Earlier this year at ECR, I spoke about MRI in acute abdominal pain during pregnancy, balancing diagnostic accuracy with fetal safety. Thanks to Healthcare in Europe for covering the session: healthcare-in-europe.com/en/news/imag...

Funny how the human eye reaches peak accuracy approximately 0.2 seconds after a report becomes uneditable.

A busy few days for the Leicester PMCT team - we've run courses for East Midlands specialty trainees, and our main radiologist course had delegates from all corners of the UK. The next radiologist course is 5-7 October 2026 [book via uhl-tr.pmradiologymailbox@nhs.net].

but if this person ever gets appendicitis, it may have atypical presentation. I wonder if even the appendix being stuck in this hernia location might make it more prone to appendicitis. (cc my colleague and friend @thexraydoctor.org , because I know how much he loves this stuff).

🎄 Festive imaging requests at Christmas. 🚀 Brussels sprouts contain raffinose. Colonic bacteria ferment it -> gas + smell. So an abdo x-ray/CT after sprouts may look extra gassy. 🩻 Like radiology, disliked early on, great when done right. ✨ Merry Christmas!
