The nation's most prestigious medical schools and teaching hospitals like the idea of comprehensive health care reform. And little wonder: Thanks to aggressive lobbying and some powerful friends, they seem to have gotten just about everything on their wish list--and then some--in the leading reform plans now under consideration on Capitol Hill.

Purpose: To prospectively evaluate the efficacy of a new three-dimensional gradient-echo sequence (Turbo LAVA) that uses undersampled k-space acquisition combined with a two-dimensional parallel imaging technique for hepatobiliary MRI.

Materials And Methods: Sixty patients underwent T1-weighted gadoxetic acid-enhanced hepatobiliary axial MRI during a single breath-hold using both Turbo LAVA (thickness/interval=1.6/0.

Rapid whole-brain magnetic resonance imaging with isotropic resolution at 3 Tesla.

Invest Radiol

Department of Radiology, Evanston Northwestern Healthcare, Evanston, IL 60201, USA.

Isotropic imaging offers the potential of improving lesion detection and imaging efficiency by enabling orthogonal image reformations without loss of spatial resolution. However, lengthy scan times for T1-weighted isotropic data acquisitions have been an impediment to the routine clinical application of this approach. We tested the feasibility of using the improved signal-to-noise ratio at 3 Tesla to perform rapid, whole-brain T1-weighted imaging with isotropic 0.

Introduction: Anatomically guided left atrial ablation is used increasingly for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Three-dimensional mapping systems used for pulmonary veins (PV) encircling ablation procedures anticipate a stable size and position of the PV orifice. The aim of the current study was therefore to analyze changes of PV orifice size and location throughout the cardiac cycle using cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
