Algorithm may help better predict how likely it is a woman will have cancer in her future.

Biggest obstacle in ultrasound training is lack of dedicated faculty time.

Motion correction has potential to affect diagnosis or patient care.

MRI measuring carotid artery wall thickness could aid in cardiovascular disease risk assessment.

Several lesion patterns were significantly associated with poor long-term neurocognitive and psychiatric outcomes.

The two screening methods have similar sensitivity and specificity in finding microcalcifications.

Many of the MRIs were of poor quality and could have been performed elsewhere.

Thirty-two men participated in the retrospective study.

The contrast-enhanced CT also improves lesion conspicuity over standard care of monophasic portovenous CT.

Tomosynthesis plus breast volume scanner could be replacement for breast cancer staging if MRI cannot be performed.

Most states require at least some women to receive information about breast density-and that information is leading to more conversations.

Algorithm also enhanced physicians’ performances when used as a second reader.

Child Centered Care could be a cost-effective way to reduce general anesthesia needs.

Breast radiologists will need an algorithm for addressing the small number of inconclusive findings that remain equivocal.

Moving to a fully automated protocol would allow for more widespread implementation of the assessment.

Biggest increase in retroperitoneal, soft tissue, and transabdominal GU studies.

D-dimer tests and prediction rules should be incorporated into a decision support tool to curb overordering of CTPA for suspected pulmonary embolism.

Clinical and imaging biomarkers were associated with intracranial thrombus recanalization among patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Coverage for prostate MRIs results in challenges for patients and referring physicians seeking to obtain ready access.

MRI after 12 weeks of therapy predicts complete pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Etiology of liver disease and CT technique did not affect staging accuracy.

Imaging is often one of the first targets of budget cutters, but patient care may suffer as a result.

RT-PC MRI yields velocity distributions across the entire vessel lumen.

FDG PET-CT imaging could be of additional value when disease recurrence is suspected despite negative or equivocal CT findings.

Play your cards right to get the best deal.

Findings are due to higher spatial resolution and comparable equivalent doses.

The retroperitoneal space planes count was not useful for the diagnosis of complicated appendicitis.

Screening at age 40 detects more stage 1 breast cancers.

Only 11 children out of 80 who participated in the study required anesthesia.

Cardiac stress tests and exposure to radioactivity may not be needed for assessment of CAD.
