Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) accounts for 58% of all deaths in the US, and of these CVD deaths 17% are from strokes, 53% are from coronary artery disease and 50-67% of all CVD deaths are sudden and unexpected, according to a study presented at the 2008 meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). “Several imaging modalities have been investigated for the identification of high plaques, and I will briefly comment of the major modalities and their ability to detect inflammation as a marker of plaque instability,”

Imaging of bone is challenging partly due to properties of bone tissue and there are several technical challenges for bone imaging. This study claims to overcome some of these obstacles by demonstrating that bone can be imaged with high resolution, according to a study presented at the 2008 meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). “We have demonstrated that bone can be imaged with high resolution, high SNR and high contrast on a clinical 3T scanner using UTE sequence,”
