Medical responsibility in screening activities. In 1992 a national breast cancer screening programme was launched by the ministry of health in Luxembourg. This programme refers to the "European Guidelines for quality assurance in mammography".

Clinical, hormonal and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) predictors of transsphenoidal surgery outcome in acromegaly.

Objective: Progress in the treatment of acromegaly with drugs is making it necessary to improve the prediction of the outcome of transsphenoidal surgery.

Design: We evaluated clinical, hormonal and radiologic predictors based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of surgical outcome in patients with acromegaly.

Methods: This retrospective analysis included 125 consecutive patients investigated for acromegaly in a single endocrine unit since the use of MRI imaging began (1988).
