Advances in MRI Application – Petaling Jaya, 28 July 2006

by Dr Evelyn Ho

Prof Dr Mathias Goyen, Assoc Professor of Radiology at the University Medical Centre Hamburg Eppendorf
Ms Marivic B. Santos-Sata, MR Modality Manager of Siemens Medical Solutions, Singapore

Close to 100 people comprising radiologists, radiographers and medical physicists attended an evening series of lectures organised by the College of Radiology and sponsored by Siemens/Meditel Electronics. The topics were Whole Body Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging & Clinical Applications; Contrast-Enhanced 3D MR Angiography and New Sequences in MR Imaging. 

Dr Mathias Goyen, Associate Professor of Radiology at the University Medical Centre Hamburg Eppendorf was the key speaker. His research interests were in all aspects of MRI including whole body MRI. An example of where whole body MRI was very useful would be to see the tumour load in bone metastases. 

Prof Goyen in his enlightening lectures tinged with humour, including his experience on using whole body MRI in preventative medicine where healthy asymptomatic people were screened. The “sickness” business was big business but was a reactive business. The wellness business was proactive. In Germany, screening with MRI was packaged with a physical check up, laboratory tests and supplemented with ultrasound and others investigations if necessary. It was a personalized service for every individual. 

Ms Marivic Santos-Sata then took the audience on the tour through the evolvement of MR Sequences from 1977 to date. Technological improvements have made the image produced better, enable imaging even with less than cooperative patients (movement), improvements in diagnosing acute bleeding in the brain and allowed faster imaging (important for imaging in children and also for patients in pain!). So now it was possible to do more, do it faster and with greater diagnostic confidence.
