Imagining what’s next in MR
As the 2020 Guest Editor, it is my honor and privilege to introduce to you the latest issue of SIGNA™ Pulse of MR. During this unprecedented time with the COVID-19 pandemic, I hope everyone in our global MR community is staying safe and healthy. As important, I want to thank our front-line healthcare heroes who are caring for coronavirus patients and remember those we’ve sadly lost to this terrible virus.
