Dear AuntMinnieEurope member,
Although prostate cancer screening may support early detection, reliance on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing alone can lead to false-positive results, unnecessary biopsies, overdiagnosis, and overtreatment. But is an organized, risk-stratified screening approach that incorporates MRI viable in Europe?
Five European pilot sites recently demonstrated clinical capacity for prostate cancer screening. However, there were also several concerns, according to our coverage.
Another popular story this week featured a video interview with Prof. Jaap Stoker, who will be taking over as editor in chief of European Radiology Experimental in January 2027. He shared his thoughts on a variety of topics, including the role of AI in scientific publishing.
The Modern Cardiovascular Interventions Forum recently held its second edition in Lviv, Ukraine. Click here for our report.
Researchers also explored the use of social media in radiology education. And a CT quality rating system performed well for standardizing dose-aware CT quality assessment and identifying optimization opportunities.
Please see below for our full list of top stories from the week.
