7T MRI successfully images the female pelvis

Imaging the female pelvis is possible using contrast-enhanced 7-tesla T1-weighted MR imaging, German researchers report in European Radiology, but they also demonstrated the image impairment associated with T2-weighted MRI in their study. Their preliminary results show that 7-tesla MRI of the pelvis is a promising but challenging imaging technique.

New BJR study assesses measurement of CR image quality

Medical physics experts may now use the image quality metrics described in a British Journal of Radiology study in quality assurance programs and optimization studies with a degree of confidence -- they reflect the clinical image quality in chest computed radiography (CR) images acquired without an antiscatter grid.

Mind the gender gap: Inequity for women radiologists flourishes

Despite the significant number of women radiologists in Italy, there exists a gender gap, which can be witnessed in horizontal and vertical segregation, according to a European Journal of Radiology article published online on 15 May. The author recommends that policies should be introduced to counter the bias.

Pink ribbons fail to inform Austrian women about breast cancer

Despite high-profile breast cancer awareness campaigns -- such as the use of pink ribbons -- the majority of Austrian women ages 45 to 69 were unaware of key aspects of screening, such as the existence of potential harms from the exams, an Austrian researcher has found.

High-risk breast cancer patients more susceptible to DNA damage

High-risk breast cancer patients have an increased sensitivity to radiation -- and thus radiation-induced cancer -- so their mammography exams should be limited to a single oblique view, in addition to MRI to detect infiltrative breast cancer and carcinoma in situ, according to French researchers.

EJR: MRI measures up in estimating breast cancer tumors

Using breast MRI to estimate tumor size in high-risk patients is comparable to the modality's performance for sporadic cancers. This means breast MRI can safely be used for treatment planning, Dutch researchers believe.
