DW-MRI is beneficial in pelvic lymph node detection
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 30 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSE11-03 | Room E353BResearchers at Bern University Hospital in Switzerland will discuss their use of diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) to detect pelvic lymph node metastases with a high negative predictive value, even in normal-sized nodes.

German researchers successfully test SPACE sequence for brain metastases
By Wayne Forrest
Sunday, November 29 | 11:55 a.m.-12:05 p.m. | SSA15-08 | Room N226U.S. and German researchers will discuss their development of a work-in-progress 3D T1-weighted fast spin-echo sequence (SPACE) technique, which has shown an ability to detect brain metastases with 3-tesla MRI.

MRI complements ultrasound in detecting deep plantar thrombophlebitis
By Wayne Forrest
Wednesday, December 2 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSM13-04 | Room E451BWhile it is not the modality of choice, MRI can help provide the diagnosis for deep plantar thrombophlebitis in patients with plantar pain, according to this Wednesday afternoon scientific session presentation.

BOLD fMRI may identify the underlying characteristics of autism
By Wayne Forrest
Wednesday, December 2 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSM15-01 | Room N226A preliminary study from the University of Utah indicates that resting-state blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) functional MRI (fMRI) has the potential to identify in vivo abnormalities of regional brain connectivity that account for the physical or biochemical characteristics of autism.

Contrast MRI safe to detect central nervous system lesions in children
By Wayne Forrest
Wednesday, December 2 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSM19-01 | Room N230Results from this international multicenter study indicate that gadobenate dimeglumine is safe and effective for contrast-enhanced MRI of central nervous system lesions in children.

3T MRI matches 3T MRA in acetabular labral tear detection
By Wayne Forrest
Wednesday, December 2 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSM14-01 | Room E450BThree-tesla MRI alone is sufficient to detect acetabular labral tears in the hip without the need for 3-tesla MR arthrography (MRA). So say researchers in Florida, who found that 3-tesla MRI's sensitivity matched that of 3-tesla MRA in preoperative planning for acetabular labral repair.

MRI leads to better therapy for pelvic pain in pregnant, postpartum women
By Wayne Forrest
Wednesday, December 2 | 10:50 a.m.-11:00 a.m. | VS41-09 | Room S503ABIn this Wednesday morning scientific session, Israeli researchers will discuss how MRI should be the first step in diagnosing and treating pelvic pain in pregnant and recently postpartum women.

ASL-MRI detects caffeine's effect on cerebral blood flow
By Wayne Forrest
Wednesday, December 2 | 10:20 a.m.-10:30 a.m. | VN41-08 | Room N228Ever wonder how caffeine kick-starts the brain after that morning coffee? Japanese researchers may have an answer, as they used 3-tesla arterial spin-labeled MRI (ASL-MRI) to show how caffeine intake induces global and regional perfusion changes in the brain.

3T MRA best detects small unruptured intracranial aneurysms
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, December 1 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ18-03 | Room N229Japanese researchers are recommending 3-tesla 3D time-of-flight MR angiography (MRA) over 1.5-tesla MRA to screen patients for unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

fMRI can help assess therapy for fatigued MS patients
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSG15-08 | Room N229By evaluating cortical reorganization during a motor task, functional MRI (fMRI) could help assess the efficacy of a rehabilitation therapy in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients who are fatigued before and after therapy, according to this Tuesday morning scientific session presentation.

ASL-MRI identifies mild cases of Alzheimer's in elderly patients
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, December 1 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SSG14-05 | Room N228Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center have used arterial spin-labeled MRI (ASL-MRI) to identify clinical Alzheimer's disease in elderly subjects with symptoms so mild that none of them had been identified as having dementia or memory loss by their primary care physician.
