Currently, patients with lower back pain must undergo an invasive procedure known as provocative discography to help determine where the pain comes from. A die is injected into the disk via [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=maribeladame.com&amp;blog=8878302&amp;post=146&amp;subd=maribeladame&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having your patients hold their breath properly during a MR or CT scan is always a challenge, especially when your patients are infants. Mueller et al. have come up with a simple volume-monitored (VM) method for performing reproducible, motion-free full inspiratory and end expiratory chest CT examinations in children. They tested the method on fifty-two [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=maribeladame.com&amp;blog=8878302&amp;post=144&amp;subd=maribeladame&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On January, the 8th, an article appeared in Diagnostic Imaging, which analyzes the safety issues concerning whole-body airport scanners.
