Abstract

The true challenge for hospital administrators in the future will be to rethink and retool the structure of their institutions. What must they do to accommodate the hospital in a rapidly changing health care field? The author suggests a transitional planning model that will be more than an interim step. It will be the final step in a long line of planning processes.

[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.
