Dear AuntMinnieEurope member,
A recent opinion paper called for European imaging departments to treat the EU AI Act as more than a regulatory checklist. Instead, two provisions of the regulation should directly influence how radiology departments train staff and oversee algorithms after deployment, the authors said. Click here for all of the details.
What can cause chromosome damage from PET/CT scans? A new study suggests that it’s the CT dose, not the FDG radiotracer, that’s the main driver of chromosomal aberrations.
Another highly viewed article this week reported on the common injuries caused by pager blasts in Lebanon in 2024. And radiologists in a recent study found it difficult to distinguish between real and AI-generated CT and MR images.
Should chest radiographs be routinely used in children with recurrent wheezing? Although nearly 3 out of 4 chest x-rays show abnormalities in these cases, they rarely lead to changes in diagnosis and treatment. The research supports selective use.
See below for our other top stories from the week.
