As part of your involvement in the British Institute of Radiology World Partner Network you have free access to the following BJR article:
Incidental findings in medical imaging
Dr Giles Maskell, MA, FRCR, FRCP
Department of Clinical Imaging, Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro, UK
Abstract
The success of medical imaging as a diagnostic tool has resulted in a continuing increase in its use. Technological advances mean that images are now acquired at higher resolution and in greater volumes than ever before. This has led to an increase in the detection of findings which do not appear to be related to the primary purpose of the examination and have been termed “incidental”. Many of these will be harmless but some will carry significant implications for the patient’s health. Determining which of these findings are significant and which may be safely disregarded is an increasing problem in radiology practice. Radiologists should familiarise themselves with the more common incidental findings in order to make the best possible estimation of their importance in each case and to allow them to make appropriate recommendations for further investigation where this is indicated. The decision to advise further investigation carries implications for the patient and the service as a whole and requires careful consideration.
For the purpose of this commentary, incidental findings (IF) are considered to include any findings not directly related to the primary purpose for which the imaging examination was undertaken.

Artificial intelligence in medical imaging: implications for patient radiation safety
As part of your involvement in the British Institute of Radiology World Partner Network you have free access to the following webinar:
Artificial intelligence in medical imaging: implications for patient radiation safety
Jarrel Seah, Zoe Brady, Kyle Ewert and Meng Law
Abstract
Artificial intelligence, including deep learning, is currently revolutionising the field of medical imaging, with far reaching implications for almost every facet of diagnostic imaging, including patient radiation safety. This paper introduces basic concepts in deep learning and provides an overview of its recent history and its application in tomographic reconstruction as well as other applications in medical imaging to reduce patient radiation dose, as well as a brief description of previous tomographic reconstruction techniques. This review also describes the commonly used deep learning techniques as applied to tomographic reconstruction and draws parallels to current reconstruction techniques. Finally, this paper reviews some of the estimated dose reductions in CT and positron emission tomography in the recent literature enabled by deep learning, as well as some of the potential problems that may be encountered such as the obscuration of pathology, and highlights the need for additional clinical reader studies from the imaging community.

Photon-counting CT – CT redefined
Dr Stefan Ulzheimer, PhD/Program Director Photon Counting CT
Overview
With photon-counting CT, we have developed a radically new technology for clinical routine. At its core is a new kind of detector that is substantially different from a standard energy-integrating detector. These photon-counting detectors have the potential to overcome the limitations of current CT detectors, by providing CT data at high spatial resolution, without electronic noise, and with inherent spectral information. Opening up the potential to scan more cardiovascular patients, overcoming compromises in lung imaging, and delivering consistent precision.

The 2nd ARI-BIR Joint FRCR Part 1 Physics Preparation Course 2022
 |
This course is aimed mainly at radiologists who are sitting for Part 1 FRCR Examination. This is probably the most comprehensive course available globally and we feel would benefit the applicants immensely. The candidates will get links to recordings of a large number of lectures by senior physicists from London’s top teaching hospitals. This will be followed by a mock exam on a platform that fully mirrors the one used by the RCR in the real exam. This is a globally unique offering. That will be followed by live tutorials for a week by senior faculty from London who will structure their teaching based on the results from the exam. This course can also be useful to radiologists who are pursuing other postgraduate radiology degrees and not just FRCR |

ABSTRACT
COVID-19 pneumonia is a newly recognized lung infection. Initially, CT imaging was demonstrated to be one of the most sensitive tests for the detection of infection. Currently, with broader availability of polymerase chain reaction for disease diagnosis, CT is mainly used for the identification of complications and other defined clinical indications in hospitalized patients. Nonetheless, radiologists are interpreting lung imaging in unsuspected patients as well as in suspected patients with imaging obtained to rule out other relevant clinical indications. The knowledge of pathological findings is also crucial for imagers to better interpret various imaging findings. Identification of the imaging findings that are commonly seen with the disease is important to diagnose and suggest confirmatory testing in unsuspected cases. Proper precautionary measures will be important in such unsuspected patients to prevent further spread. In addition to understanding the imaging findings for the diagnosis of the disease, it is important to understand the growing set of tools provided by artificial intelligence. The goal of this review is to highlight common imaging findings using illustrative examples, describe the evolution of disease over time, discuss differences in imaging appearance of adult and pediatric patients and review the available literature on quantitative CT for COVID-19. We briefly address the known pathological findings of the COVID-19 lung disease that may help better understand the imaging appearance, and we provide a demonstration of novel display methodologies and artificial intelligence applications serving to support clinical observations.

Dr Timor Kadir and Dr Rajarshi Banerjee
Will artificial intelligence or machine learning cure cancer? Will it replace doctors?
In this session, Dr Timor Kadir will discuss some of the real world applications of such technologies and go into some depth on two particular areas: stratification of patients with possible lung cancer and management of patients with chronic back pain. Both will be based around medical imaging and he will discuss what ML/AI can provide beyond what has been possible to date and its impact on the role of clinicians. Dr Rajarshi Banerjee's will discuss the use of quantitative MRI and big data to improve the care of patients with liver disease.
Thank you.

This multi-presenter webinar video is a case-based discussion and a survival guide on CT in diffuse interstitial lung disease. The learning points are:
1) To develop an approach to the interpretation of high resolution CT in patients with diffuse interstitial lung disease
2) To recognise common CT patterns of diffuse interstitial lung diseases
3) To understand the link between CT patterns, pathological process and diagnosis in diffuse interstitial lung disease.
Thank you.

The Role of Emergency Radiologists in the Management of Polytraumatized Patients
Professor Mariano Scaglione, Consultant Radiologist, Pineta Grande Hospital, Italy and Past President of the European Society of Emergency Radiology.
Overview
The role of radiologists in the emergency department has changed drastically in the past twenty years. In this lecture, you will learn about the role of emergency radiologists, showing how their role is significantly greater than simply writing a remote report. You will learn about practical scenarios such as detecting vascular injuries and how to advise and report the most critical cases in a timely/effective manner.
