Dear CT Insider,
Whenever you think of pulmonary embolism imaging, the chances are that Prof. Martine Remy-Jardin comes to mind. She's conducted many important studies in this area over the past three decades.
Remy-Jardin's research group in Lille, France, is still going strong, and it has published the findings of a new lung perfusion study this week. The research focuses on dual-energy CT of systemic sclerosis, and as you'd expect, the authors have done a comprehensive job.
In our second article posted today, we bring you a summary of Prof. Mathias Prokop's latest thoughts on the future development of CT. He identified four important technological trends, and you can find out more in our news report from his ECR 2022 session.
The new European Society of Radiology president, Dr. Adrian Brady from Cork in Ireland, specializes in interventional and abdominal radiology, so it's safe to say that CT advances will feature prominently in the program for ECR 2023. In a video interview recorded on the final day of ECR 2022, Brady has spoken about his plans and priorities for next year's congress.
Should patient shielding stay or should it go? This topical question was addressed in a well-attended session at ECR 2022 that included a lively debate among Irish experts in radiation safety.
In other news from ECR, researchers from Maastricht University in the Netherlands have developed a machine-learning algorithm to aid in classifying renal cysts based on a CT radiomics signature. In testing, the model yielded a promising level of performance.
Last but not least, we have a thought-provoking story about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on CT dose.
In this newsletter, we've pinpointed a small selection of the many articles posted in the CT Community over recent weeks. Please scroll through the full list below, and feel free to contact me if you have ideas for future coverage.
