Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
Prof. Valérie Vilgrain is a towering figure in radiology education. Over the years, she's received many plaudits for her work with the European School of Radiology and the European Society for Gastrointestinal & Abdominal Radiology. She's also an innovator, as shown by her upcoming winter course.
To kick off our coverage of ECR 2025, we asked her to look ahead to this year's congress. Don't miss this eight-minute video interview with Frances Rylands-Monk. Over the coming weeks, we'll bring you further chats with other key players.
In other news, we've posted an article today about an important paper from the researchers behind the SCOT-HEART trial. Radiologist and lead investigator Prof. Michelle Williams speaks about the main findings, new analysis, and the follow-up plans.
Also this week, we posted another thought-provoking column from Dr. Chris Hammond. He's concerned that imaging demand is increasing by about 5% a year in the U.K., and for complex cross-sectional imaging, demand growth was 11% in 2023.
Endovascular thrombectomy is proving valuable in cases of acute extracranial internal carotid artery occlusions, but how does it compare with best medical treatment such as intravenous thrombolysis? German researchers have provided some answers.
Finally, don't forget to check out market expert Amy Thompson's top 5 predictions for imaging IT and AI sectors.
