Photon-counting detector CT: a disrupting innovation in medical imaging

The thematic series “Photon-counting detector CT: a disrupting innovation in medical imaging” is currently open for further submissions on this topic. The guest editors, Akos Varga-Szemes (Charleston/US) and Tilman Emrich (Mainz/Germany) are looking forward to receiving your contribution.

Featured Article: Quantitative brain T1 maps derived from T1-weighted MRI acquisitions: a proof-of-concept study

Lavielle, A., Pinaud, N., Zhang, B. et al. (2024)

A phantom, composed of 144 solutions of paramagnetic agents at different concentrations, was imaged with a 3D T1-weighed TSE sequence. T1 mapping derived from 3D T1-weighted TSE acquisitions in four healthy volunteers and one patient with brain metastases were established and compared to reference T1 mapping technique. The concentration of Gd-based contrast agents in brain metastases was assessed. Based on the phantom acquisition, the relationship between T1 values and SI was defined. TSE-derived T1 values measured in white and gray matter in healthy volunteers were obtained. Mean Gd3+ concentration in brain metastases was 94.7 ± 30.0 μM. The in vivo results support the hypothesis that brain T1 maps can be derived from T1-weighted acquisitions.

CALL FOR PAPERS: 7-Tesla neuro MRI: from research to clinic

Following the  success of the first thematic series entitled “Myocardial tissue characterization in ischemic heart disease”, European Radiology Experimental is now launching its second series, this time putting special focus on “7-tesla neuro MRI: from research to clinic”.

The guest editors of this thematic series, Professors Luca Roccatagliata (Genoa/Italy) and Mirco Cosottini (Pisa/Italy), have carefully curated three articles that describe the state of the art of ultra-high field MRI neuroimaging studies with related clinical applications, and have contributed to the series by providing an insightful editorial of their own.

This is the second thematic series launched by European Radiology Experimental which is now open for further submissions on this topic! You can access all articles and learn more about this thematic series here.

Aims and scope

European Radiology Experimental is a fully open access official journal of the European Society of Radiology. Its mission is to adhere to the multidisciplinary paradigm of the 21st century, fostering a strong connection between radiology in the experimental setting and basic science. Research on phantom studies, cell models and radiobiology, animal models, new modalities/techniques (e.g., MR sequences or spectral CT applications, molecular, hybrid, and optical imaging), novel contrast materials, tracers, and probes are welcome. Other topics fully considered are: 3D-modelling, printing, and simulation; advanced teleradiology (e.g., virtual physician-patient interaction); novel image reconstruction algorithms and post-processing.
