Nurturing ideas to harvest future technologies
Welcome to the autumn edition of SIGNA™ Pulse of MR. Whilst I feel that time has flown rapidly since the previous edition in the spring, I am reassured by the fact that I have at least been guest editor longer than a certain UK Prime Minister has held office. I hope that you all managed to get some time for rest and recuperation over the summer and are now enjoying the harvest season. This edition showcases how many MR centers are reaping the rewards of GE Healthcare’s careful nurturing of ideas and their growth into the latest MR technologies.
