Dear AuntMinnie Europe member,
The MRI exam isn’t finished when the patient emerges from the scanner bore, and the last step in the process is an important opportunity for radiographers to help ease any lingering anxiety, according to Giuseppe Scappatura of the Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Bianchi Melacrino Morelli in Reggia Calabria, Italy. He explains why in a new column.
The Ukrainian healthcare system has demonstrated immense resilience during a conflict that has now lasted longer than World War I. But this resiliency should not lead to isolation, according to a presentation at the recent first UEMS (European Union of Medical Specialists) Congress.
In Germany, a project is underway aimed at helping children from around age four and older to receive MRI exams without general anesthesia. Click here for all of the details.
Self-belief and big dreams can often lead to significant achievements. Recently, our Claudia Tschabuschnig spoke to radiologist Dr. Rosa Alba Pugliesi about her journey in radiology.
We also have an update on AI regulation and an article on new proposed MRI standards for prostate cancer screening.
Please see below for our other top stories from the week.
