Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
Each of us has our own favorite memory from the Olympic Games in Paris, but for Dr. Filippo Pesapane, it was the gold medal win of the Italian women's volleyball team.
He's convinced radiology can learn much from the approach and tactics of coach Julio Velasco. Don't miss his well-crafted and thought-provoking column.
News of another MRI incident emerged this week. An explosion occurred when a scanner was being decommissioned. Two hospital employees and a technician from a private service provider were injured, according to a local media report.
On a happier note, laughter is good for patient care and staff morale, according to a podcast from the European Society of Cardiology. Dr. Rohin Francis has some practical advice on how to use humor in medicine.
There's no place for plagiarism. That's the clear message from a recent U.K. tribunal that suspended a researcher who admitted being dishonest.
Last but definitely not least, the Indian Radiological and Imaging Association (IRIA) organized a 24-hour strike to demand justice for a 31-year-old medical resident who was murdered.
