CT scans of Tyrannosaurus rex unlock fossil's hidden secrets

A German team has used dual-energy CT (DECT) to identify bone disease in the fossilized jaw of a Tyrannosaurus rex named Tristan Otto. The work, presented at RSNA 2021, underlines the value of DECT as a noninvasive tool for paleontologists to investigate fossils.

CT reveals shocking injury caused by COVID-19 nasal swab

A Czech team has treated a patient for a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak after a COVID-19 test with a nasal swab led to an injury at the base of his skull. This is thought to be the first case of a CSF fistula after nasal swab testing in a healthy patient with no preexisting skull base condition.

Urine test and CT can boost detection of adrenal cancer

Employing a "triple test strategy" that combines lab work and imaging could improve the detection of adrenal cancer and reduce costs and time to surgery for patients, according to a pan-European study published online on 23 July in the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology.

Video from ECR: What's up with Paul Parizel?

Exude happiness, don't cling on to the past, and keep the long-term goal in mind. These are the top lifestyle tips of Prof. Paul Parizel, who reflects on his move from Belgium to Australia and on the wave of U.K. and Irish trainees arriving Down Under.

Dr. Linda Moy explains at ECR 2025 how gadolinium waste from contrast agents exacerbates water pollution. She offered several suggestions to limit or even eliminate the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents in favor of more energy-efficient MR imaging methods.
