Heavy investments enable Turkey to shine
Turkey is now leading the way in several areas of radiology. In Sunday's host session, "Turkey welcomes ECR," key figures from the country's community of radiologists provided delegates with a snapshot of their work, notably functional brain MRI, percutaneous treatment of liver hydatid cysts, and advanced hepatopancreaticobiliary imaging.

Europe plays catch-up on MRI safety
While having an MRI safety officer at each imaging site is strongly recommended, few European centers have implemented this in practice. The situation looks set to change with the emergence of formal national and international guidelines that seek to minimize the risks for patients and professionals, according to a refresher course on Saturday at ECR 2015.

CAD becomes a spell-check for small polyps
Computer-aided detection (CAD) can only enhance performance if used correctly, and it does not reduce the need for training, according to a presentation on Friday at ECR 2015 in Vienna. CAD for colonography has shown promise, but radiologists need to understand sensitivity and specificity issues, as well as when CAD should be deployed.

Standardization moves streamline Europe's reporting structures
Advances in data mining from radiological cases can be made only if the global imaging community adopts lexicon and formatting standards for their reports, and radiologists must ask their IT providers for reporting tools.

Hybrid techniques make giant strides in clinical practice
As hybrid imaging gains more ground in cardiology, neurology, and oncology, the debate over PET/MRI's current and potential role in routine practice still rages. The central question remains: Is it an expensive new toy with no clinical applications on the horizon, or is it a truly revolutionary technique?
