MRI can replace biopsy for prostate cancer surveillance
MRI can be used in place of serial biopsy as part of an active surveillance program for prostate cancer, complementing prostate-specific antigen levels and digital rectal exams in early-stage patients. The combination could help guide who needs treatment without the need for biopsy, according to a study in the March issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.

No signal intensity for pediatric patients with macrocyclic GBCA
German researchers have found additional evidence that the use of a macrocyclic gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) for MRI scans does not increase signal intensity in the dentate nucleus. The new findings come from a study of pediatric patients published online in Radiology.
