Science to Practice:Back

Timothy J. Mosher

With the continuing development of new disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs directed toward suppressing synovial macrophage activity, the ability to noninvasively detect and monitor synovial macrophage content has high clinical and research importance.

Perspectives:Back

James H. Thrall

It is likely that in the age of heightened quality expectations, the most successful health care organizations will be those that see their own quality and safety programs as important and not simply as necessary to comply with the expectations of regulators and watchers.

Because of the promising results of this study, we are convinced that whole-body MR imaging with use of a rolling table platform in conjunction with fast T2-weighted turbo spin-echo and three-dimensional gradient-echo sequences is a time-saving and accurate alternative to conventional multimodality evaluation of patients with tumors for metastases.
