Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
The threat of malpractice claims is becoming ever greater for radiologists across the globe, so it's no big surprise that a timely and practical guide to this hot topic received a top award at RSNA 2023.
The two Californian authors were among 17 recipients of a magna cum laude award at the Chicago congress. Research teams from Italy and Spain were also singled out by the judges in the poster hall. Get the full story here.
Another highlight this week was Tuesday's session about imaging advances in Singapore, where point-of-care ultrasound, 3D printing of anatomical organs, and artificial intelligence are being prioritized to meet workforce needs.
RSNA is still targeted by many groups of researchers from international centers of excellence. For example, presenters from University Hospital Ulm and University Hospital Rechts der Isar in Germany unveiled MRI results suggesting that increased T2 values of the trapezius muscles could be an objective imaging biomarker for myofascial involvement in primary headache disorders.
In another German-led study, Dr. Christiane Kuhl, PhD, of RWTH Aachen University presented research indicating that her team's deep-learning model performed well in breast cancer risk assessment in a dataset of nearly 130,000 women.
There have been a series of high-profile cases of professional footballers who have developed dementia in later life, possibly because of heading the ball over many years. New research involving diffusion-weighted imaging was bound to attract interest.
We'll be posting more updates from RSNA 2023 over the coming weeks. Also, make sure you check out AuntMinnie.com's full coverage here.
