Dear Women’s Imaging Insider,
When it comes to e-posters at top radiological congresses, Spanish presenters have excelled over recent years. They’ve scooped numerous awards at ECR, RSNA, and other international meetings, underlining just how much research quality has improved in Spain during the past decade or more.
The latest poster to capture our attention comes from Pamplona. The authors provide a timely and practical overview of contrast-enhanced mammography. Find out more in today’s top story.
In other news, a team from Nijmegen, the Netherlands, has conducted a comprehensive survey of patient and staff attitudes to digital breast tomosynthesis. Their findings are extremely positive, particularly on patients’ perceptions of pain and discomfort.
The third breast imaging article posted this week is about another topical issue: how to boost screening attendance rates for non-Western immigrant women. Investigators from Norway have shared their experiences.
In the U.K., a lively debate is underway about whether male mammographers should be allowed to perform breast screening exams. The Society of Radiographers has made its position clear. Check out our report.
Finally, the Spanish Society of Medical Radiology (SERAM) has issued a statement on the role of MRI in the diagnosis of endometriosis. Dr. Rosa Viguer from Valencia has given her own opinions on this subject.
