Dear AuntMinnie member:
It’s conference season, and here at AuntMinnie we’re out and about learning about new research and trends in medical imaging. The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) annual meeting has been ongoing this week in Philadelphia, while the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) annual meeting began May 30 in Los Angeles. (Access our full coverage of SNMMI on our ShowCast — starting with a video interview with current SNMMI president Jean-Luc Urbain, MD, PhD, on how the meeting is putting “science in the spotlight.”)
In fact, AIUM coverage piqued readers’ interest this week, especially an interview with current AIUM president David Jones, MD, on ultrasound’s evolving role and our coverage of a keynote delivered by Alison Noble of the University of Oxford in England on the use of AI with ultrasound. Also of interest to AuntMinnie members were articles that reported on presentations regarding point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in pediatric ICUs and how ultrasound helps find nanoplastics in endometrial polyps.
Finally, two other popular articles this week highlighted research on an AI-powered MRI technique that maps brain fluid flow associated with Alzheimer’s and how to mitigate overconfidence in medical decision-making.
Here’s the full list of our top stories:
- AIUM president talks annual meeting, ultrasound’s evolving role
