It's been a year since we went live, but medicalphysicsweb remains a work in progress. Watch this space for our new print supplement, more blogging and the rest.

Convergence in imaging: it's all about coordination

The integration of structural and functional imaging has big implications for research and clinical practice in Europe. A proactive response looks like the way to go.

Biomedical optics: getting ready to shine

The future of diagnostic imaging will be all about the fusion of once discrete modalities and the rise of biomedical optics.

Watching the directives: big trouble for MRI

A directive designed to protect European Union workers may inadvertently make it illegal to carry out millions of MRI examinations. It's time for a rethink.

Multimodal thinking: the case for PET/MRI

First there was PET. Then there was PET/CT. Now researchers and engineers are turning their attention to the fusion of PET and MRI technologies.

Number crunch: why cancer screening has to add up

New European cancer figures demand a proactive response from governments, senior health professionals and the biomedical research community.
