EIBIR has named Dr. Francesco Sardanelli from Milan, Italy, as the new lead of the EuroAIM initiative, a network to assess radiological technology. EuroAIM was set up to assist in the formation of consortia to perform meta-analyses, i.e. pooled analyses of existing prospectively collected datasets using individual patient level data from completed studies. Data that have been collected in studies in the past are re-analysed under different aspects and in correlation with data from other studies. This can be helpful to improve the power of studies, to improve the generalisation of results, to explore differences across settings, and in forming collaborative teams for future prospective studies.
