PET/MRI support grows, but jury's still out on its clinical value
It remains to be seen whether the combination of MRI and PET will overtake the more established PET/CT, but specialists at King's College London see the emerging hybrid imaging system as a powerful new tool in evaluating disease. They think the coupling of the two techniques could be part of a "paradigm shift" in cancer imaging, and in the future it may play a central role in diagnosing and treating neurological and cardiac diseases.

MR fingerprinting turns radiologists into detectives
Early tests on brain cancer patients show significant promise for the use of MR fingerprinting to produce previously unattainable quantitative information in a short time, according to Dr. Siegfried Trattnig of the Medical University of Vienna, where new research on 10 volunteers has been carried out since ECR 2015.

Industry must act to overcome artifacts and distortions
Hybrid imaging systems provide powerful tools for the detection and surveillance of disease, but manufacturers have been slow to provide the software that can help physicians recognize and interpret artifacts, a leading pioneer in the field believes.
