EU awards funding for e-learning project in breast imaging
The European Union has awarded funding to a consortium of radiology centers and multimedia design companies to foster the development of e-learning material for breast imaging. The E-Medi project is supported under the European Commission's Leonardo da Vinci program. Led by staff at the Demokritos research center in Athens, E-Medi will develop Internet/DVD material intended primarily for trainee radiologists.

The E-Medi project is supported under the European Commission's Leonardo da Vinci program. Led by staff at the Demokritos research center in Athens, E-Medi will develop Internet/DVD material intended primarily for trainee radiologists.
The E-Medi platform will mimic the decision-making experience of radiologists in a breast imaging center. Drawing on a range of mammograms, breast ultrasound, and MR images, it will provide trainees access to high-level breast imaging expertise, regardless of their location.
The E-Medi partners, based in Greece, Cyprus, Belgium, and the Republic of Ireland, expect this material to be a useful contribution to the standardization of radiology training methods in Europe. For more information, visit www.e-medi.org.
Study Reaffirms Low Risk for csPCa with Biopsy Omission After Negative Prostate MRI
December 19th 2024In a new study involving nearly 600 biopsy-naïve men, researchers found that only 4 percent of those with negative prostate MRI had clinically significant prostate cancer after three years of active monitoring.
Study Examines Impact of Deep Learning on Fast MRI Protocols for Knee Pain
December 17th 2024Ten-minute and five-minute knee MRI exams with compressed sequences facilitated by deep learning offered nearly equivalent sensitivity and specificity as an 18-minute conventional MRI knee exam, according to research presented recently at the RSNA conference.
Can Radiomics Bolster Low-Dose CT Prognostic Assessment for High-Risk Lung Adenocarcinoma?
December 16th 2024A CT-based radiomic model offered over 10 percent higher specificity and positive predictive value for high-risk lung adenocarcinoma in comparison to a radiographic model, according to external validation testing in a recent study.
