Failure to diagnose abdominal bleeds often means bad outcome
In vascular abdominal emergencies, patient status can degenerate quickly, so time is of the essence. CT is pivotal for fast and appropriate triage of patients and selection of the best treatment strategy. But what if the really important signs and symptoms are small and hidden? New technologies are helping to provide the answers.

Radiographers: Foster the human touch in the age of AI
The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) with permanently evolving imaging techniques and machines has created a complex working environment. There is an ever greater need for radiographers to create strategies to optimize the patient's clinical pathway and be prepared to develop skills to keep their profession alive.

The 10-minute abdominal MRI scan: Can it become reality?
While MRI is sensitive and specific for liver imaging, the time required for a thorough exam often means that radiologists opt for CT due to quicker results and fewer artifacts. But what if the usual 30-minute MRI could be reduced to 10 minutes? Would that sway doctors to send patients for an MRI more often? Experts at today's session on making the 10-minute MRI exam a reality believe that it would.

Web tools help determine radiation risk from CT in pregnancy
As demand for imaging and the use of CT in the emergency department grow, the probability of both planned exposures in pregnancy and inadvertent exposures also is increasing. Is it likely that both scenarios will be encountered by most imaging departments several times a year, so radiologists must be prepared for this, delegates will hear at today's Special Focus Session on CT in pregnant patients.

Waking the dead: Forensic imaging requires different mindset
To document vascular lesions linked with possible cause of death, radiologists will need to be familiar with the specific questions that the pathologist wants answered. While postmortem CT angiography is simple, fast, and reliable, the signs associated with motor vehicle accidents, homicides, and medical liabilities are numerous and subtle. Radiographers, too, will need to step outside their comfort zone, delegates will hear at today's session on forensic imaging.

German survey puts focus back on incidental findings
The results from a new survey by German researchers underline that study participants appreciate learning about incidental findings and have triggered improved standardization of incidental finding reporting in a large national cohort. These findings are likely to be frequently observed in population-based imaging, so more research is needed on tools to optimize reporting efficiency, they noted.

Report: Turkey's clampdown has deep impact on medicine
More than 21,000 doctors and healthcare workers -- including many radiologists and radiographers -- across the public and private sector have lost their jobs since the attempted coup against the government in July 2016, according to a report. This is having a serious effect on access to specialists.

Unfilled vacancies and disparities persist in nuclear medicine
Dual PET imaging in Case Two illustrates a patient with discordant disease. FDG PET (b & d) shows FDG uptake in tail of pancreas primary lesion (yellow arrow), as well as multiple hepatic metastases (yellow boxes), with enlarged liver span. DOTATATE PET on left (a) shows several hepatic metastases that do not demonstrate DOTATATE uptake above background of liver parenchyma. The liver lesions in (c) demonstrate moderate FDG uptake in liver lesions, with no corresponding DOTATATE avidity (white box) or central photopenia (white arrow). This discordance in dual PET imaging corresponds to a NETPET score of 5. This suggests de-differentiated disease and a less favorable prognosis. The patient was not suitable for Lutate treatment and received chemotherapy.

Why I’m still so suspicious of AI

AI systems are remarkable achievements, but there is a way to go before I’ll lift my scepticism of their role as anything other than a tool to be deployed judiciously and alongside other, human, solutions, writes clinical radiologist Dr. Chris Hammond.

Lateral spreading tumors (LSTs). (a–c) Example of LST-non-granular (LST-NG). (a) Sagittal 2D-image with 40–400-HU abdominal window setting indicates a large 5.6-cm lesion with subtle diffuse thickening of the rectal wall (white arrows); the surface is partially covered by a thin layer of orally administered contrast agent. (b) The appearance of the villous mat on the 3D endoscopic view highlights the nodular aspect (white arrows) at the periphery of the lesion. (c) The optical colonoscopy view with the final diagnosis of a carpet villous adenoma with low-grade dysplasia. (d–f) Example of an LST-granular (LST-G) lesion. (d) Sagittal 2D image indicating nodular thickening of the rectum wall with a 10-mm nodule (white arrow). (e) The 3D endoscopic view visualized the irregular LST with a large nodule (white arrow), similar to (f) the endoscopic image obtained the same day after CTC. It confirmed the diagnosis and allowed mucosectomy with a final pathology report of a tubulous lesion with high-grade dysplasia.
