Optimizing joint imaging: MR imaging techniques

European Radiology
G AdamR W Günther

Abstract

For optimizing MR imaging of the joints, a sophisticated knowledge of MR system hard- and software conditions and coil technologies, sequence and contrast preparation techniques, and the use of paramagnetic contrast agents is necessary. This review article discusses the basic principles of the appropriate use of surface coils as well as the different conventional and fast imaging sequences, including three-dimensional (3D) MR imaging. In addition, the applications of contrast agents as well as the most important contrast preparation techniques are reviewed.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
