in a woman with a history of gynecological problems.

From tears to TKA: The ins and outs of knee MRI
By Shalmali Pal
Whether it's an injury of the MCL, POL, or PCL, MRI can be the go-to modality for knee imaging. Dr. Douglas Beall from Oklahoma City offered his tips on getting the most out this modality at the 2006 International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine meeting in Seattle. Beall covered old school topics (injury grading) as well as newer ones (postarthroplasty complications) in knee MRI.

Better enhancement, fewer artifacts seen with certain -- but not all -- MR contrast agents
By Shalmali Pal
Two new studies evaluated three different MR contrast agents for brain and spinal imaging. In the first study, a multi-institutional group compared two gadolinium-based contrast agents for the enhancement of central nervous system (CNS) lesions. In the second, researchers tested a half-life gadolinium-based contrast agent in functional MRI (fMRI).
