That's how an engaging presenter opened her talk about the state of academic radiology training in South Africa at ECR 2013. The reality, as displayed in the lectures at Saturday's "ESR meets South Africa" session, certainly lived up to the promise.March 9, 2013Molecular ImagingPET/MR shows great potential for detecting multifocal cancersVIENNA - PET/MRI allows superior early detection and evaluation of cancers as they disseminate around the body. That was the key message of Dr. Heinz-Peter Schlemmer in his talk in Saturday's new horizons session at ECR 2013.March 9, 20132013Las grandes cuestiones: What's the link between the finest Rioja and radiology?VIENNA - It was not entirely predictable, but Friday's "ESR meets Spain" session at ECR 2013 held the door wide open for whatever came its way. On this occasion, it manifested as an exploration somewhat off the beaten track of mainstream radiology, by discussing the parallels between biomarkers and Spanish wine.March 8, 2013MRIKeep aware of DWI capacity of new MRI systemsVIENNA - Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is viewed increasingly as an essential tool for detecting liver metastases, but experts said they would welcome improvements in signal-to-noise ratio, as well as better image resolution and sequences, among other developments, in Friday's state-of-the-art symposium on the abdomen at ECR 2013.March 8, 2013MRIGlobal radiologist leads the way in musculoskeletal trauma casesVIENNA - Go back to basic anatomy and mechanism of injury to understand which structures could possibly be injured in a particular scenario. That was the overriding message of a leading musculoskeletal radiologist in a lunchtime session on trauma on Thursday at ECR 2013.March 7, 2013MRIWarning: Staff with prosthetics may not be as safe as patientsVIENNA - Some prosthetic devices that pass as MR-compatible for patients may not be safe for radiographers and nurses, according to Dr. Nadia Oberhofer from South Tyrol, Italy. She spoke in a scientific session dedicated to MRI safety on Thursday at ECR 2013.March 7, 2013Nuclear MedicineCollaboration among specialties enhances prospects of cancer patientsVIENNA - Promoting more effective collaboration among radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and radiation oncologists to improve imaging and radiotherapy outcomes is a core principle underpinning the lectures in a special focus session on Friday at ECR 2013.March 7, 2013CTThe 'beauty' of the head and neck: From temporal bone to oral cavityVIENNA - General radiologists often shy away from the anatomical complexity of the temporal bone, but Dr. Bert De Foer, from GZA Hospital Sint-Augustinus in Antwerp, Belgium, provides both encouragement and inspiration, noting that he finds this anatomy to be one of the most intriguing regions of the human body.March 6, 2013Molecular ImagingMolecular advances boost evaluation of cancer treatment responseVIENNA - Advances in molecular imaging promise to make it realistic to identify differences in response of cancer cells to a specific treatment, and this information will eventually be used to better adapt therapies to a patient's specific needs.March 6, 2013Radiation Oncology/TherapyRadiotherapy cures breast cancer, but at what risk?Radiation therapy is an effective treatment for patients with early-stage breast cancer, but at what risk of developing other cancers? Findings from studies presented at last month's European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ESTRO) annual meeting document there is higher risk to these patients.June 16, 2011Previous PagePage 2 of 3Next PageTop StoriesISMRM 2024ISMRM: PET/MRI shows promise identifying musculoskeletal ‘pain generators’SINGAPORE -- PET/MRI is emerging as a viable tool for pinpointing locations of pain in people with chronic low back pain and persistent hip pain after total hip replacements.ISMRM 2024ISMRM: What's next for MRI applications for MSK trauma?Radiology EducationARRS: Consistent disparities found in radiology residency matchWomens ImagingARRS: DBT leads to less recalls among African American womenSponsor ContentIMV’s Oncology in Diagnostic Imaging Market Outlook Report
