The Journées Francophones de Radiologie (JFR 2017) congress wrapped up in Paris earlier this week, and we're pleased to bring you several reports from this important meeting. In one presentation, Swiss researchers discussed their work on reducing overscanning in CT, which can lead to higher radiation dose. In another talk, a French group discussed its work using MRI contrast to detect biliary leaks.
Finally, Dutch researchers recently discussed their work using contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) to follow up on women who were recalled from screening mammography exams. They found CESM to be a valuable workup tool -- get the rest of the story by clicking here.
