Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
Over the past year or so, artificial intelligence (AI) has become the buzz phrase in medical imaging. AI features prominently on the programs of major congresses, and our sister site, AuntMinnie.com, has even launched a dedicated Artificial Intelligence Community.
To shed more light on this topic, we asked two leading experts to explain why European radiologists really need to pay closer attention to AI. They're helping to organize an important meeting on the subject in November, so they should know their stuff. Read more in the Imaging Informatics Community, or click here.
Safety means everything in MRI, so it's not surprising that an incident at a large public hospital in Paris has caused concern. Metal fibers in a patient's blanket meant it nearly caught fire. What exactly happened and what lessons can you learn from the incident? Find out in the MRI Community, or click here.
According to a Swedish human rights group, radiologist Dr. Murat Acar has found himself caught up in a government clampdown in Turkey and is in jail. For the full story, click here.
Rapid progress is being made in the cinematic rendering of medical images. German and Italian groups have collaborated with U.S. colleagues in this area, and now they've published their findings. Go to our Advanced Visualization Community, or click here.
The future of radiographers has come under close scrutiny. New analysis concludes that a concerted and carefully planned approach to career development is essential if the profession is to thrive. Click here for the details.
Finally, don't miss this week's case report from the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in the U.K. It features a 47-year-old man who presents with acute knee pain and "giving way" following a skiing accident. Test yourself here.
