Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
The memory board set up for Prof. Willi Kalender, PhD, is very revealing. It shows he was not only a gifted scientist and a visionary but also a great networker and socializer. No doubt this is what made him such a unique individual.
While researching our tribute article about him, I was struck by how readily busy people responded to my request for information. Along with the memory board, that speaks volumes about what his peers thought of him.
It's been an extremely tough 10 days for everyone in the Valencia region of Eastern Spain. In a special feature, three members of the medical imaging community share their experiences and views of the flash floods. The survivors of this tragedy are deeply affected, but they are not defeated, said musculoskeletal radiologist Dr. Eva Llopis.
Incidental findings tend to be a mixed blessing. Detection of significant findings at an earlier stage is welcome, but it may also lead to patient anxiety and overtreatment. Also, there are no guidelines on how to manage incidentalomas for many organs. Australian researchers have shed light on this topic.
In developing countries, the use of automated breast ultrasound may help to address challenges in national mammography screening related to cost, equipment installation, implementation, and low adoption rates, according to a new study.
In another positive story, French researchers have reported that PET/CT successfully identified parathyroid adenomas, or benign tumors of the parathyroid glands, in patients who subsequently underwent surgical treatment.
