Today, the third Clinical Trials in Radiology session at ECR 2018 took place. The first two Clinical Trials in Radiology sessions took place already the last two days at the new Sky High Stage in Vienna. The focus of the Clinical Trials in Radiology session today were again large clinical trials, this time highlighting two tomography breast cancer screening trials from Scandinavia both including more than 10,000 patients (Malmö and Bergen), a subanalysis of the MR Clean Trial, the NU-AGE trial, a large trial on dose reduction in CT called Partnership for Dose including more than 1 million examinations, and the long-term results of the AMACING trial. The session was strengthened by six discussants who provided their perspective on the clinical implications of the trials and was moderated by the immediate past president of the RSNA Professor Richard L. Ehman and Professor Marc Dewey (please see picture on the left).
