A busy few days for the Leicester PMCT team - we've run courses for East Midlands specialty trainees, and our main radiologist course had delegates from all corners of the UK. The next radiologist course is 5-7 October 2026 [book via uhl-tr.pmradiologymailbox@nhs.net].

Earlier today I delivered my lecture on MRI of acute abdominal pain in pregnancy at #ECR2026 in Vienna, covering the imaging challenges and how MRI helps achieve an early and accurate diagnosis to prevent adverse outcomes. I’m here for a couple more days, so please say hello if you see me!

but if this person ever gets appendicitis, it may have atypical presentation. I wonder if even the appendix being stuck in this hernia location might make it more prone to appendicitis. (cc my colleague and friend @thexraydoctor.org , because I know how much he loves this stuff).

I'm at #ECR2026 next week. If you're around, please do say hello, and come along to my talk on Wednesday 4th March on MR imaging of acute abdominal pain in pregnancy (or watch at home if you are attending virtually). See you there!

The Midlands National Radiology Conference was a fantastic event. Huge credit to Abigail Easterbrook and the Leics Rad Soc for organising. Great to speak alongside RCR President Stephen Harden and AI expert Indrajeet Das. Inspiring to see such enthusiasm for radiology from medical students.

Happy new year #WQuers. Almost had a disastrous start to 2026 but managed to hold on to my streak! Wordle 1,657 6/6* ⬛⬛🟨⬛🟩 ⬛🟩⬛⬛🟩 ⬛🟩⬛⬛🟩 ⬛🟩⬛⬛🟩 ⬛🟩⬛🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
