SCIENCE TO PRACTICE:

Diana Lindquist: Is There a Role for MR Imaging in Monitoring Gene Therapy Response?
The promise of T1 relaxation in the rotating frame imaging is that it represents another MR modality that can be used to detect nonspecific early treatment response and that can then be combined with other techniques, such as MR spectroscopic imaging or PET, to provide localized mechanistic information about treatment response.

Brian C. Lentle, Roberta E. Arnold, Gary J. Becker, R. Nick Bryan, Peggy J. Fritzsche, David H. Hussey For the Trustees of the RSNA Research and Education Foundation: What We Do Not Yet Know in the Radiologic Sciences
Perhaps it will be more important, however, if the list makes each of us take stock of what we do, how we might do it better, and what potential each of us has to advance radiologic science either at the bench or in our support for research—both in our individual departments and in the societies we support.

Richard W. Katzberg and Brendan J. Barrett: Risk of Iodinated Contrast Material–induced Nephropathy with Intravenous Administration
The apparently lower risk of contrast material (CM)-induced nephropathy associated with intravenous CM administration in clinical settings such as contrast-enhanced multidetector CT makes it defensible to consider using CM even in patients with greater levels of background risk factors (eg, greater degrees of preexisting chronic renal insufficiency) than one would be comfortable with in the intraarterial setting, as long as there is a clear indication for the diagnostic examination.

Richard B. Gunderman and Brandon P. Brown: Pandemic Influenza
It is vital that radiologists clearly understand the nature of a potential influenza pandemic, do our part in helping to formulate strategies for prevention and response, and consider the ethical implications of the countermeasures and resource allocation decisions that would be involved.

Evidence-based Radiology Series:

Edwin J. R. van Beek and Dermot E. Malone: Evidence-based Practice in Radiology Education: Why and How Should We Teach It?
It appears that evidence-based practice in radiology can be introduced into the curriculum, and early suggestions are that this will improve understanding, self-directed critical thinking, and ultimately, perhaps, the potential number of residents choosing career paths with an academic dimension; these developments are, it is suggested, essential for the optimal development of radiology as a whole.

Review:

S. William Stavropoulos and Sridhar R. Charagundla: Imaging Techniques for Detection and Management of Endoleaks after Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair
The important components of imaging surveillance after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair include (a) measurement of aneurysm size and identification of substantial changes in aneurysm dimensions; (b) detection and, if possible, characterization of an endoleak; and (c) detection of mechanical changes in the stent-graft, including migration, kinking, and fracture.

James H. Thrall: Teleradiology • Part I. History and Clinical Applications
Several factors—including the prevailing shortage of radiologists, the increasing use of advanced imaging methods, the consolidation of hospitals into regional delivery systems, and heightened expectations of patients and referring physicians for timely service—have fostered the increasing use of teleradiology.

The data presented here demonstrate that the simultaneous operation of two x-ray sources need not contribute to an increase in the dose for electrocardiographically gated cardiac CT examinations; rather, the doses from electrocardiographically gated coronary CT angiographic examinations of equivalent noise can be reduced by up to a factor of two relative to single-source multi–detector row CT, depending on the heart rate of the patient.
