Breast MRI displays viability for new indications

When participants at a European Society of Breast Imaging training course were presented with a case study and asked to provide their first-line assessment, the instant poll revealed the challenge of changing clinical practice for assessing whether a patient complaint of nipple discharge is symptomatic of cancer.

Gilbert casts doubt on breast MRI use to monitor recurrence

VIENNA - Although MRI is the most sensitive modality, it is not justified as a surveillance tool for women who have previously had breast cancer, Dr. Fiona Gilbert told participants at last week's meeting organized by the European Society of Breast Imaging.

Politics blocks widespread use of breast MRI for implants

VIENNA - In the region served by the Ribera public hospital, around 10,000 women have received defective Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) implants, a population that would quickly overwhelm the radiology service if MRI examinations were authorized, according to Dr. Julia Camps Herrero, head of radiology at the center in Alzira, Valencia, Spain.

3T MRI opens new avenues for breast cancer diagnosis

VIENNA - It's early days, but the power of high-field imaging is going to push the limits of what radiologists believe is possible in breast MRI, noted Dr. Thomas Helbich, vice chair of radiology at the Medical University of Vienna, in a pre-European Congress of Radiology meeting.

JFR: La téléradiologie est 'un train devenu fou' pour les médecins français

14 novembre 2011 -- PARIS - Alors que tous les efforts sont mis en oeuvre pour accélérer le développement de réseaux de téléradiologie et augmenter la rapidité de la connexion entre les images médicales et les experts chargés de leur interprétation, des praticiens hospitaliers, submergés de requêtes, souhaitent faire une pause, a révélé une séance des JFR 2011.

7 novembre 2011 -- PARIS - Les radiologues accueilleraient volontiers un consensus sur les risques liés à l'utilisation des agents de contraste à base de gadolinium pour la santé des patients. Or les recommandations publiées par l'Agence européenne du médicament de 2010 en font s'interroger plus d'un sur la manière d'imager les patients tout en réduisant le risque de fibrose systémique néphrogénique, ont constaté des experts lors des JFR 2011.

JFR: French doctors liken teleradiology to runaway train

PARIS - While everyone else is trying to fast-forward teleradiology networks and increase speed in connecting medical imaging with expert readers, some hospital doctors at the sharp end are looking to hit the pause button. They even liken teleconsultations to a runaway train and want to regain control of the process.

When war hits your radiology department

More than 2,881 attacks on healthcare in Ukraine have been documented since February 2022. At ECR 2026, a radiologist from Kyiv walked a room of European colleagues through what that actually means for a department, and what to do before it happens to yours.

'We can see what the clinicians cannot see, and especially sarcopenia and osteoporosis are under-reported and under-diagnosed,' said Kerensa Beekman, MD, PhD, of Radboud University Medical Center.

ECR: The scan you've already done: Body composition's missing picture

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

The argument for body composition in radiology is not about acquiring new data, but about reading what's already there. At ECR 2026, two sessions made the case that every CT scan already holds information that could change a patient's prognosis. Most of it is never reported.

'We can see what the clinicians cannot see, and especially sarcopenia and osteoporosis are under-reported and under-diagnosed,' said Kerensa Beekman, MD, PhD, of Radboud University Medical Center.
