How Common Is Recurrent Radial Head Subluxation?
Discussion Radial head subluxation (RHS) is most commonly occurs in children 6 months – 4 years old. It occurs because of the anatomy and child development. The radius is connected to the ulna just distal to the radial head by an annular ligament that encircles the radius “neck” (i.e. radial diaphysis) and inserts into the ulnar tuberosity. However the annular ligament is relatively small and also not as fibrous in young children compared to older children and adults. Young children often have their arm extended upward to hold hands with an adult especially when they are new walkers. If the child stumbles...

Dark-field chest x-ray takes step forward
German developers of dark-field chest x-ray appear to have overcome a technical limitation of the technology – namely, adjusting for photon scattering caused by interferometers used in the experimental system. This scattering is picked up by the system’s detector (so-called “detector cross talk”) and leads to unwanted artifacts on patient chest x-rays, noted study lead and doctoral candidate Theresa Urban, of the Technical University of Munich, and colleagues. Ultimately, the group described a method to correct the phenomenon to produce better images. “With the corrections presented here … the obtained dark-f...

Body Vision validates software on Fujifilm systems
Body Vision Medical said it has validated the use of its LungVision 3D tomographic imaging system using Fujifilm Healthcare Americas’ C-arm platforms. The company's LungVision system uses AI to transform x-ray images from C-arms into real-time, intraoperative CT scans. This allows bronchoscopists to biopsy from smaller, more difficult-to-access lung lesions at an earlier stage, according to the firm. The software was deployed on Fujifilm’s Persona line of C-arms and FDR Cross two-in-one fluoroscopy C-arm and portable digital radiography system, Body Vision noted.

Green protocols can reduce radiology department energy consumption
Substituting less energy-consuming ultrasound for x-ray or CT reduced energy use by as much as 8% during diagnostic radiology processes and 31.2% during indirect radiology department activities, according to findings of a pilot study presented March 1 at ECR 2024. The green project conducted by radiographers at the European Institute of Oncology in Milan and nearby Hospital of Legnano saved an estimated 12,000 euros ($13,000), said Andrea Masperi, who presented the details. Masperi and colleagues conducted the study between January 2023 and June 2023. "Despite a few studies on this specific subject, it has emerged that ...

Radiographers optimistic about AI's role in future work
While radiographers are concerned about job security, they are also optimistic about AI’s role in their future workflows, according to a presentation given March 1 at ECR 2024. In her talk, Gemma Walsh from Whittington Health National Health Service (NHS) Trust in London, England outlined the attitudes and perceptions of radiographers -- the European equivalent to radiologic technologists -- in a project she and colleagues are leading called “R-AI-diographers.” “Radiographers appear optimistic about the future of radiographer job roles and responsibilities,” Walsh said. “But as we all know, the AI landscape i...

ECR: Implementing imaging referral guidelines shows positive impact
Implementing imaging referral guidelines not only supports value-based radiology but makes it easier to communicate with patients about low-value services, according to findings presented February 29 at ECR 2024. In an open forum, Yi Xiang Tay, of Singapore University Hospital's radiography and diagnostic imaging department, shared his team's research. It was the endnote of a series of sessions focused on optimizing radiology services. "Low-value imaging procedures result in an ineffective allocation of resources and imposes potential danger," Tay said. "This includes increasing patient costs, the rise of cancer, and inc...

ECR: 3 tips for developing a successful cardiac imaging practice
VIENNA -- It's definitely possible to develop a successful cardiac imaging practice, according to a professional development presentation delivered February 28 at the ECR in Vienna. It all comes down to a willingness to learn and to collaborate with colleagues across specialties, session chair and first presenter Dr. Matthias Gutberlet, PhD, of the University of Leipzig in Germany, told session attendees. "Teamwork is the key to success," he said. Gutberlet described how he came to cardiac imaging early in his medical career. At the time, there was little training for, say, cardiac MRI. But he persevered. "Imaging was ...
