New processors bring greater speed to medical imaging industry
In personal computers, quad-core microprocessors and graphics processors allow the user to view graphics with extreme detail. The gaming industry has embraced this technology, and an entire generation of teenagers has driven the development of advanced computer games. Now, the medical imaging industry has discovered that it can leverage the high-speed computation technology to advance medical imaging.

ISMRM: Researchers eye fibrosis patterns in the body's organs
A 70-year-old female patient with chronic low back pain. History of radicular syndrome which led to targeted nerve block with positive effect. However, lower back pain persisted. FDG-PET/MRI showed increased FDG uptake in a disc herniation at L5-S1 (SUVmax 1.6) convincing the treating physician to proceed to discectomy. After discectomy, the patient is now mostly pain free.
