By Shalmali Pal
SAN FRANCISCO - Whether they travel a few blocks or several miles, most patients would prefer to avoid multiple visits to various physicians.

Beyond ischemia, dobutamine stress MRI predicts major cardiac events
By Shalmali Pal
SAN FRANCISCO - Using dobutamine stress MRI (DSMR) to detect myocardial ischemia in coronary artery disease is hardly a new-fangled technique.

Study questions PFO and cerebral damage link in scuba divers
By Shalmali Pal
An ongoing debate in the scuba diving community involves people who have never suffered from type II decompression sickness, but who may still be at risk for cerebral damage because of "silent" gas embolisms. Previous studies have found that divers with patent foramen ovale are at a greater risk for gas embolisms. However, an MR study by researchers in Germany finds the risk may have been overstated.
