Despite recommendations, shared decision-making for lung cancer screening in practice may be far from what is intended by guidelines.

Older age, multiple traumas lead to missed injuries on whole-body CT.

Despite undergoing more imaging outside the VA system, men with low-risk prostate cancer don’t show an improvement in care quality.

Better to leave an old job – and boss – as friends than enemies

More research needed to evaluate the role of communication in completing the breast cancer screening episode.

The number of patients who underwent daily chest radiographs was associated with the hospital where they received care.

Models may help improve short-term understanding of complex anatomy and classification systems.

18F-FDG PET/CT examination procedures may be optimized with improved patient information and care.

Clarity in recommendations leads to a malignant diagnosis in a substantial number of cases.

Cardiac training among radiologists should be encouraged.

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.

Likelihood of malignancy did not differ between boys and girls.

Imaging could potentially decrease biopsies negative for cancer.

The use of synthesized mammography instead of additional full-field digital mammography has no significant effect on biopsy rate.

Interventions targeting radiologist factors may help reduce unwarranted variation in screening recalls.

There is no clinical variable that can be used as sole indication for WBCT in pediatric polytrauma patients.

The pattern of excess cancer risk may be partly due to confounding by indication.

Missed cancers include some that are clinically significant.

Imaging the brain for iron levels may help predict disability in MS patients.

Neuroimaging for nonindex seizures, based on clinical factors at presentation, could decrease imaging frequency with minimal loss of yield.

PSA-density does not appear to significantly improve its diagnostic performance.

The procedure also maintains acceptable visualization at 3T.

Further large-scale investigations regarding efficiency of the messaging system are warranted.

Why should physicians have all the quality-assurance fun for themselves? Let everyone experience the joy.

Patients on hemodialysis had significantly higher DN and GP signal intensity increase.

Errors are often corrected before notes are signed.

Ultrasound may detect which patients are at minimal risk of sentinel lymph node metastasis.
