Discuss CT highlights risk of lung inflammation from vaping
November 11, 2019 -- Fresh evidence has emerged of the health dangers of vaping. In a case report published by Archives of Disease in Childhood on 11 November, U.K. authors warn that the fluid in electronic cigarettes may cause life-threatening lung inflammation in those who are susceptible, after treating a teenage boy with respiratory failure.

Discuss Italians use 3D printing to enhance safety in upper GI surgery
November 8, 2019 -- A group of Italian researchers developed 3D-printed models of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract to provide important benefits to the surgical management of a patient with a compressed esophagus. The team has shared its clinical experiences in an online article posted by BMC Surgery.

Discuss FDG-PET/CT has limits in esophageal cancer follow-up
November 7, 2019 -- FDG-PET/CT might be considered a double-edged sword when it comes to esophageal cancer. The modality fell short of identifying some higher tumor regression grades, but it detected interval metastases during post-treatment surveillance in a study published in the November issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Discuss Germany leads in new survey of burnout in radiology
November 6, 2019 -- Burnout has reached "crisis levels" in Germany among radiographers and imaging directors, according to a new survey of job satisfaction in four developed countries. In fact, 97% of respondents from Germany reported either "moderate" or "high" burnout levels -- a much higher rate than in other nations.
