Their results demonstrate the ability to identify the ischemic and putatively infarcted regions before therapy, to institute therapy in a model that compares thrombolytic agents, and to document the response and complication rates.

Joseph C. Wu, Frank M. Bengel, and Sanjiv S. Gambhir

By using standard anatomic imaging modalities combined with molecular imaging technologies such as SPECT and PET, we now have the potential to detect disease processes at the anatomic, physiologic, metabolic, and molecular levels and, thereby, allow (a) earlier detection of diseases, (b) objective monitoring of therapies, and (c) better prognostication of disease progression.

Breast imaging fellowship programs should embrace MR as a natural component of the contemporary breast imaging armamentarium and train breast radiologists to become competent MR users—only as far as breast imaging is concerned, but in the broadest sense of the word.
