Dear AuntMinnie Member,
Welcome to the new Saturday edition of our Week in Review newsletter, in which we summarize all the major news that happened last week in the world of radiology.
Physician burnout has been a major point of concern in healthcare, and radiology is no exception. It's therefore no surprise that an article that offers eight ways to prevent burnout among radiologists was our most-read story of the week. Find out what you can do by clicking here, or visit our Imaging Leaders Community.
Next on the list of top stories is an article on a curious study out of Switzerland claiming that men with beards might pose more of a hygiene risk in the MRI scanner than dogs. First, we have to wonder why dogs were in the MRI scanner to begin with, but maybe that's another story. Learn more by clicking here, or go to the MRI Community at mri.auntminnie.com.
Our top three stories are rounded out by this article on why traumatic injuries might be missed on whole-body CT scans of patients in the emergency room (ER). Being older than 30 years is one telltale sign -- find out what the other ones are in our CT Community at ct.auntminnie.com.
We also had a couple of breaking articles on Friday that you should be sure not to miss. Researchers from Florida examined whether daily chest x-rays are being overused for patients on mechanical ventilation. Learn more by clicking here.
And in our Women's Imaging Community, Canadian researchers found that while radiation therapy after lumpectomy for ductal carcinoma in situ can reduce mortality rates, the absolute reduction in risk might not be great enough to warrant its use routinely. Get the details by clicking here.
Finally, you have just one more week to let us know who should be nominated in the Minnies, our annual awards competition. Get started by clicking here, or go to minnies.auntminnie.com.
We hope you enjoy the weekend delivery of our newsletter -- as always, I'd love to hear your feedback. Just click on the link below my picture.
