Magnetic resonance cholangio-pancreaticograpy (MRCP) is a non-invasive imaging modality of the pancreatico-biliary system which plays an increasingly important role in the clinical and diagnostic workup of patients with biliary or pancreatic diseases. The present review is designed to give an overview of the currently available and appropriate sequences, their technical background, as well as new developments and their relevance to the various clinical issues and challenges. The impact of the latest technical innovations, such as integrated parallel imaging techniques and navigator-based respiratory triggering, on the diagnostic capacities of MRCP is discussed. In this context, the individual value of RARE, T2w single shot turbo/fast spin echo (SSFSE) and the recently introduced 3D T2w turbo/fast spin echo sequences (T2w 3D-T/FSE) is reviewed. RARE imaging may be preferred in severely ill patients with limitations in cooperation, SSFSE is particularly effective in differentiating benign and malignant stenosis, and 3D-FSE offers additional advantages in the detection of small biliary concrements.

In neuroimaging, there is no equivalent alternative to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, image acquisitions are generally time-consuming, which may limit utilization in some cases, e.g.

Background: Preoperative prediction of extracapsular extension (ECE) of prostate cancer (PCa) is important to guide clinical decision-making and improve patient prognosis.
Purpose: To investigate the value of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI)-based peritumoral radiomics for preoperative prediction of the presence of ECE.
Study Type: Retrospective.

Purpose: To investigate the displacement forces and image artifacts associated with passive medical implants for recently-developed low-field (<100 mT) MRI systems, and to compare these with values from higher field strengths used for clinical diagnosis.
Methods: Setups were constructed to measure displacement forces in a permanent magnet-based Halbach array used for in vivo MRI at 50 mT, and results compared with measurements at 7 T. Image artifacts were assessed using turbo (fast) spin echo imaging sequences for four different passive medical implants: a septal occluder, iliac stent, pedicle screw and (ferromagnetic) endoscopic clip.

Background: To investigate the accuracy of size estimation and potential diagnosis efficacy of native T1-mapping in focal pulmonary lesion, compared to T1-star 3D-volumetric interpolated breath-hold sequence (VIBE), T2-fBLADE turbo-spin echo (TSE), and computed tomography (CT).
Methods: Thirty-nine patients with CT-detected focal pulmonary lesions underwent thoracic 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using axial free-breathing 3D T1-star VIBE, respiratory triggered T2-fBLADE TSE, breath-hold T1-Turbo fast low angle shot (FLASH) and T1-FLASH 3D.

Objective: Determine if differences in T1ρ would be detected in specific regions or layers of patellofemoral cartilage between patients with symptomatic patellofemoral pain syndrome and asymptomatic control subjects.
Materials And Methods: Ten subjects diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome were compared with ten age-, gender-, and BMI-matched control subjects with no knee pain or prior trauma. Conventional turbo (fast) spin echo sequences and T1ρ-weighted imaging were performed on the symptomatic knee in each of the ten subjects.
