Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
The imaging community is on the verge of figuring out cinematic rendering's clinical value and all of its advantages relative to traditional 3D rendering techniques, yet many radiologists are unaware of its capabilities and even those involved in the field are only beginning to realize its potential.
This is the view of experts from a renowned U.S. facility, who have just published an authoritative overview of the current and future status of cinematic rendering. You won't want to miss their stunning selection of images -- go to the Advanced Visualization Community, or click here.
A hot topic at the recent congress of the European Society of Cardiovascular Radiology was cardiac FDG uptake in PET/CT. A team from Turkey and the U.K. has looked closely at this controversial subject, and the findings are worth a read. You can do so in our MRI Community, or by clicking here.
Peer review of radiologist performance can be difficult to implement, but practitioners in Moscow have addressed the challenge successfully by a remote regional quality assurance (QA) system. The process has led to marked decreases in the percentage of cases with significant or insignificant discrepancies. How did they accomplish this improved performance? Click here for the full story.
The work of Marie Curie continues to inspire and generate massive interest. Her contribution to World War I, and specifically to battlefield medicine, has captured the attention of Timothy Jorgensen, PhD. To read his fascinating article, visit the Digital X-Ray Community, or click here.
We have a report about a novel approach to chronic wound healing that includes the use of image analysis along with 3D modeling and bioprinting. Find out more here.
Finally, as we go to press, our sister site AuntMinnie.com has released its list of winners in the Minnies, its annual event recognizing excellence in radiology. We're proud to note that one of Europe's own, Dr. Stephan Achenbach, has taken home the award for Most Influential Radiology Researcher. Learn more by clicking here.
