Abstract:
The rapid evolution of MR scanners and pulse sequence design brings an ever-expanding arsenal of diagnostic tools to radiology departments. However, this increasing abundance of diagnostic tools accentuates the challenge of using new technology efficiently and wisely-that is, to employ what may help diagnosis and/or management, but discards what has a poor likelihood of aiding patient care. This article aims to highlight practical points regarding MR pulse sequences for the evaluation of common emergencies in body imaging through case examples.

MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
