The purpose of our retrospective study was to determine the feasibility and efficacy of the endovascular embolization of peripheral acute arterial hemorrhage using Onyx. ⋯ We conclude that transcatheter embolization with the new liquid embolic agent Onyx is technically feasible and effective in patients with acute arterial hemorrhage.

Approximately 4000 volunteers will undergo whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) within the next 3 years in the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP). Here we present a pilot study conducted (a) to determine the feasibility of adding a WB-MRI protocol to a large-scale population-based study, (b) to evaluate the reliability of standardized MRI interpretation, and (c) to establish an approach for handling pathological findings. ⋯ The preliminary results presented here indicate that a large prospective, population-based study using WB-MRI is feasible and that the results of image analysis are reproducible. A variety of positive findings provide valuable information regarding disease prevalence in a general adult population.
