Great initiatives, great ideas. #CIRSE2024 will be patient centred and science driven, with our initiatives continuing to spark important conversations and foster innovation in minimally invasive, image-guided medicine. Our established programmes have evolved into stand-alone brands that IR professionals worldwide recognize for their high-quality standards. We are also excited to launch new endeavours with high hopes for what they may become. IDEAS, the Interdisciplinary Endovascular Aortic Symposium, has been a part of CIRSE since 2015 and exemplifies the importance of a multidisciplinary approach. As interventional radiology continues to advance and establish its role within the broader medical community, collaboration with physicians from other specialities is more crucial than ever. IDEAS demonstrates the potential that collaboration unlocks. https://bit.ly/3y3UtTg The Radiation Protection Pavilion debuted at CIRSE 2014 and has since become a cornerstone of the congress. This year’s theme, “Moving from radiation protection to safety culture,” reflects the evolution in radiation protection. With the basic knowledge of equipment and practices in radiation protection now well-established, the door is open to focus on optimization. https://bit.ly/3WYXaxC   CIRSE’s brand-new initiative this year will be SPHAIRE, shining a spotlight on AI and emerging technologies in IR. This interactive area dedicated to deepening the understanding of what emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, can bring to IR will be launched at CIRSE 2024 – and it is my hope that it will become an integral part of the congress. I look forward to seeing it evolve in the coming years! https://bit.ly/3VWE8rd #AI #IR #IRAD

Just 5 weeks to Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)‘s yearly gathering! Let me draw your attention to a must-attend session during the show. Join my colleague Thierry Verstraete, one of our brilliant minds at GE HealthCare, as he explains how we’re enabling connected care in today’s dynamic diagnostic networks. Healthcare is evolving as patients seek care across multiple locations, from primary providers to specialists and beyond. With data volume surging, keeping imaging records in isolated silos no longer works. Instead, providers need seamless access to imaging data, enabling faster, more informed decisions without the need for repeat exams. In our Innovation Theater session, Thierry will elaborate on cutting-edge solutions for real-time links between providers and imaging data, supporting a more connected and efficient healthcare experience. Learn how we at GE HealthCare are helping to redefine radiology with enterprise imaging strategies that are transforming patient care. Here are the details: https://lnkd.in/evCzUZEt See you in the Windy City! #RSNA2024 #ConnectedCare #GEHealthCare #EnterpriseImaging #Radiology

🔬 We are excited to announce a groundbreaking achievement by Boston Scientific Scientific in Turkiye! We have successfully launched the Avvigo+ platform for the first time in Turkey at Konya City Hospital, where Dr. Turgut Uygun performed a complex case using the advanced features of Avvigo+. This case was supported by Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) technology, showcasing how Avvigo+ can simplify even the most challenging procedures. 🏥 We extend our heartfelt thanks to MAS Medikal-Turkey or their invaluable support in making this case a success. Key features of the Avvigo+ platform: 💡 Enhanced Imaging: Provides high-resolution images for clearer visualization of intravascular structures. 🚀 Innovative Technology: Enables faster and more accurate decision-making in complex cases with the help of Artificial Intelligence. With Avvigo+, we are pushing the boundaries of intravascular imaging, making complex cases more manageable and enhancing patient outcomes. #BostonScientific #AvvigoPlus #IVUS #MedicalInnovation #HealthcareTechnology #Cardiology

A Decade of Transformative Evolution: The MAGNETOM World RT Community by Elena Nioutsikou (Varian, a Siemens Healthineers Company, Forchheim, Germany)   Over the past ten years, the landscape of magnetic resonance imaging in #radiotherapy (MR in RT) has undergone a remarkable evolution. From its beginnings in 2015 with innovative articles from field pioneers detailing their first experiences, the #MAGNETOMworld community has become a hub for knowledge sharing, advancing the adoption and clinical implementation of MR in RT.   The heartbeat that is driving this transformative journey is the strong peer-to-peer exchange. The community collaboratively compiled a white paper on commissioning and quality assurance for MAGNETOM systems, based on the recommendations of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) Task Group 284. Elena Nioutsikou invites you to explore the community’s resources. Discover the protocols that can be downloaded directly onto MAGNETOM systems. These protocols, contributed by users worldwide, come complete with patient setup instructions and invaluable tips for seamless workflow.
