DCE- and DWI-MRI show neoadjuvant chemotherapy results in breast cancer
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, November 27 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SSG01-05 | Arie Crown TheaterBoth dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) and diffusion-weighted (DWI) MRI can accurately reflect response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy among breast cancer patients during treatment with minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) as the most predictive marker of pathologic response, according to a study to be presented on Tuesday.

1.5T ASL-MRI shows proficiency in Alzheimer's diagnosis
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 26 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSE16-06 | Room N230In this scientific session, Japanese researchers will discuss how 3D arterial spin labeling (ASL) on 1.5-tesla MRI can help diagnose Alzheimer's disease and is more likely to reduce susceptibility effects that occur at 3 tesla.

Preop breast MRI can help reduce re-excision rates
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 26 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSE01-01 | Arie Crown TheaterPreoperative breast MRI can reduce re-excision rates among cancer patients with no significant difference in mastectomy rates or cancer detection, according to a study by researchers from Emory University.

MRI evaluates sports hernia with an eye toward prevention
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 26 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSC10-08 | Room E450BU.S. football players are prone to some serious injuries, including athletic pubalgia -- commonly known as sports hernia -- which can obviously hinder their productivity. Researchers from Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals will discuss how MRI can help in a scientific session on Monday.
