Dear AuntMinnie Europe member,
A Ukrainian radiologist who served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and was medically discharged in 2024 will soon lead a team of war veterans, including two amputees, on a 1000-kilometer charity cycling expedition to raise funds for front-line evacuation vehicles. But the journey is more than just about money, explains Dr. Oleksandr Berezovskyi in a new column.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Scientific Forum was held this week in Vienna and our Associate Editor Claudia Tschabuschnig was on hand to cover sessions on the barriers to adoption of radiotherapy and theranostics in low-income countries and an update on the IAEA’s Rays of Hope initiative.
In other presentations from the annual congress of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE), researchers described findings on the performance of microwave ablation for colorectal liver metastases and shared results from the PROMETHEUS trial. You can find our story here.
The European Society of Head and Neck Radiology (ESHNR) also recently concluded their annual congress. Click here for our report.
Please see below for our full list of top stories from the week.
