3D printing transitions from laboratory to bedside
February 28, 2019 -- Three-dimensional printing has spread from craniomaxillofacial surgery to a wide range of medical disciplines, and it can help demonstrate the value of radiologists in a future with artificial intelligence and machine learning. That's the view of Dr. Philipp Brantner, joint head of the 3D Printing Lab at the University Hospital of Basel in Switzerland. Discuss

Is 7-tesla MRI ready yet to go clinical?
February 28, 2019 -- Clinical 7-tesla MRI is no longer a distant pipedream for researchers and is gaining ground in routine scenarios, advocates of the technique state. Its growing pertinence for diseases such as multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and dementia means that radiologists need to know about the latest 7-tesla practice and its potential, but some practical issues still remain.

Video from ECR 2019: Christiane Kuhl on breast screening
February 27, 2019 -- VIENNA - Screening of breast cancer with abbreviated MRI is now viable, cost-effective, and ready for clinical use, according to Dr. Christiane Kuhl. Being one of only two female heads of radiology at university hospitals in Germany, she also speaks about whether there is a glass ceiling in medical imaging and gives practical and timely advice on how to conduct better research. Discuss

Liquid biopsy can be game-changer in radiology
February 27, 2019 -- Biomarkers, in combination with liquid biopsy and pathology, can help to optimize cancer detection and characterization in the years ahead, and they now form an integral part of a diagnostic approach that aims to integrate diverse data from imaging, pathology, and liquid biopsy/laboratory medicine, experts noted in this morning's New Horizons session at ECR 2019 in Vienna.

Be aware of artifacts to improve hybrid imaging outcomes
February 27, 2019 -- Awareness of possible artifacts and pitfalls in hybrid imaging is the first step in dealing with them, ECR 2019 delegates learned in a session during the opening day of the congress. The presenters also discussed new types of problems and challenges that may occur with the clinical application of novel specific tracers. Discuss
