Thyroid nodules are a common pathology having a prevalence of 19-76% when screened with ultrasound, with higher frequencies in women. Current medical methods used to assess the malignancy of a nodule consist in performing an ultrasound, followed by a Doppler ultrasound, and then a biopsy. However, unfortunately, these methods present both low specificity and low sensitivity. This insufficient effectiveness in accurately being able to diagnose thyroid tumors leads to many unclear or unnoticed cases as well as many others that...

The European Society of Radiology is proud to have been awarded the European Commission Tender ‘European co-ordinated action on improving justification of computed tomography’ (acronym: EU-JUST-CT). 

The project started on 7 April 2021 and will last until March 2024. The formal kick-off meeting with the European Commission took place yesterday, on 20 May 2021.

April 16, 2021 - This week, the European School of Radiology (ESOR) held its very first online AIMS seminar hosted by Mexico. The course, which focussed exclusively on the topic of ultrasound, was run in partnership with the Mexican Federation of Radiology and Imaging (FMRI) and the Mexican Society of Radiology (SMRI), and was supported by Bracco. With 724 attendees, the success and popularity of the seminar once again demonstrated the huge potential that online learning offers for the medical...

The EUCLID (European Study on Clinical Diagnostic Reference Levels for X-ray Medical Imaging) project, a 33-month European Commission tender project run by the European Society of Radiology which began in August 2017, has come to a successful conclusion with the publication of European Commission Radiation Protection series publication 195: European study on clinical diagnostic reference levels for X-ray medical imaging.

The concept of Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) has been introduced to highlight unusually high or low patient...

Several major radiological societies have collaborated and co-published an important paper on the value contributed to healthcare by radiology, explaining also how that value may be measured, recognised and augmented. The paper was written by representatives of the European Society of Radiology (ESR), American College of Radiology (ACR), Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR), Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) and International Society for Strategic Studies in Radiology...
