Putting β-glucan testing into everyday practice for fungal infections

Invasive fungal infections are notoriously hard to catch early, and even harder to rule out with confidence. At CHU Bordeaux, Dr Frédéric Gabriel has spent years refining how his lab uses β-D-glucan (BDG) testing to sharpen that judgement call – including with the Wako β-glucan test. In this interview, he explains what the guidelines say, what actually happens at the bench, and where he…

When metal meets magnet: Implant safety in MRI

From tissue heating to image artifacts – implants were once considered an absolute contraindication to MRI. Modern implant design and evolving safety standards have changed that picture considerably – yet misconceptions persist, even among imaging professionals. At the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, a dedicated session set out to address those misconceptions head-on.
