MultiBand SENSE widens possibilities for fMRI and dMRI in brain
MultiBand SENSE can now accelerate functional and diffusion imaging without compromising image quality. It uses multi-band excitation to acquire multiple slices simultaneously, and reconstruct the individual slices using sensitivity encoding.

MRI of patients with MR Conditional cardiac devices
Cardiac pacemakers and ICDs used to be contraindicated for MRI. Today however, active cardiac implants are often labeled MR Conditional, which means that a patient can undergo MRI under certain conditions.

MR-only simulation for radiotherapy planning
This white paper describes the MRCAT (Magnetic Resonance
for Calculating ATtenuation) solution for an MR-only based dose
planning approach for external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). Prostate was chosen as the first application for the MR-only simulation.

The next generation fat free imaging
The basic concepts of mDIXON are introduced and related to other Dixon-based techniques. It is discussed how mDIXON improves overall imaging performance and what benefits of mDIXON XD are, that take mDIXON imaging to the next level of image quality and diagnostic confidence.

Distortion-free diffusion imaging with TSE
Diffusion TSE provides high quality DWI in challenging areas such as the skull base, the inner ear and the head/neck area. As TSE sequences are inherently less sensitive to susceptibility differences, TSE-based diffusion can be a good alternative for these areas.
