A brief and hopefully final private equity in radiology post for now. I assure you no one starts a blog during their first year of medical school in 2009 and says, one day I hope to p**s on organized medicine and large corporations as a hobby forever. With that said… § The ACR runs a large and presumably quite profitable job forum. (I believe they outsource its management to a third-party company, but it’s on their website, and their branding is all over it.

The cycling of water across membrane transporters is an hallmark of the cell metabolism and is potentially of high diagnostic significance for the characterization of tumors and other diseases. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, an Italian research team has now introduced a new MRI-based method for assessing this water exchange. By this method, they were able to estimate the degree of malignancy and the success of treatments in mice tumor models.
