Is 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.

ECR: 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.
