Fighting Inequality: Pioneering Research in Endometriosis

This episode focuses on endometriosis and discusses current and new innovative ways for diagnosing this condition.

Interview: Thomas Huizinga

Since I was in high school I have always found these topics very interesting. But I was also very interested in pathogenesis and wanted to know how biology works.

Interview: Katherine P. (Kathy) Andriole

Through my engineering work, I was particularly interested in signal processing, and signals in computers are really just ones and zeros that you can manipulate mathematically.

Welcome to the latest issue of EMJ Radiology! We are proud to share with you research, case reports, and features that highlight key topics in the field.

Radiographers at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR 2023)

The 2023 European Congress of Radiology (ECR), with its ‘Cycle of Life’ theme, returned to Vienna, Austria, at its traditional time in March. There were over 1,000 radiographers registered, and the Radiographers’ Scientific Sub-Committee, expertly led by Nejc Mekiš and Kevin O’Regan, had prepared an excellent selection of 35 radiographer-focused sessions.

Interventional Treatment in Small-Sized Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Microwave Ablation: Evaluation of Local Response and Survival

To retrospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of CT-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) of small-sized (≤2 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) regarding therapy response and survival rates. The goal is to compare data from minimal invasive treatments like MWA and radiofrequency ablation in comparison to surgical resection or data from liver transplantation.

Retrospective Single Centre Study to Evaluate the Use of Targeted Radiofrequency Ablation Followed by Vertebroplasty in Difficult-to-Reach Metastatic Spinal Lesions

The high incidence of bone metastases, particularly vertebral metastases, in patients with cancer and the limitations of conventional treatments are the main challenge for the interventional oncology specialty.

ECR 2023 Congress interview: Adrian Brady

You attended medical school in Dublin, Ireland, before training as a staff radiologist in Canada. Do you feel that travelling was an integral part of you making it to where you are today?

Contrast-Enhanced Cone-Beam Breast CT-Guided Biopsies in Breast Phantoms: Accuracy, Rate of Diagnostic Success, and Total Intervention Time

Vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) is performed when a breast lesion appears suspicious at imaging examinations. Although several different modalities can guide the biopsy, some lesions can only be visualised by imaging modalities that can depict tumour neo-angiogenesis. For this type of lesion, MRI is the most sensitive modality when lesions are occult at second-look ultrasound or mammography.

ECR 2023 Congress interview: Andrew England

I think there were two reasons I chose radiography. I was always interested in technology when I grew up; anything that had a plug on it, or anything that was the latest technology, I was interested in and wanted to try out. But I also enjoyed the idea of caring for people, so radiography was a good opportunity to mix technology with patient care.
