MRI safety topics, along with the risk of cancer caused by lifetime exposure to CT, continue to be uppermost in the minds of the European medical imaging community, according to our list of top 10 articles for this year.
In March, we published a report about a TikTok video posted by a patient who had experienced pain during an MRI exam due to her hair extensions. This sparked a debate among safety experts about whether extensions represent a serious risk. Our report on this issue was the second most popular story of the year.
A month later, we broke the news in the English-language media about an MRI safety incident in Turku, Finland, involving a floor cleaning machine being sucked into a scanner. This turned out to be our most-viewed article in 2025.
Also during April, researchers suggested that cancers associated with radiation from CT scans could eventually account for 5% of all new cases annually. The study was published in JAMA Internal Medicine, and our report was the third most popular story among readers.
Below is the full top 10 list of articles on AuntMinnieEurope for the past year, as measured by page views. We hope you enjoy reading this list. Looking ahead, we relish the prospect of providing you with the news that matters in 2026.
