Using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) researchers have shown for the first time that MR imaging can be used to assess neoadjuvant treatment response before surgery for rectal cancer. The researchers concluded that MRI may also be used to predict overall and disease-free survival in ...

Southeast Alabama Medical Center (SAMC), in Dothan, Alabama, announced that it has received a 3 year accreditation in MRI from the American College of Radiology (ACR).
