Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
The word “multitalented” most definitely applied to Prof. Barry Kelly. He was not only a respected clinical radiologist but also a pioneer in training, education, quality, and standards. Outside of radiology, he was known for his public speaking and writing skills.
Not surprisingly, our tribute to Prof. Kelly is by far this week’s most-read article. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but based on what his friends and colleagues have told me about him, he will be deeply missed by many people.
Stay alert when it comes to hydrophilic polymer embolization. That’s the central message of a group of European interventional radiology (IR) experts, who have analyzed the topic and shared their findings.
Any study that originates from the Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, is generally worth a close look, so you won’t want to miss our report on how AI assistance leads to an improvement in the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer.
Lung cancer screening has received a major boost in Germany. The Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) has approved the technique as a benefit for people covered by statutory health insurance providers. The policy is due to go into effect in April 2026, provided the Federal Ministry of Health confirms the decision. Don’t miss our report.
Human factors in radiology are seldom discussed, stated U.K. researchers. They’re convinced that an awareness of individual limits and vulnerabilities is a useful starting point for radiologists to safely manage the increasing demand for imaging.
