Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
RSNA is such a vast and awe-inspiring meeting that it's easy to get swept along by the hype, like a motorist dazzled by bright headlights at night. This is particularly true when it comes to the huge exhibition area.
But our regular market columnist Stephen Holloway is not a person who gets easily carried away. Don't miss his balanced, measured, and objective assessment of this year's event in Chicago. Learn more here.
Based on our page views for December, many of you enjoyed last Wednesday's story about the high discrepancy rate in teleradiologists' reports. Dr. George McInnes has now responded to this audit on behalf of the teleradiology community, and this debate looks set to run and run. Go to our CT Community, or click here.
Radiologists at Cork University Hospital in southwest Ireland are developing a reputation for excellence in plain-film reporting. They've produced a checklist for anybody who's struggling in this area, and they collected a certificate of merit award at RSNA 2016 for their efforts.

Another notable RSNA award winner was a group from Tehran University Hospital in Iran. Radiologists must be aware of the presentations, classification, and imaging features of retinoblastoma, as well as the indications for intra-arterial chemotherapy of retinoblastoma, urges lead author Dr. Hossein Ghanaati.

Meanwhile, new research from Germany has shed light on the issue of gadolinium deposits, which may linger in the brain years after injection gadolinium-based contrast agents for MRI scans. Get the full story here.
On behalf of everybody at AuntMinnieEurope.com, I wish you all the very best for the festive season. We will be continuing to post new articles, so please do check our home page whenever you can.
