They published a case report on 18 August in Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging.August 22, 2022Molecular ImagingAuntMinnieEurope.com Molecular Imaging InsiderAugust 16, 2022Clinical News4 key clinical areas emerge for optimum use of PET/MRIThe question today isn't why PET/MRI hybrid scanners should be used over PET/CT but how they can be best put to use. This is the view of a top German specialist in hybrid imaging, who points to four major applications in which PET/MRI is proving to be a game changer.August 16, 2022SocioeconomicRussia invests in nuclear medicine research facility in BoliviaBolivia has opened a nuclear research center in La Paz -- more than 4000 m above sea level. The $300 million facility is the world's highest-altitude site producing medical radioisotopes, and is a joint effort between the Bolivian Nuclear Energy Agency and the Russian giant Rosatom.August 14, 2022Molecular ImagingPET/MRI can provide boost for bone infection diagnosisA group of orthopedic surgeons in the Netherlands are convinced that medical staff with access to PET/MRI should consider the hybrid modality over other imaging techniques for diagnosing patients with suspected chronic osteomyelitis.August 11, 2022Medical, Legal, and PracticeIs it a fracture caused by child abuse? Or is it rickets?Some medicolegal experts claim certain fractures seen on x-rays in child abuse cases result from rickets and not traumatic injury. But this is a fringe belief, and a recent study has countered it by showing that radiologists can reliably differentiate between the two.July 17, 2022ConferenceECR: Should patient shielding stay or should it go?European experts are gradually reaching a consensus that radiation shielding is no longer needed for some imaging exams, yet this notion is proving a hard pill to swallow at some hospitals. With that in mind, a panel discussion held on Friday at ECR 2022 addressed the pros and cons of the issue.July 15, 2022ConferenceECR: Naples team highlights PET/MRI's clinical promise in breast cancerHybrid PET/MRI is a new frontier for breast imaging, as it allows a comprehensive tumor assessment, from morphology to functional properties, according to research shown at ECR 2022 in Vienna.July 13, 2022Clinical NewsChest x-ray technique can cut radiation dose in infantsChest radiography is the most frequently used imaging modality in neonatal intensive care units. Researchers have found that radiation doses to neonates undergoing chest x-rays can be significantly reduced by using a novel method.June 30, 2022AIAI chest x-ray software displays clinical promise in childrenA new study has found that an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm initially cleared for analyzing chest x-rays of adult patients may also be effective for use in children. The algorithm was tested for identifying eight detectable lesions, and achieved an accuracy of 87.5%.June 23, 2022Previous PagePage 12 of 20Next PageTop StoriesOrganized Radiology IssuesBeyond treatment: Europe's new focus on cancer prevention and screeningEurope’s cancer debate is shifting toward reducing risk, finding disease sooner and preventing some cancers from developing at all.CTneuroRAD’s next generation: “The future is already in the room”MRIESHNR President Robinson on science and connection at ASHNR 2026Womens ImagingAt EUSOBI, X-rays reveal art’s hidden storiesMRICardiac MRI-derived metrics predict adverse cardiac disease outcomes
