Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
One of the ways multiple sclerosis (MS) manifests is as white-matter lesions in the brain, which are associated with a loss of myelin. But the detection of new and enlarging white-matter lesions remains a challenging area in suspected cases of MS.
In a five-center study, Swiss investigators have evaluated the accuracy of software for finding these problematic lesions. Their findings deserve a close look in the MRI Community.
ECR is less than four weeks away. By now, most of you will have seen the striking "Cycle of Life" poster for this year's congress. In the first of three interviews with Prof. Adrian Brady, president of ECR 2023, we focus on his love of cycling and how it helps him to avoid burnout.
Tenosynovial giant cell tumors are a group of rare, benign tumors that involve the synovium, bursae, and tendon sheath. German researchers have explained how they used gallium-68 fibroblast activation protein inhibitor PET imaging to find one of these tumors in a COVID-19 patient's thigh. Don't miss our news report in the Molecular Imaging Community.
How can pelvic MRI be used to diagnose deep infiltrating endometriosis? How does the technique compare with transvaginal ultrasound? A research group from Pierre and Marie Curie University in Paris has addressed these questions in a recent publication.
Last but definitely not least, we have a report about photon-counting CT. Cardiovascular and emergency radiologist Prof. Hatem Alkadhi and his colleagues in Zurich have shared their experiences of this emerging technology.
