A 62-year-old man was admitted to our hospital, after spending time in a peripheral hospital for having large liver mass. Past medical history includes HBV-infection.

An abdominal CT scan showed the presence of a liver mass and pulmonary nodular lesions suggestive of metastasis.

This prospective, dual-center study compares liver stiffness measurements obtained by three elastographic techniques, using histology as a gold standard. MR Elastography yields higher diagnostic accuracy than transient elastography and point shear-wave elastography. (Eur Radiol).

This prospective study investigates the role of imaging in diagnosing peripheral mononeuropathy using high-resolution ultrasound and MR neurography, and taking electrodiagnostic findings as a gold standard. Proton density fat-saturated MR sequence had the highest sensitivity, while T1 MR sequence had the highest specificity. High-resolution ultrasound might serve as a screening tool. (Insights Imaging).

This study evaluates the inter- and intra - observer variation of semiautomated body composition segmentation of abdominal CT images in both healthy and diabetic subjects. It discloses high reproducibility and a very low level of operator dependability. (Eur Radiol Exp).

The AI blog spoke with founder and CEO of icometrix, Wim Van Hecke, on the state of AI. This technology has become valuable in its ability to improve workflow, but its efficiency depends on reliable data on which to train.

This article provides a critical overview of the role of 4D CT in the assessment of wrist kinematics and its ability to diagnose pathology. The advantages of the technique and its current problems are addressed. (Bone Joint J).

This study evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of contrast-enhanced transrectal US in patients with prostate cancer, using radical prostatectomy specimens as the gold standard. (Urology).

Together with the European Institute for Biomedical Imaging Research (EIBIR), the ESR launched a new seed funding programme for innovative one-year projects and pilot studies on AI or cardiac imaging.

More information about the ESR Research Seed Grants and details on how to apply are available on the ESR and EIBIR websites.

Application Deadline: January 15, 2020 (11:59 am CET)

EIBIR is pleased to announce the start of the AlternativesToGD project. During the next three years, the project will develop a new class of gadolinium-free contrast agents for MR imaging, which are safe and completely washed out after injection.

The consortium consists of 10 partners with expertise in the development of MR imaging and contrast agent development.
