  • This year’s annual meeting of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine took place in Stockholm. As of May 1st through May 7th, speeches and poster presentations were held and discussed. The study group open MRI was represented by Ulf Teichgräber, Jens Rump, Felix Güttler and Christian Seebauer, who presented the group’s findings and innovations. The pros and cons of various field strengths and bore configurations of different interventional MRI systems were controversially discussed in the forum of the “Interventional MRI Study Group”. Ulf Teichgräber represented our study group with the open high-field MRI (1 Tesla). His counterparts were...0May 18, 2010

  • The Philips Panorama HFO (high-field open) allows diagnostics and applications which are only possible in a conventional tunnel system with considerable restrictions. And thus, the number of installed Panorama Systems is continuously growing. To illustrate the many possible applications of the HFO system, an international Panorama user conference will be held in Berlin on October 6th and 7th this fall. The symposium will offer an opportunity to exchange experiences between the users and shall introduce and inspire new clinical applications. Presentations will be held in English on almost all major fields of MRI diagnostics. The diagnostic part of the program...0August 12, 2009

  • One year after the first MR-guided Laser ablation of an osteid osteoma at the Charité Berlin (Link), the method is now established in clinical routine. In the last 12 months, a total of 10 ablations of osteid osteomas have been performed in the open MRI of the Charité Mitte. Especially young patients benefit from the radiation-free treatment method and an in-patient stay of merely 24-48h. All treated patients are now free of pain symptoms. For the 10th ablation, a new OR set-up of the open MRI, which is currently being developed, could be applied. An additional, larger real-time monitor and...0June 17, 2009

  • With great interest for the scientific developments and the economic impulses of these innovations for our project partners in Berlin, the state secretary Almuth Nehring-Venus (Senate department for economy, technology and women) paid the open MRI and the study group a visit. Especially those projects funded by the Berlin Zukunftsfonds were discussed. Moreover, positive economic and scientific effects of the project on the health infrastructure of Berlin were elaborated. The scientific and economic success of the completed sub-projects is primarily attributable to their interdisciplinary structure and the highly efficient cooperation between the specialized small local business partners and the University...
