Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
This year will mark the 40th anniversary of diffusion MRI, and our most-read story this week was actually an interview we conducted with Prof. Denis Le Bihan, PhD, who is credited with inventing the technique. Le Bihan is founder of NeuroSpin, which is part of the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA). Click here to listen to his reflections.
The Journées Francophones de Radiologie (JFR 2024) congress was held from 4 to 7 October in Paris, and our readers took notice of our meeting coverage, which included new French recommendations for imaging endometriosis and a story on the continued expansion of France's largest network of private radiologists, VIDI.
Also of interest this week to AuntMinnieEurope members was an article on how 7-tesla MRI reveals the long-term effects of COVID-19 on the brains of those who recovered from the illness, as well as a story on how imaging can help clinicians identify specific toxins in patients with symptoms of poisoning and clarify how the toxin is affecting them.
