Diagnostic performance of fast brain MRI compared to routine clinical MRI in patients with glioma grade 3 and 4 -a pilot study.

Background And Purpose: EPIMix is a fast brain MRI technique not previously investigated in patients with glioma grades 3 and 4. This pilot study aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of EPIMix in the radiological treatment evaluation of adult patients with glioma grades 3 and 4 compared to routine clinical MRI (rcMRI).

Materials And Methods: Patients with glioma grades 3 and 4 investigated with rcMRI and EPIMix were retrospectively included in the study.

Two years of neurosurgical intraoperative MRI in Sweden - evaluation of use and costs.

Background: The current shortage of radiology staff in healthcare provides a challenge for departments all over the world. This leads to more evaluation of how the radiology resources are used and a demand to use them in the most efficient way. Intraoperative MRI is one of many recent advancements in radiological practice.
