In women at elevated familial risk, quality-assured MRI screening shifts the distribution of screen-detected breast cancers toward the preinvasive stage. In women undergoing quality-assured MRI annually, neither mammography, nor annual or half-yearly ultrasound or CBE will add to the cancer yield achieved by MRI alone.

Our data indicate that epilepsy surgery can be performed with an acceptable rate of resultant morbidity. The indications for epilepsy surgery, the learning curve determined, and the results from other series are discussed in the light of these figures.

Dual-source parallel RF excitation body MR imaging enables reduced dielectric shading, improved homogeneity of the RF magnetic induction field, and accelerated imaging at 3.0 T.
