Building bridges for US medical researchers • healthcare-in-europe.com
With the increasing restrictions on independent research opportunities and academic freedom in the USA, the Else Kröner-Fresenius Foundation (EKFS) is launching a new funding programme to offer outstanding medical researchers from the United States a long-term perspective in Germany.
‘The future of breast MRI is bright’ • healthcare-in-europe.com
Breast MRI has emerged as a powerful diagnostic tool, particularly for women with dense breast tissue where traditional mammography faces limitations. In her presentation at ECR 2025, radiographer Hanna Kalliomäki highlighted several technological advances transforming breast cancer detection and diagnosis. From time-saving abbreviated protocols and AI-assisted analysis to contrast-free diffusion techniques and molecular imaging, these techniques are reshaping how radiographers approach breast cancer screening and diagnosis.
Study explores reasons behind high aggressiveness of pancreatic cancer • healthcare-in-europe.com
A study by researchers from the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, IIBB-CSIC-IDIBAPS, Mayo Clinic, IBYME (CONICET), and CaixaResearch Institute demonstrates the role of the Galectin-1 protein in the nucleus of the cells surrounding the tumor-fibroblasts-contributing to their activation.
After stroke: new approach favors medication over surgery • healthcare-in-europe.com
European research led by University College London (UCL), together with Amsterdam University Medical Center (UMC) and the University of Basel shows that a significant proportion of patients who suffer a stroke due to carotid artery narrowing can be treated with medication only.
Handheld detector is a "Swiss Army knife" for radiation safety • healthcare-in-europe.com
The University of Jyväskylä, in collaboration with the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), has developed a new type of handheld multi-purpose radiation detector that comprehensively detects all types of ionizing radiation.
Nuclear medicine: Innovations, challenges, and new horizons • healthcare-in-europe.com
Nuclear medicine (NM), one of the more mature technologies of diagnostic imaging, has been experiencing a rebirth in innovation and interest. The increasing prevalence of cancer, in part the result of improved diagnostic tests, an aging global population, and greater longevity, has created a robust demand for nuclear medicine. At the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, presenters explored market perspectives, but also safety and sustainability challenges.

Researchers of the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) and the Institut d’Investigacions Biomèdiques August Pi i Sunyer (IDIBAPS)-Hospital Clínic de Barcelona have developed novel lymph-node-inspired hydrogels that significantly enhance the activation, gene expression, and proliferation of CAR T cells.
How to teach an LLM to think like a clinician • healthcare-in-europe.com
While generative AI shows immense potential for healthcare, a critical reliability issue lurks beneath the surface: LLMs don't think like doctors do, a data science expert explained at the Emerging Technologies in Medicine (ETIM) congress in Essen. This potentially fatal flaw, however, may be fixable, he suggested.
