MR Imaging of Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radical Prostatectomy
Author: Klaus Kubin, MD
Radical prostatectomy (RPE) is the most common treatment option for prostate cancer, especially in early stage disease. Retropubic prostatectomy, transperineal prostatectomy, laparoscopic prostatectomy, and robotic prostatectomy are surgical techniques that are available as potential cures... Read more...

Cardiac MRI for morphology and function
Author: Hermann Eichstädt MD, Thomas Störk MD
Recent advances in technology and sequencing have led to a great expansion in the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to include not only the study of cardiac morphology and the imaging of infarcts, but also diagnosis of other coronary artery disease... Read more...
Whole-body MRI
Author: Susanne C. Ladd
This article discusses recent developments in whole body magnetic resonance imaging (wb-MRI) and its clinical indications. Improvements in hardware, such as extended table translation, and a high number of simultaneous receiver channels are prerequisites for wb-MRI. Generally, two different strategies can be followed: multi-station wb-MRI and data acquisition during continuous table movement, both permitting a variety of different sequences and contrasts.
