Acceptance of gadolinium-free techniques increases in clinical MRI
Can MRI function effectively without gadolinium? This question is more relevant than ever, as the safety of gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents has become a hot topic and knowledge and awareness of gadolinium deposition have grown in recent years. Three experts discussed whether gadolinium alternatives are ready now for clinical practice.

3D printing transitions from laboratory to bedside
Three-dimensional printing has spread from craniomaxillofacial surgery to a wide range of medical disciplines, and it can help demonstrate the value of radiologists in a future with artificial intelligence and machine learning. That's the view of Dr. Philipp Brantner, joint head of the 3D Printing Lab at the University Hospital of Basel in Switzerland.

High mammography recall rates show diminishing returns
A new analysis of more than 11 million breast screening exams from the English National Health Service program has shown that increases in recall rates above defined levels are nearly always associated with false-positive recalls and a very small increase in detection of low/intermediate-grade ductal carcinoma in situ.

Cybersecurity threats pose challenge to radiology's future
Keep aware of the need to protect imaging equipment from cyberrisks that pose a threat to the safety of patients and institutions, urged Dr. Jacob Sosna, president of the Israeli Radiology Association, in a session today on cybersecurity. He warned that a cyberattack could alter a patient's radiation dose during a CT scan, and an attack on the hospital's air-conditioning may shut down and damage CT and MRI machines.

Under stress: Radiologists embrace novel ways to tackle burnout
Increasing workloads are among the factors leading to a rise in burnout among radiologists. They are tackling more cases, interpreting more images, and under increased pressure not to make mistakes, notes Dr. Myriam Hunink, PhD, from the Erasmus University Medical Centre in the Netherlands. But there are many practical things radiologists can do to avoid burnout, according to experts.

How radiology can find new roles in post-PACS, networked world
An unexpected consequence of PACS is that radiologists are increasingly sidelined by referring physicians, who can look at images to make a diagnosis and not even read the radiology report. This problem is confounded as physicians grow more specialized. Radiologists are in real danger if they don't change the way they work, according to Dr. Johan Van Goethem from Antwerp University Hospital in Belgium.
