Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
How can the medical imaging community best implement AI? This is probably the number one question facing radiology right now.
A German/U.S. research group has addressed this hot topic in a new special report. You can read more about the team’s analysis in our article.
Hospital doctors who do locum work during the hours they’re contracted to work for their employer face the very real prospect of being struck off the medical register. That’s the main conclusion to draw from the recent tribunal involving Dr. Jacek Lewit.
AI-generated depictions of radiologists and radiographers matter because they have a direct impact on career aspirations, patient trust, and workforce diversity, according to Canadian researchers. Their comprehensive study deserves a close look.
Meanwhile, two important stories broke Down Under this week. First, the interventional radiology staff at a major tertiary hospital in Sydney collectively resigned after failing to reach a resolution with management in an ongoing labor dispute.
Second, the Australian national lung cancer screening program got underway. As momentum continues to build for lung cancer screening, no doubt many Europeans will be watching the development of this scheme.
