| MRI Spinal Ligaments |
I am a graduate student conducting research on spinal ligament mechanics. I am looking for a good imaging sequence to determine the geometry of the supraspinous ligament. I am working with cadaver specimens so patient motion and scan time is of little relevance. I am just looking to get the highest resolution possible so that I can render a 3d volume of the supraspinous ligament. I am using a GE Signa HDx 3T. Thanks.

| MRI Technologist advancement opportunities |
Been an MRI tech for little over 2 years now. I also a clinical instructor for the out patient facility I work for. Although the job is not bad, I am in search of new ways or further education or certifications to advance my MRI career. I am certified with ARMRIT and it's unfortunate that they are not highly respectable organization. Due to this fact, lots of hospitals dont even bother interviewing. I know there will be others going to defend this certification, but I'm not here for a debate. I have even considered going to nursing just to feel I'm stable with my job. I'm looking for some help or advice how i can keep my skills as an MRI tech up to date with further schooling or certification. Any help would be great. I also know, with tight economy, not too many tech are moving around and there are lots of new grads stuck fighting for position. So any experts out there who can give me their two cents, I thank you.

| A great article on job hunting in the medical device industry |
Everyone is looking for work these days, and while I was job hunting I found an amazing article on how to build a good relationship with recruiters.
The original article is here
http://legacymedsearch.wordpress.com/2009/01/25/3/
But here are just a few of the tips
So here’s some tips to get your message out to your favorite recruiter(s):
1. Be succinct in communication. I do care. But if I can get a 16 second voicemail with your basic information and purpose of the call, I can get back with you faster. Name, most recent company, phone number (speak clearly and/or leave the number twice so I don’t have to replay) and purpose of the call are fine. Hopefully, you’ve checked my website and can give me the title or Job ID so we can get to the point quickly. And chances are, if you’ve been laid off, I probably already know the reason – and that it’s not a reflection on you. I understand.
2. If possible, ALWAYS “apply” online on my website for a position you’re interested in rather than asking me to look over your resume and see what I have that may be a fit. When you express an interest in a position, it “flags” one of my recruiters and puts you at the top of the heap to be contacted – generally within a day or two. If I receive a general “please let me know what you think” query, I save it for the weekend and then assign it to one of our administrative staff – and currently – as of today (January 24, 2009) there are 3291 resumes in queue for general processing. Actual number. And we can only process 100-200 per day per staff person. By applying online and telling us what you’re interested in – you’ll generally get a response (either phone or email) within a few days on most positions.
3. Look at our forum Medical Device Guru. There are nearly 5000 articles, resume tips, news stories and tons of ideas – that we update daily.
4. On that same topic, make sure your resume is pristine – and descriptive, including not only your current/most recent company and a brief description- but the website as well – embedded in your resume. If you list your company as “Tyco” or “JNJ” rather than the division or SBU, I can’t as quickly assess where we might have a spot for you. By embedding the URL that best reflects your role, or describing the functional areas of responsibility you managed, my staff and I can have a greater understanding of your career relative to your total organization.
5. Be generous in recommending other people to us if a position we present to you is not a fit. If it’s a confidential referral, we will honor that. Interestingly, you should know that the single biggest referral source I have for the most senior level positions that I typical work on – is YOUR BOSS. Of course, I can’t tell you this, but more often than not, if you’re talented, but have no room for promotion in your current organization, your boss will confidentially share your name. There’s a lot of good people in medical – and it’s such a small world, is it not?
7. It’s OK to “touch base” every week or so if you’re in active consideration for a position and haven’t heard anything. We’re not perfect and sometimes things DO fall through the cracks – especially when the hiring manager is taking a few weeks to set up interviews because he/she is working 70 hours+ per week and doing three jobs – or has lost admin help – or is travelling. We do try to communicate the process, but so much of it is out of our control. By the same token, give us a little breathing room. Noone want to place you more than WE do.
8. Do your homework once we have an interview scheduled for you. While we will do a verbal prep with you and send you materials on our client, you can increase your odds by doing your own homework on the company. We’ve created the Interview Prep Guide for Medical Device Careers as a help – it’s 24 pages packed with medical career interviewing ideas. And its free.
Finally, every day – many times a day – I get asked how the job market looks – quick answer – it’s very strong in many niches within medical device. The smaller companies seem hungry to add top talent and even some of our Fortune 500 clients are planning responsible additions in Q1. Frankly, no company is going to grow without smart, dedicated, and creative talent to weather the next few quarters. While Legacy MedSearch is but one executive search company (and there are alot of great companies like ours), we had a 40% growth last year and are already ahead of plan for 2009 as of May with a week left to go. My guess is that we’ll place 4 people again this month and at least as many in June
I really hope one of those people – is you.

I recently found this interview guide that might help you out when you find a potential employer. Also, the website it came from (Legacy MedSearch) is a recruitment agency that works exclusively in emerging medical technology. I hope this helps!

| Feridex/endorem and bone MRI |
Some experiments with superparamagnetic contrast agents such as Feridex/Endorem with labeled cells showed a black appearance on T2 weighted sequences, which was easy to see. The less dominant T1 effect, bright on T1 weighted images was more subtle. (I found this also interesting http://www.nature.com/nm/journal/v7/n11/full/nm1101-1241.html and the article 'MR and iron magnetic nanoparticles. Imaging opportunities in preclinical and translational research' on http://www.tumorionline.it/cerca.php )
