REVIEWS AND COMMENTARY:Back

   Editorials:Back

John M. Boone

To remain masters of this technology, radiologists need to (a) know when to use it and when not to, (b) be conversant and knowledgeable about radiation risk issues, and (c) develop radically new interpretation practices that will improve the diagnostic accuracy of every CT examination.

   Special Review:Back

J. Paul Finn, Kambiz Nael, Vibhas Deshpande, Osman Ratib, and Gerhard Laub

Important tools for today's cardiac MR imager include (a) fast, high-spatial-resolution, steady-state techniques for cine imaging and coronary angiography; (b) dependable techniques for T1-weighted imaging of contrast material–avid myocardial scar; (c) fast techniques to capture the first pass of intravenous contrast material through the heart; and (d) the option to apply parallel imaging to all of the above.

   Breast Imaging:Back

Wendie A. Berg, Jeffrey D. Blume, Jean B. Cormack, and Ellen B. Mendelson

By using a standardized scanning protocol and interpretive criteria, we found that fewer than half of lesions 5.0 mm or smaller were detected, detection of lesions 5.1–11.0 mm in mean diameter was variable, and detection of lesions larger than 11.0 mm was reliable; high reliability was demonstrated for reporting lesion size and location, as was moderate agreement for lesion management with physician-performed whole-breast US.
