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.

Thorough prescreening evaluation is one critical element for a safe and successful lung cancer screening program.

DTI imaging shows women are more sensitive to these types of head impacts at the level of brain tissue microstructure.

Radiology practices with collaborative, consensus-based decision-making and conflict resolution processes can lead to greater standardization.

Underrepresentation is highly variable at state, county, and practice levels.
