Preop MRI reliable for soft-tissue necrosis in hip patients
By Wayne Forrest
Wednesday, November 28 | 11:00 a.m.-11:10 a.m. | SSK10-04 | Room E451APreoperative MRI using metal artifact suppression parameters can visualize extra-articular fluid collection, and is a reliable modality to show soft-tissue necrosis in patients presenting for additional surgery following primary total hip arthroplasty with metal-on-metal components, according to researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital.

MRI evaluates sports hernia with an eye toward prevention
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 26 | 11:40 a.m.-11:50 a.m. | SSC10-08 | Room E450BU.S. football players are prone to some serious injuries, including athletic pubalgia -- commonly known as sports hernia -- which can obviously hinder their productivity. Researchers from Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals will discuss how MRI can help in a scientific session on Monday.

Rib suppression algorithm enables better chest x-ray imaging
By Brian Casey
Monday, November 26 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSC14-01 | Room S403AThe increasing use of digital radiography has given rise to a host of image processing techniques that can improve image quality and reduce dose. In this Monday morning presentation, researchers report on one such algorithm, which suppresses contrast from the ribs to enable the use of a more optimal imaging protocol.
