Decentralised clinical trials: going green

Decentralised clinical trials are held in high regard in terms of climate impact, but are they as sustainable as they seem?

Review of the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2022

‘BUILDING bridges’ was the running theme of the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) 2022. This theme was carried throughout a special range of sessions that focused on the interaction between radiologists and other specialists, but also within radiology, improving practice, patient outcomes, and efficiencies.

Radiologic–Pathologic Correlation in 1-Year Follow-Up After COVID-19 Infection

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic has already infected millions of people worldwide, with 5–10% of cases leading to severe pneumonia. Although the majority improve over time, some patients may progress to post-COVID-19 interstitial lung disease.

Early Diffusion-Weighted MRI at 3 Tesla Detects Ischaemic Changes of the Optic Nerve in Anterior Ischaemic Optic Neuropathy

Anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION) is the most common acute optic neuropathy in older patients. Its annual incidence is 2.3–10.2 cases per 100,000 persons over 50 years.

The Role of Radiologists in Screening Programmes for Lung and Prostate Cancer

DETECTING cancer at an early stage is a multi-faceted challenge for clinicians. Screening programmes aid identification of disease before symptoms arise, when prognosis is likely to be better. However, several barriers affect implementation, uptake, and delivery of these programmes.

Dual-Energy CT as an Adjunct to Evaluate the Significance of Type II Endoleaks After Endovascular Aneurysm Repair

Endoleak is the drawback of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), and is defined as the continued blood flow inside the remnant abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) sac despite stent-graft deployment.

Quantification of Enhancement Intensity and Pattern of Benign and Malignant Lesions in Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography and Its Correlation with MRI Enhancement Patterns

Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) is an emerging diagnostic imaging technique with a high breast cancer detection rate but limited diagnostic specificity. Published studies have proven that CESM has similar accuracy to MRI for the detection of breast cancer, and can also give information about lesion vascularity and dynamics.

Tackling the trust gap in genomic medicine

How can pharma tackle public mistrust in genomic medicine?

How Can Mathematical Modelling Combat Malaria?

Researchers have developed a mathematical model to help fight malaria by predicting genetic resistance to antimalarial drugs. The research team used data from the WWARN to track the prevalence of genetic markers indicating resistance.
