Technology trends at ECR 2023: What can you expect in Vienna?

Central themes at ECR 2023 look set to be efficiency gains and workforce challenges, particularly radiologist burnout, skills shortages, and sustainability. That's the view of market analysts at Signify Research, who have assessed the state of play in Europe ahead of the congress.

A.) Rate of imaging utilization during surveillance by year, 2008 to 2022. B.) Rate of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and pancreatic surgery per 100 person years, 2008 to 2022.

Surveillance imaging doesn't improve pancreatic cancer survival

Emergency 400

ED patients prefer empathetic communication for incidental findings

Representative axial fused F-18 FDG-PET/MRI images and corresponding anatomic MRI images from a patient imaged at baseline and after initiation of androgen deprivation therapy are shown. Each row displays a distinct vascular territory. White arrows indicate focal areas of increased tracer uptake within the arterial wall, where spherical volumes of interest (VOIs) were placed for maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) measurement. Additional VOIs were placed in the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava for blood-pool activity sampling. SUVmax values from the arterial VOIs were extracted on the corresponding PET images and normalized to the blood-pool mean standardized uptake value to derive the maximum target-to-background ratio.

Surveillance imaging doesn't improve pancreatic cancer survival

By Amerigo Allegretto

Study authors are calling for better strategies for early detection and intervention for pancreatic cysts that become malignant.

PET/MRI detects arterial inflammation in prostate cancer patients

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is widely used in advanced prostate cancer, yet is associated with increased cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attacks.

MRI may help predict heart disease risk in patients with diabetes

By Amerigo Allegretto

The SCAN-MRI risk score outperformed established risk models.

Representative cardiac MRI strain images and analysis. Images in the two-, four-, and three-chamber views for strain analysis (left) and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global early diastolic longitudinal strain rate (eGLSR) curves (right) are shown. (A) Example images and GLS and eGLSR curves in a 37-year-old male participant with diabetes mellitus (DM) without events during follow-up after cardiac MRI. (B) Example images and GLS and eGLSR curves in a 45-year-old male participant with DM who had heart failure hospitalization during follow-up after cardiac MRI. In the left images, blue represents higher myocardial strain (higher absolute values of negative strain), whereas red represents reduced strain. In the curves, blue represents GLS, whereas orange represents eGLSR. The left y-axis denotes GLS (%), the right y-axis represents eGLSR (per second), and the x-axis denotes time (milliseconds). For these strain parameters, a lower absolute value indicates more severe myocardial functional impairment; accordingly, GLS and eGLSR were more impaired in participants with events compared with those without events.

CT radiation doses have fallen sharply over past decade

The largest reductions appeared in chest examinations with contrast material, where diagnostic reference levels fell 31%.

July 28, 2026

Bar graphs show comparison of volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) (A) achievable doses (50th percentile) and (B) diagnostic reference levels (75th percentile) between 2014 (see reference 4 by Kanal et al) and 2025 (present study) for 10 common CT examination types performed without contrast (w/o) and with contrast (w/). Across all 10 adult CT examination categories, CTDIvol achievable doses and diagnostic reference levels generally decreased from 2014 to 2025, with the largest reductions for torso examinations (chest; abdomen-pelvis; and combined chest, abdomen, and pelvis), intermediate reductions for neck and cervical spine, and minimal change for head examinations.
