Omniscan Distribution Rate
I was told by the GE rep that Omniscan has a faster distribution rate, that should lend itself to better images/application to specific technologies. Is this claim valid? This is the first I've heard of this type "spin" on contrast agents. <pun intended>

In my experience, I have not seen much difference in image quality from various contrast agents. Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated.

ARMRIT??
Just so you know.....
ARRT is now going to certify non RT
applicants. If they have the qualifications that is.
Another Proud ARMRIT looking to the future.
P.S. I work at Long Beach Memorial Hospital, so, there
is hope.

Help Please
Dear Mr. Kareem Badr:

I am flattered by your comments and appreciate your interest in our exciting MRI field.

To put a simple answer to your question, "are MRI units specialized for certain applications?" Usually the answer would be no.

Imaging techniques like Cardiac, Angiography, etc. are options that can be purchased on MRI systems. From a purely sales and marketing perspective MRI system are designed with a basic package that can perform the standard MRI imaging techniques. From there, additional packages and options can be added to "upgrade" the capabilities of the scanner.

While there are a few "niche" scanners on the market that are limited to one, or to just a few techniques, for example breast imaging. Most scanners are capable, with enhancements and upgrades, of performing most imaging techniques.

Now with that said, even though all scanners are capable of running most imaging techniques, it is also important to note that some scanners may be better at a particular technique, while maybe not as good at another technique. Personal opinions and biases can create heated debates as to which systems are better for each technique. As with any other modality, there are positives and negatives with all of the scanners.

Finally, to answer your question on applications and the units that can perform the techniques, this would be a long, detailed list. What I would suggest is that you visit the websites of the major MRI manufacturers. All of the information you would need will be at these websites. I have provided website addresses of the major OEM's and additional manufacturers that design and sell MRI systems below:

1) GE Medical: http://www.gehealthcare.com/usen/index.html
2) Siemens Medical: http://www.medical.siemens.com
3) Toshiba Medical: http://medical.toshiba.com/
4) Philips Medical: http://www.medical.philips.com/index.html
5) Hitachi Medical: http://www.hitachimed.com/
6) Fonar: http://www.fonar.com/
7) Aurora Imaging: http://www.auroramri.com/
8) Magnevu: http://www.mri4ra.com/
9) Odin Medical: http://www.odinmed.com/newSite/index.html
10) Millennium: http://www.millennium.ca/medical/medical.html
11) ONI Medical: http://www.onicorp.com/website/index.htm
12) Esaote: http://www.esaote.com/products/MRI/products1.htm
13) DigiMRI: http://www.digimri.com/
14) Bruker: http://www.bruker.de/

Good luck in your research, and once again I appreciate your interest.

Help Please
Dear Dr.Dan McGuan;
I’m Kareem Badr from Egypt, Cairo University, faculty of Engineering Systems and biomedical Engineering department.

Actually I have to make a technical report about MRI and really I need your help, so could please help me!

I want to ask if the MRI units are specialized for certain applications only, i.e. is Cardiac MRI
used for cardiac applications only?

If yes, could you please tell me all the applications and the units used
For example
Angiography MRI
Cardiac MRI
.
.
.
etc

Thanks so much, and sorry for the long mail
Waiting for your reply

Kareem Badr

Does anyone remember how to shim for silicon on numaris?

I am having trouble with breast implants, I do not know how to adjust center frequency for proper shimming of water and silicon.

Some images look like saline and some look like silicon.

Old machine and do not have accsess to applications. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
