Interpretation errors top clinical negligence claims in U.K.
VIENNA - Compared with the U.S., the U.K. is perhaps not seen as a strongly litigious country, but a new analysis of clinical negligence claims in radiology presented at the European Congress of Radiology reveals a clear rise in recent years in the number and financial burden of malpractice suits.

Expanding role of radiographers brings new challenges
VIENNA - New insurance laws, a keener recognition of patients' values, and an expanding list of professional duties amplify the pressure on radiographers to implement evidence-based practice. Early research findings from three Northern European pilot studies were discussed at the European Congress of Radiology.

New European regs spotlight need for clinical radiology audits
VIENNA - The term "audit" may strike fear into the hearts of even the finest organized radiology departments. But if performed well, clinical audits can be an effective way to support -- and even promote -- your radiology services, delegates heard Saturday at the European Congress of Radiology.

Automated breast US improves breast cancer detection
VIENNA - Automated breast ultrasound promises improved cancer detection when combined with standard digital mammography, but training is required for radiologists to realize its full clinical potential, according to results from a pair of new studies presented Friday at the European Congress of Radiology.

How I do it: CT perfusion in functional tumor imaging
Many hospitals make the decision to acquire CT perfusion technology and software primarily for stroke diagnosis; however, the technique can also yield valuable results in functional tumor imaging. That's according to Dr. Ken Miles, who explains how to optimize CT perfusion protocols to produce accurate and consistent tumor imaging results.

CAD may improve novice performance in pulmonary CTA
CT angiography (CTA) is an effective method for detecting pulmonary emboli, yet inexperienced readers may frequently miss filling defects when working alone or under pressure. New research suggests that computer-aided detection (CAD) software could serve as a valuable surrogate second reader.

7-tesla breast MRI shows advantages in first tests
The promise of a diagnostic advantage in mammography using powerful 7-tesla MRI was underlined by preliminary results presented at the European Congress of Radiology. Although image quality was improved compared to 1.5-tesla MRI, using such a powerful system might be problematic due to current patient safety rules.

ECR studies confirm impact of breast MRI on patient outcomes
VIENNA - With tissue-conservation procedures among the most common surgical treatments for breast cancer, imaging techniques that accurately probe the depths of disease status surely prove invaluable. Or do they? A pair of presentations from this week's European Congress of Radiology (ECR) sheds some light on the matter.

Could elastography replace conventional ultrasound-guided FNAC?
By Amerigo Allegretto
Strain elastography does not have additional benefits over conventional elastography-guided FNAC for diagnosing malignancy in thyroid nodules.
October 15, 2024
Images depict a 43-year-old woman with a solitary left-sided thyroid nodule classified at gray-scale ultrasound as category U3, upgraded to category U4 at strain elastography, and classified as category Thy4 at cytopathologic examination. Subsequent surgical histopathologic examination confirmed papillary cell carcinoma. (A) Longitudinal view of the left thyroid lobe demonstrates the low reflective nodule (between arrows) measuring 13 × 12 × 11 mm (not shown) and with a halo. (B) A longitudinal image with side-by-side visualization of the nodule (arrow) at gray scale (left) and strain elastography (right). The nodule is predominantly blue, indicating increased stiffness. (C) A longitudinal view shows the needle (arrows) within the stiffer aspect of the nodule for cytology sampling. U and Thy categories are according to British Thyroid Association system.
