Abstract

In this essay the author makes predictions on how the future of MRI will develop for the short term, the intermediate term, and the long term; these periods of time are defined as the present to the next 3 years, 3 to 5 years, and beyond 5 years, respectively. For each time period, general scientific trends and specific applications are presented. Despite about 15 years of extensive scientific research and significant application to clinical imaging, there continue to be many opportunities for additional technical development in MRI as its role in clinical use and the extent of its scientific significance expand.

[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.
