Abstract

The number-one job of healthcare chief executive officer is to be the standard bearer for quality healthcare delivery, says the top man of the Chicago-based Lutheran General Health Care System, an extensive multicorporate health organization. As long as the CEO remains vigilant and personally responsible for quality at his or her institution, quality management cannot become just a passing fad.

[Whole body MRI--diagnostic strategy of the future?].

Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) opens new opportunities in diagnostic radiology as systemic disease entities can be examined with high sensitivity. This can lead to a change of paradigm, so that not only organ-related but rather disease-specific MRI examination protocols can be applied which focus on the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. Whole body MRI has already been successfully used for several oncological and non-oncological indications. In addition, whole body MRI has broadened the discussion regarding its use for secondary prevention. Compared to computed tomography, MRI does not use radiation. Although whole body MRI is still in an early stage, the enormous medical and economical potential can be envisioned.
