Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
Strike action by trainee radiologists is relatively rare, so it's no surprise that our breaking news story about a walkout in Brussels has generated huge interest and is this week's most viewed article.
Residents believe the lack of supervision and guidance by senior colleagues poses a threat to patient safety. We'll post an update on this strike when there are further developments.
October is an exceptionally busy month for congresses, and it's impressive that the first meeting of the seven radiological societies making up the G7 bloc took place last weekend in Venice, Italy. The plan now is to produce a series of white papers and for this to become a regular event. Check out our report.
Can AI-assisted triage of lung x-rays using commercially available software reduce turnaround times in clinical settings? Researchers have addressed this question in an important new study.
The annual meeting of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM 2024) begins in Hamburg, Germany, on 20 October. Ahead of the conference, we have an article about the impact of new guidelines on the use of somatostatin receptor PET imaging and therapy in meningiomas.
Our final top story this week is about a courageous blog posted by the U.K. Royal College of Radiologists. Dr. Abhishek Mahajan writes honestly about his working life as a gay man and the need for radiology to embrace authenticity.
