Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a sub-speciality that presents many challenging scenarios, no matter your clinical background. For this reason, CMR is not only an incredibly interesting imaging modality to work in but also hugely rewarding. Since I began my journey in CMR some 16 years ago, I have witnessed the MRI scanner benefit […]

The chest x-ray (CXR) is as old as x-rays themselves, and with modern techniques is fast and easy to perform. It is regarded as the most commonly performed radiographic examination and is statistically the most frequently requested imaging test in the UK. In many patients it provides the earliest opportunity for diagnosing various pathologies of […]

The aim of this article is to provide a structured approach for detecting and interpreting common pathologies involving the meninges. It is important to understand meningeal anatomy, the relationship of the meninges to the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and the effect of the MRI protocol on the normal enhancement characteristics of the meninges to accurately diagnose […]
