Smash, flash, steam, blast, burst-MRI serves up endless innovation
There is one central fact to which I owe my career, as do many of us in this room: that is the wondrous and mysterious fact that magnetic resonance never seems to be done.
"There is one central fact to which I owe my career, as do many of us in this room: that is the wondrous and mysterious fact that magnetic resonance never seems to be done. No matter how much we think we know, no matter how much we are convinced we are converging toward consensus, there is always something new lurking in the shadows.
"As we all know, MR operates on one of nature's simplest quantum mechanical systems: a two-state system in its most basic guise. But somehow, this rudimentary system not only manages to suffer all the indignities we think to impose on it-SMASH, FLASH, STEAM, BLAST, BURST-but also offers up time and again new information to enlighten us and aid our patients.
"In the words of one of my favorite obscure wordsmiths, Samuel Bowditch, 'There is in this earth no maneuver more unnerving than the spin. Just when one thinks to have advanced into the twilight, dawn comes around again.'"

Can Generative AI Facilitate Simulated Contrast Enhancement for Prostate MRI?
January 14th 2025Deep learning synthesis of contrast-enhanced MRI from non-contrast prostate MRI sequences provided an average multiscale structural similarity index of 70 percent with actual contrast-enhanced prostate MRI in external validation testing from newly published research.
Can MRI Have an Impact with Fertility-Sparing Treatments for Endometrial and Cervical Cancers?
January 9th 2025In a literature review that includes insights from recently issued guidelines from multiple European medical societies, researchers discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in facilitating appropriate patient selection for fertility-sparing treatments to address early-stage endometrial and cervical cancer.
Surveillance Breast MRI Associated with Lower Risks of Advanced Second Breast Cancers
January 8th 2025After propensity score matching in a study of over 3,000 women with a personal history of breast cancer, researchers found that surveillance breast MRI facilitated a 59 percent lower risk in advanced presentations of second breast cancers.
New Survey Explores Radiologist and Neurologist Comfort Level with AI Triage for Brain MRI
January 7th 2025Survey results revealed that 71 percent of clinicians preferred adjunctive AI in facilitating triage of brain MRI scans and 58 percent were comfortable utilizing AI triage without input from radiologists.
