To alleviate this and reduce anesthesia use, Danish radiologists helped develop an app that educates children about their pending experience, according to a study presented on Thursday at ECR 2018.

Video from ECR 2018: Alexander Radbruch on gadolinium retention

The 10-minute abdominal MRI scan: Can it become reality?
By Frances Rylands-Monk
While MRI is sensitive and specific for liver imaging, the time required for a thorough exam often means that radiologists opt for CT due to quicker results and fewer artifacts. But what if the usual 30-minute MRI could be reduced to 10 minutes? Would that sway doctors to send patients for an MRI more often? Experts at today's session on making the 10-minute MRI exam a reality believe that it would.

Safety issues linger over gadolinium-based contrast agents
By Katrina Megget
Conclusive research into the safety of gadolinium-based contrast agents could take about a decade to emerge because of the huge difficulties of obtaining enough valuable and objective data. In the meantime, radiologists will be dependent on newly released guidelines from the world's health watchdogs and other reports, ECR 2018 delegates will learn at today's Special Focus Session.

German survey puts focus back on incidental findings
By Frances Rylands-Monk
The results from a new survey by German researchers underline that study participants appreciate learning about incidental findings and have triggered improved standardization of incidental finding reporting in a large national cohort. These findings are likely to be frequently observed in population-based imaging, so more research is needed on tools to optimize reporting efficiency, they noted.
