Dear AuntMinnie Member,
VIENNA - The European Congress of Radiology (ECR) is underway, with a variety of scientific, educational, and technology content being presented in the halls of the Austria Center Vienna.
We're bringing it all to you in our RADCast @ ECR, a special section featuring comprehensive coverage from our team of onsite journalists. For example, you'll find this story on how radiologists need to be ever vigilant when using mobile devices to read images or share cases with colleagues.
Maybe you've heard of CSI, but did you know it stands for "coronary scene investigation"? At least it does at ECR 2016, according to this article on results presented by a team of U.S. and German researchers who used automated plaque analysis from coronary CT scans to predict who might have a heart attack in the future.
Don't leave our ECR coverage without checking out the first of a series of videos from the conference in which Philip Ward, editor in chief of our AuntMinnieEurope.com sister site, interviews leading figures in European radiology and hears their thoughts on major issues facing the specialty. You'll find everything at radcast.auntminnie.com -- and remember to keep checking back for updates through Sunday.
Report from HIMSS
But ECR obviously isn't the only trade show going on this week. Across the world in Las Vegas, the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) meeting is wrapping up after a memorable week.
We also have reporters on hand at the Sands Expo Convention Center, covering the latest in healthcare information technology. For example, radiologists from a hospital in New York discuss how they used healthcare IT -- specifically workflow intelligence software -- to streamline their operations and keep better track of patients. Read more about how they did it by clicking here.
3D printing and wounded warriors
Finally, visit our Advanced Visualization Community for a fascinating article on how 3D printing is being used to manufacture custom prosthetics for wounded warriors, enabling them to resume many activities they enjoyed before being injured. That story is available by clicking here, or go to av.auntminnie.com.
