Article: Recent findings in radiology described by researchers from Johns Hopkins University.

According to recent research from the United States, "We prospectively evaluated the feasibility and technical properties of a dedicated interventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging protocol for near-real-time MR fluoroscopy-guided bilateral lumbar facet joint injections. A total of 44 facet joint injections were performed in 22 patients using a C-shaped open 0.2-T MR imaging system (Magnetom Concerto, Siemens Medical Solutions, Erlangen, Germany)."

"A T1/T2*-weighted fast-imaging-with-steady-precession (FISP) sequence with an end-to-end latency of 1.2 s facilitated sufficient near real-time MR imaging guidance in all cases. A T1-weighted two dimensional ...
