Wien, 4. März 2016 – Bei bildgebenden Untersuchungen der Brust kann es, wie allgemein bekannt, gelegentlich zu Fehldiagnosen kommen, die je nach Modalität unterschiedlichen Ursprungs sein können. Insgesamt kann man von Erkennungs- oder Interpretationsfehlern sprechen, die hauptsächlich von der Dichte des Brustgewebes, dem Tumortyp, der Aufnahmetechnologie und den Fähigkeiten des Arztes beeinflusst werden. Wenn man sich die Fehlerquellen bei der Brust-Bildgebung genauer ansieht, stellt man fest, dass...

Optimised low dose CT protocols: the half slice thickness approach.

Wednesday, March 2, 2016 (ECR) – Computed tomography (CT) is an essential imaging modality that can be used to solve many clinical problems. Moreover, it is available all over the globe and in many areas even on a 24/7 basis. Over the last ten years much has been done to lower the radiation doses used in CT through technical innovations and the application of protocols based on the ALARA (As...

Sunday, March 8 (ECR) – Cardiac and thoracic diseases are often intertwined and can be diagnosed during the same examination. Cardiovascular and chest radiologists are therefore trying to broaden their focus, and they have a lot to teach each other. Speakers from both sides will discuss the challenges ahead in today’s New Horizons session at the ECR.

Radiologists must adopt a comprehensive approach because of the relationship between diseases of the heart and chest, according to Prof. Christian Loewe, deputy...

Wien, 26. März 2015. RadiologInnen sind immer auf der Suche nach den neuesten Möglichkeiten der Technik, um die Bildgebung möglichst schonend, bei möglichst großer Effizienz zu gestalten. Insbesondere bewahrheitet sich dies bei der Brustbildgebung, da die Mammografie aufgrund ihrer nicht funktionellen, zweidimensionalen Darstellung nicht die „perfekte“ Methode darstellt: sie kann bösartige Tumore übersehen und diagnostiziert auch biologisch irrelevante Erkrankungen, die nachfolgend übertherapiert werden.

Spezifische Brust CT mit niedriger Strahlungsdosis

Die Sensitivität und Genauigkeit der Mammografie ist im Vergleich zur MRT...

ECR 2015 to look at the communication between patients and radiologists.

Wednesday, March 4, 2015 (ECR) – Good communication between patients and doctors is essential for proper patient care. A session organised by the European Society of Radiology Patient Advisory Group (ESR-PAG) will focus on this crucial aspect of healthcare on Sunday at ECR 2015, said Nicola Bedlington, Secretary General of the European Patients’ Forum and Chairperson of ESR-PAG, ahead of the ECR Opening Press Conference on Wednesday.

“Doctors and...

The European Society of Radiology (ESR) welcomes yesterday’s publication of the ‘Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan’ by the European Commission and applauds the holistic approach, identified areas of action tackling all stages of the disease, the fostering of multi-stakeholder collaboration across all EU countries and the envisaged related EU funding to ensure successful implementation of the ambitious Plan.

The ESR fully supports the Plan’s focus on prevention to reduce cancer incidences through increased action on environmental and lifestyle factors as well...

The ESR Board of Directors is extremely saddened at the loss of Prof. Dr. Natalia Rotaru in autumn 2020. Natalia was the Chair of Radiology at the “Nicolae Testemiţanu” State University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Chisinau, Moldova and a great friend of the European Society of Radiology. Her commitment to imaging will be sorely missed. 

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...

December 2020 - This year saw three new centres awarded with certificates of excellence by the European Training Assessment Programme (ETAP 2.0) for the outstanding quality of their training programmes. Amongst the recently accredited centres is the Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, one of Europe’s largest and most well-renowned university hospitals, which was awarded a Platinum certification. Joining it were Klinikum Wilhelmshaven in Germany, which was awarded a Silver certification, and Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Sweden, which was awarded a Gold certification. ...

On November 8, tens of thousands of radiologists, radiographers and other medical professionals took part in the International Day of Radiology (IDoR). Engagement on the day was at an all-time high with people from all over the world embracing the theme, which was dedicated this year to all imaging professionals and their essential role in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.

Due to the pandemic, this year saw people marking IDoR in new and innovative ways, acknowledging the contributions of imaging to...
