Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
Most people automatically assume the digital revolution that continues to transform radiology is a completely positive phenomenon. Dr. Werner Golder disagrees. He has expressed serious concerns about the future, and he fears digital images undermine the authority of radiologists compared with other specialists.
Golder has written a well-crafted and thought-provoking German-language editorial on this topic, and he's allowed us to translate and edit the text. To read it, visit our PACS Digital Community, or click here.
When it comes to providing fresh information about mummies, imaging has come into its own over recent years. Lancet has published a new study covering ancient Egypt, Peru, the southwestern U.S., and the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, and it is worth a close look. Go to our CT Digital Community, or click here.
Europe's medical physicists have produced some analysis and suggestions on MRI safety. They found substantial variations between countries. Get the story in our MRI Digital Community, or click here.
European Radiology is to have a new editor in chief by the start of next year.
