Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
Predicting the future is always an extremely dangerous process, especially at such an unstable time for the world, so you have to admire a team of medical imaging and health IT analysts who have put their heads together and made a series of bold and insightful predictions for 2026.
Ergonomics, personalized imaging, and generative AI all look set to become much more important in the next 12 months. Find out more in this week’s top story.
Gadolinium from MRI contrast agents is a widespread contaminant in drinking water globally, especially in Europe, according to French-led research. The situation is of particular concern in Amsterdam and Berlin.
A flurry of new journal articles was published during the first few days of January, and an Italian breast imaging study about contrast-enhanced mammography caught the eye of our editorial team.
Switzerland is known to have an excellent reputation in forensic science, and it’s intriguing that authors from Zurich have evaluated the use of low-field MRI scanners in postmortem imaging. Their results deserve a close look.
Last but not least, Turkish researchers are convinced that ChatGPT-generated informed consent forms can boost patients' understanding of interventional radiology procedures.
