Dear AuntMinnie Europe member,
While advances in imaging technology and breast cancer research are improving diagnostics, patients must remain at the center of every diagnostic decision, according to an event held by the European Society of Radiology this week.
Meanwhile, success in kidney tumor treatment can benefit from collaboration between radiologists, urologists, and patients, according to a session at JFR 2026.
In big industry news, Siemens Healthineers announced that it would be exiting the general imaging ultrasound business to focus on procedural imaging and image-guided therapy. Click here for all of the details.
In partner content, we have a profile on breast cancer screening efforts at Maastricht UMC+. And Bayer’s Dr. Joana Reis discussed personalized breast imaging and more in a video interview.
We also have a video interview for you from neuroRAD 2026. Dr. Joe Lennerz of Natera shared his thoughts on integrated diagnostics, clinical AI, and the challenges of translating innovation into routine practice.
Meanwhile, the autumn congress season continues this weekend with the annual meeting of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) in Vienna. Associate Editor Claudia Tschabuschnig will be on hand at Austria Center Vienna and we invite you to check back in next week for her reports.
Please see below for our full list of top stories of the week.
