At present a large number of different imaging modalities compete with each other, and parallel use of such diagnostic techniques is costly and can be harmful to the patient. This book places these modalities in their appropriate position within diagnostic pathways, and outlines the recommendations for magnetic resonance which were first presented at the EMRF/WHO conference "The Impact of MRI upon the Health System" in Switzerland, 1993. Professor Rinck's evaluation offers a better understanding of MR imaging, its potential future utilization, as well as its place in the health system on a European scale.
Part 1 Medical recommendations: indications and medical strategies in brain imaging; the spine and spinal cord; ophthalmology; head and neck; magnetic resonance imaging of the mediastinum; magnetic resonance mammography; cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; magnetic resonance imaging angiography; the kidneys and the adrenals; magnetic resonance imaging of the liver; magnetic resonance imaging of the pancreas; the gastrointestinal tract; magnetic resonance imaging of the male pelvis; magnetic resonance imaging of the female pelvis; musculoskeletal applications: bone; musculoskeletal applications - soft tissue; musculoskeletal applications - joints and sports medicine; paediatric magnetic resonance imaging. Part 2 Development: dynamic contract enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging of the body; functional imaging of the human brain; magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents; hardware development; software development, three-dimensional imaging, post-processing and expert systems; planning of magnetic resonance imaging within departments of radiology. Part 3 Socioeconomic aspects: magnetic resonance imaging and socioeconomic issues; improving patient throughput in magnetic resonance imaging - a radical approach; the impact of magnetic resonance imaging on the Australian health care system; the impact of magnetic resonance imaging on the health system - Saudi Arabia and the Middle East; co-existence of wide diffusion of magnetic resonance imaging and cost containment - a case study in Japan; the politics of health care reform in the United States - implications for diagnostic imaging.
