Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
The future of breast screening looks set to come under intense scrutiny at France's national radiology congress, JFR 2024, which begins today in Paris.
Ahead of the meeting, we caught up with Prof. Isabelle Thomassin-Naggara, president of the Women's Imaging Society (SIFEM) in France, to discuss the latest trends in breast imaging. She also comments on the breast sessions at JFR 2024 and on how to avoid burnout.
Another hot topic at the congress is how to get the most out of radiology's workforce of the future, Generation Z. We spoke with an expert who's organizing a plenary session about the subject on Saturday.
In another JFR 2024 video interview, Prof. Marie-Pierre Revel, past president of the European Society of Thoracic Imaging, tells us about the implementation of CT lung cancer screening in France and the latest findings from research projects in which she's involved.
Meanwhile, a novel interventional technique is proving cost-effective for the treatment of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. Don't miss our news report.
To end on a lighter note, we have a fascinating story about the use of CT to scan a rare, 175-year-old double bass instrument made from British sycamore.
