MRI helps evaluate cartilage formation of the knee joint
By Wayne Forrest
Wednesday, December 1 | 11:30 a.m.-11:40 a.m. | SSK10-07 | Room E451BIn this scientific session, researchers will discuss how high-resolution 3D MRI can help determine the magnitude and local distribution of load-dependent cartilage deformation in the different compartments of the knee joint.

MR enterography a 'favorable' option for evaluating Crohn's disease
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, November 30 | 3:50 p.m.-4:00 p.m. | SSJ08-06 | Room E353AResearchers of a new study to be presented on Tuesday concluded that MR enterography compares favorably to endoscopy for evaluating known or suspected Crohn's disease -- and it does so in a noninvasive manner without exposing patients to ionizing radiation.

3T matches 1.5T MR in evaluating ileocolonic Crohn's disease
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, November 30 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSJ08-03 | Room E353AIn this scientific paper, Italian researchers recommend the use of 3-tesla MRI for patients with ileocolonic Crohn's disease because of the modality's superiority in detecting mucosal ulcers, increased signal-to-noise ratio, and reduced image acquisition time.

Multitransmit 3T MRI improves lumbar spine image quality, reduces scan time
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, November 30 | 11:20 a.m.-11:30 a.m. | SSG10-06 | Room N226Researchers from the University of Vermont in Burlington will present their study results showing how multitransmit 3-tesla MRI enhances lumbar spine image quality and reduces scan time to 20 minutes or less.

Dual-source RF in 3T MRI reduces spinal cord exam time
By Wayne Forrest
Tuesday, November 30 | 10:40 a.m.-10:50 a.m. | SSG10-02 | Room N226Dual-source radiofrequency (RF) transmission in 3-tesla MRI of the spinal cord reduces exam time by one-third and produces diagnostic-quality images comparable to standard single-transmission sequences, according to a new study from the University of Bonn Medical Center in Germany.

MRI helps detect soft-tissue edema after physiotherapy
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 29 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSE15-04 | Room E451BIn this paper presentation, German researchers will explain how MRI can help determine an increase in soft-tissue edema after physiotherapy, which sometimes can be misinterpreted as an injury in people who play sports.

MRI, DWI-MRI both accurate in pediatric appendicitis diagnosis
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 29 | 3:00 p.m.-3:10 p.m. | SSE20-01 | Room N230Dutch researchers have found that both MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) MRI achieve high accuracy in diagnosing appendicitis in pediatric patients, with negative predictive value and positive predictive value of MRI comparable to CT.

MRI helps determine need for surgery in shoulder labral lesion cases
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 29 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSC10-09 | Room E451BPreoperative information provided by MRI can be useful in helping surgeons determine if surgery is needed for shoulder labral lesions, according to a paper scheduled for presentation on Monday.

Indirect MR arthrography aids adhesive capsulitis diagnosis
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 29 | 11:20 a.m.- 11:30 a.m. | SSC10-06 | Room E451BIndirect MR arthrography can aid adhesive capsulitis diagnosis by determining the thickening and enhancement of the joint capsule and synovial membrane, which are characteristic findings of the condition, according to a study to be presented on Monday.
