The get up patient transfer aid from febromed addresses the challenge of musculoskeletal complaints in radiology professionals by supporting patients during standing up, repositioning and transfer.
“A small handle with a big impact.” Radiographers at Rheinland Klinikum Neuss in Germany report measurable physical relief in daily patient transfers thanks to the ceiling-mounted patient transfer aid febromed get up®.
Sword Intelligence applies AI to triage and care coordination, reporting a 70% cut in musculoskeletal waiting lists and a fourfold boost in operational capacity.
Transgender patients are largely invisible in breast cancer screening statistics – and many never receive an invitation to participate in screening programmes. Guidelines exist, but awareness among referring physicians remains low. Experts say radiology departments are best positioned to lead the change by creating inclusive environments and actively reaching out to this underserved population.…
Integrating the patient’s voice: A new study shows access to patient-reported outcome (PRO) data improves the consistency of the evaluation of treatment-related side effects in patients with cancer.
☺️💊📞: Emojis are increasingly used in patient communication, a new study finds. This can help build trust and emphasize critical information, but may also lead to misunderstanding.
Mobile Stroke Units, equipped with a CT scanner, point-of-care laboratory, and communications capabilities, could reduce unnecessary emergency department transfers by 86%, a new study finds.
Despite significant advances in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, a new Danish study shows that social inequities in survival have remained virtually unchanged over the past 20 years.
Breast cancer screening for women under 50 isn't cost-effective – yet 1 in 5 diagnoses occurs in this age group. A new study suggests a personalised approach that could change this equation.
Breast imaging for male and transgender patients remains an under-researched field with significant gaps in guidelines and clinical practice. At the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) annual scientific meeting, experts presented findings from a pan-European survey on male breast imaging and announced plans for a similar initiative focusing on transgender patients.
Many women over 50 schedule mammograms for breast cancer but miss out on CT lung cancer screenings they're also eligible for. Targeted outreach coul help change this, a new study shows.
People with diabetes face a higher risk of sudden cardiac death, a new study finds. Alarmingly, the increase in risk is especially noticeable among younger adults.
Should women be told about their high breast density as part of mammography screening? While this may sound like an obvious choice, a new study warns of unintended effects.
At the 2025 Journées Francophones de Radiologie (JFR), novelist, diplomat, and physician Jean-Christophe Rufin took the stage to remind an audience of radiologists that medicine, at its core, is a human story – one that needs to be told, felt, and shared. Beneath the cold light of MRI scanners and the hum of technology, he reintroduced something fragile yet essential: empathy.
Thousands of NHS knee replacement operations are cancelled at short notice every year, many for avoidable reasons, a new study shows. This costs the NHS millions of pounds and increases waiting times.
Breast cancer – including aggressive variants – are surprisingly common in younger women, a new study shows. The findings strengthen the case for earlier, risk-tailored screening, the authors say.
A new study shows that complications after stent surgery are more common in individuals with diabetes. The results emphasise the importance of tailoring treatment strategies for this patient group.
A new solution enables doctors to show 3D images of a patient's anatomy during consultations. The technology is designed to help patients understand their conditions and make informed choices.
A patient reports with chest pain, but in the coronary angiogram, the main heart arteries look clear, so it cannot be angina – right? A new study reveals that this approach can easily lead to misdiagnosis.
Just like the “ABCDE” mnemonic for melanoma awareness, researchers hope their diagnostic tool will transform how doctors approach persistent rashes, reminding them to consider lymphoma sooner.
Type 1 diabetes is demanding for patients. A new study shows the benefits of a systematic, intensive treatment with remote monitoring of glucose levels and weekly healthcare contact.
Many doctors shy away from discussing the aspect of a treatment's sustainability with their patients, expecting a negative reaction. Now, a new study suggests that these fears may be unfounded.
Overcrowded EDs and the escalating workload of nurses are pressing challenges in emergency medicine. While AI might not solve these problems, it could help staff mitigate them, new research suggests.
Asking people how much money they would accept to experience pain again can provide a more accurate and comparable measure of pain levels than the familiar 1–10 scale, according to new research.
Hospitalists frequently discuss the risks associated with tests, treatments, and/or surgical procedures with their patients. But is everyone in the clear on what a “slight risk of complications” actually means? A session on the meaning of risk to patients and how to effectively communicate risk was discussed at SHM Converge 2025, the annual meeting of the Society of Hospitalist Medicine.
