José Vilar and Friends Case 13 (Update: Solution!)
Dear friends,
You did a great job with case 12. Here is our next case, to confirm or prove your diagnostic abilities.
This is a 53 year old woman that had a chest radiographic study for suspicion of respiratory infection.
Let us see what diagnostic possibilities you suggest.

José Vilar and Friends Case 11 (Update: Solution!)
Dear Friends,
This time I have the privilege to count with the help of Dr. Lucía Flors, and Dr. Jeff Kuni from the Department of Radiology, University of Missouri, Columbia.
Dr. Flors was a brilliant radiology resident not long ago at Hospital Universitario Dr. Peset.
Lucía and Jeff have lots of interesting cases and, to prove it, here is one of them.

These radiographs belong to a one-year old child with suspected respiratory infection.
Cochlear Implants & MRI Safety
This is a guest article from MED-EL, the innovation leader in hearing implants.
You don’t want to have to turn a patient away from an MRI scan. But active medical implants, such as pacemakers or cochlear implants, can make MRI scans challenging.
Many implants are associated with risks during MRI, even if they are “MR Conditional”. This can be especially challenging in real-world settings, because “MR Conditional” only means that there are conditions and restrictions, without letting you know how to proceed or how likely it is that your patient will have a safe, comfortable MRI scan.
However, it’s important to understand that not all implants are created equal—especially when it comes to MRI safety.
Today, we’re going to take an in-depth look at why a design issue causes complications with certain cochlear implants. Then we’ll look at why magnet technology makes all the difference with a whole range of hearing implants designed specifically for MRI safety.
