Dear AuntMinnie Europe member,
Our most-read story this week proves that radiologists are very much ready to discuss retirement, especially when Dr. Paul McCoubrie does it with his trademark wit. “I’m looking forward to Stage III - the Fun Stage,” he writes, reflecting on aging, late-career reinvention, and knowing when it’s to step away from work.
Following a meeting in Vienna, Dr. Suhny Abbara, editor-in-chief of Radiology, joined us for a video interview to discuss AI in scientific publishing and offer a rare look behind the scenes of the journal. He explains why the field must evolve, what makes a submission impossible to ignore, and why human judgment remains essential in an increasingly AI-driven world.
Also on screen was Dr. Antoine Leimgruber of Swiss Medical Network in Genolier, who explored why promising innovations fail to reach clinical practice and what it takes to move forward from smarter investment, supportive policy to regulation fit for innovation.
Another popular article this week explored whether meningioma surveillance has become too intensive. A Danish study found that 83.5% of follow-up MRI scans led to no treatment, while imaging beyond five years rarely changed patient management, strengthening the case for more risk-adapted surveillance.
Please see below for our full list of top stories from the week.
