Two Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3s in entered for 24 Hours of Spa… Newly founded Brussels Racing will enter two Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3s in the 24 Hours of Spa later this year The new team is the result of a cooperation between José Farasyn of Aston Martin Brussels and Belgian drivers Pierre Grivegnée and Michael Schmetz The team meanwhile already received recognition as a partner of Aston Martin Racing This last minute deal came about as Team GPR which raced both cars in national and international series as Pino Sperlinga is currently unavailable to fulfill his role as team boss Both Aston Martin V12 Vantage GT3s will again enter the 24 Hours of Spa this year with a yet to be determined lineup The cars pictured above will race in the Red Bull Mobile and Aston Martin Brussels liveries in the Belgian Racing Car Championship (BRCC) where they will be driven by an all-Belgian lineup consisting of Michael Schmetz Fred Bouvy and Pierre Grivegnée plus Tim Verbergt Vincent Wouters (@VinceWouters) is a Belgium-based sports car racing reporter providing coverage primarily of the Blancpain GT Series GT Academy International winner lands Blancpain Endurance seat..

Developments in imaging technologies such as breast MRI and automatic ultrasound may help to individualize cancer detection and improve survival workflows that enable risk-adapted approaches on a routine basis Download your print version here The idea of personalized breast cancer screening could be widely adopted in clinical routine in the coming years While current screening programs are still based almost exclusively on digital mammography moving toward multimodal imaging workflows that take better account of individual disease risk and possibly detect more cancers with a lower error rate This was illustrated by experts at the Breast Care Day at this year’s European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna There are two reasons for the trend toward diversification of screening: One is that several new imaging technologies have recently proven their usefulness for breast cancer detection – for example The other is the growing awareness that the course of breast cancer not only varies between individual patients but also brings with it individually specific requirements for image-based early detection One already well-established example in medical care is the intensified screening of women with a particularly high genetic cancer risk If mutations are present in the breast cancer genes BRCA1 typical disease progressions and radiological characteristics can be identified explained Chantal Van Ongeval of University Hospitals Leuven Tumors resulting from a BRCA1 mutation that are often aggressive and appear early in life require regular MRI checks in carriers from the age of 30 while additional mammography plays a particularly important role in changes in the BRCA2 gene BRCA2 tumors often begin as ductal carcinoma in situ which is typically accompanied by radiopaque microcalcifications and can then be easily detected by mammography MRI in combination with mammography forms the basis of screening in genetic high-risk constellations with ultrasound as a supplementary method in certain cases sonography even reduced the quality of radiological follow-up in women with regular MRI controls by increasing the number of false-positive findings without detecting additional tumors.[1] Even outside specific genetic risk constellations contrast-enhanced (dynamic) MRI could become more significant for cancer screening possibly even proving to be an alternative to mammography in certain groups of the general population “Population-based dynamic breast MRI is feasible,” emphasized Robin Bülow of Greifswald University Hospital who presented long-term results of serial MRI examinations as part of the Study of Health in Pomerania [2] at the ECR MRI is more sensitive compared with mammography especially for women between 45 and 49 years of age although this has to be demonstrated in more precise analyses A limitation of dynamic MRI lies in possible side effects of the contrast agent This disadvantage is avoided by diffusion-weighted MRI – an advanced method that generates images based on the diffusion of water molecules in tissue The approach can distinguish between benign and malignant lesions in the breast and sometimes even allows predictions of therapeutic success.Recent proof-of-principle studies show that the benefits of the method can be further enhanced if the extensive image data is evaluated with the aid of artificial intelligence increase the specificity of screening and help to distinguish false-positive findings from real tumors.[3] Such image-data-driven approaches are likely to be increasingly incorporated into cancer detection automated breast ultrasound could also play a key role in the implementation of personalized screening workflows mammography is significantly more flawed and at the same time the risk of cancer is greater which is why doctors then often perform additional ultrasound examinations Professor André Grivegnée of Jules Bordet Institute in Brussels presented a workflow at the ECR that minimizes the additional effort and can be implemented in everyday routines women with dense breasts are examined with an automated 3D ultrasound scanner immediately after mammography whereby the standardized image data can be evaluated automatically with the aid of a computer algorithm the radiologist then carries out a handheld sonography Grivegnée’s team developed and tested this multimodal imaging algorithm as part of an EU project on personalized breast cancer screening.[4] The benefits – and ultimately survival advantage – of more individualized risk-adapted early cancer detection are to be clarified in a multinational study currently underway in which Grivegnée and colleagues are also involved.[5] Depending on a personal risk score – including family history and genetic information – participating women receive either a mammography only every four years a mammography every one to two years with a possible additional ultrasound examination or – at the highest risk level – an annual mammography and MRI The assumption is that this graduated approach will lead to more effective cancer detection than existing screening programs The first participants aged between 40 and 70 are to be included in the study by the end of 2018 Martin Lindner is a science writer in Berlin The black-and-white artworks were created with wavelength prints on do (Poonah) paper Some of the artworks portray his grandparents while some others illustrate his memories about Vietnamese villages with water buffaloes and bamboo trees where my grandparents and parents were born That is why I use wavelength prints to depict life in Vietnam’s countryside " said artist Thy Nguyen Truong Minh.  Thomas Grivegnee,  an exhibition goer said: "Through the paintings made by Thy I have better understanding of his family’s past and Vietnam as well."It is the fourth exhibition by Thy in Belgium from Brussels-based ERG School of Graphic Research Born in the Belgian capital city in 1982 to Vietnamese parents he later decided to live between Brussels and Ho Chi Minh City He is also co-founder of “La centrifugeuse” or “May xay sinh to” (The centrifuge) an international art programme involving art schools jointly conducted by French-speaking Belgian community in Wallonie-Brussels and Vietnam in HCM City He is also a lecturer in visual arts at HCM City University of Fine Arts./
