Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
The approach of spring is a special time of year for every sports fan, but particularly tennis enthusiasts. The Madrid Open in early May signals the start of the European season, and the top players use it to warm up for the Grand Slam events.
What's it like to be in charge of imaging at such a major event? We caught up with global radiologist Dr. Ara Kassarjian during ECR 2019, and you won't want to miss our short video interview. Find out more in the MRI Community.
Professor Paul Parizel, PhD, is an inspirational speaker, and he lit up the European Society of Radiology (ESR) General Assembly on the final day of ECR 2019. His mantra for radiology's future leaders proved a fitting reward for delegates who stayed to the end of the congress.
Prompt identification and management of the pulmonary toxicity of cancer immunotherapies can be of great clinical value. When an adverse event is suspected, high-resolution CT tends to be the preferred modality, and it can serve as a useful imaging biomarker to assess drug toxicity, according to new research from Barcelona, Spain. Go to the CT Community.
When it comes to major international conferences, you can never start planning too soon. One person already thinking ahead to ECR 2020 is Professor Boris Brkljačić from Zagreb, Croatia, the incoming ESR president, and he shares his thoughts and ideas for next year's congress.
Away from ECR, German researchers have used augmented reality technology to display MRI and CT scans, thereby offering a new, interactive learning method to medical students and improving their understanding of anatomy and radiology. Visit the Advanced Visualization Community.
Also, a Dutch group has compared the performance of a deep learning-based software application to that of more than 100 radiologists on nine diverse datasets of screening mammograms. You can learn about their findings in the Women's Imaging Community.
