Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
Our top story this week is about some intriguing new analysis from Germany that suggests low-field MRI has a role to play in COVID-19 imaging.
Investigators used 0.55-tesla MRI to study 54 children who were hospitalized with COVID-19, and their results support the need for further surveillance of persistent pulmonary damage in younger patients after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Get the full story in the MRI Community.
Meanwhile, this must surely rate as one of the most striking and original headings for a congress presentation: "Bloody hell: Who is the bleeder?"
The novel title was used by Spanish researchers for an ECR 2022 e-poster about vascular pelvic injuries in blunt trauma patients. The authors showed how CT is the primary diagnostic technique for identifying pelvic hemorrhages, and they won a magna cum laude award for their work. You can find out more in our CT Community.
There's a growing consensus that burnout is a widespread problem, but reliable statistics remain scarce. An expert from the University of Manchester, U.K., has looked closely at 170 observational studies on burnout that involved nearly 240,000 physicians, and his findings deserve a close look.
The huge annual French national radiology conference, the Journées Francophones de Radiologie (JFR) 2022, begins in Paris on 7 October. As a curtain raiser, we've posted an interview with Congress President Prof. François Cotton, PhD, from Lyon.
Last but not least, a research group at Sorbonne University in Paris simulated PET/MRI imaging with a 90% reduction in injected F-18 FDG radiotracer dose in patients with cognitive impairment. The images remained reliable for differentiating Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia. Go to the Molecular Imaging Community to learn more.
