Multipurpose CT lung cancer screening more cost-effective

CT lung cancer screening is likely to be more cost-effective if it is used to identify other tobacco-related conditions in high-risk people, according to a study published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.

Initial stress echo safe, cheap for high-risk patients

Stress echocardiography is as effective and cheaper than direct referral to invasive coronary angiography in chest pain patients with a high pretest probability of coronary artery disease -- and appears competitive with rival coronary CT angiography as an initial exam.

MRI shows even moderate drinking harms brain

MRI results have revealed that even moderate drinking is linked to declines in brain health. The results of the 30-year study have important public health implications because alcohol consumption affects such a large percentage of the population, concludes a new study in BMJ.

Fast cardiac MR scan can boost patient care

A fast and relatively cheap cardiovascular MR (CMR) scan is a cost-effective way to scan large volumes of patients with a wide range of suspected heart conditions, said researchers from Peru in a presentation on 26 May at the EuroCMR 2017 meeting in Prague.

Hands-on approach can bring success in cardiac training

The rising demand for cardiac imaging and the rapid development of technology mean trainees often are squeezed for time, but there are several essential ingredients for successful training in cardiac imaging that will equip facilities for the future, according to Dr. Francesca Pugliese, PhD.

When war hits your radiology department

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

More than 2,881 attacks on healthcare in Ukraine have been documented since February 2022. At ECR 2026, a radiologist from Kyiv walked a room of European colleagues through what that actually means for a department, and what to do before it happens to yours.

ECR: The scan you've already done: Body composition's missing picture

By Claudia Tschabuschnig

The argument for body composition in radiology is not about acquiring new data, but about reading what's already there. At ECR 2026, two sessions made the case that every CT scan already holds information that could change a patient's prognosis. Most of it is never reported.
