Diagnostic Imaging Staff

For this 10 Questions series, we spoke with Jonathan Flug, MD, MBA, about his job and the future of radiology.

Emergency department radiology services frequently are uncompensated among both uninsured and insured patients.

Knowledge of radiation safety among medical residents, including radiology residents, could be improved.

Preoperative imaging of patients with esophageal cancer by PET and MRI may provide higher accuracy in nodal staging.

Diffusion-weighted imaging helps physicians assess myeloma treatment effectiveness.

High resolution coronary CT angiography provides better results among patients at high risk for CAD than does standard resolution coronary angiography.

Reconstructed 2D images, with no radiation exposure, and tomosynthesis are comparable to full field digital mammography plus DBT in screening mammograms.

Incidental findings from diagnostic chest CT may help physicians identify patients at risk for cardiovascular disease.

Radiologists can help members of the public better understand cancer screening imaging exams by providing public educational talks or presentations.

Radiology resident recognized for research into compressing mammograms for accurate and speedy electronic transmission.

Using PET-CT compared with CT before surgery for potentially resectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer may not significantly alter surgical management.

Preoperative axillary ultrasound is effective in detecting invasive breast cancer in obese patients.

Radiation doses for pediatric head CT imaging can be significantly reduced through use of adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction technique.

Clinical data provided to radiologists via electronic health records can have a significant impact on radiological interpretations.

Diffusion tensor imaging shows differences in the brain between males and females who sustain concussions.

Fewer ultrasounds and biopsies were seen for women referred for breast tomosynthesis after recall for focal asymmetric density following screening mammography.

Radiation risk from mammography may be overestimated by women who may then avoid undergoing the screening examination.

Using automated dose tracking software allows clinicians to monitor the radiation doses used in the clinical setting.

Our “10 Questions” series asks the same questions to a diverse group of professionals in the medical imaging community.

Functional MRI has detected alteration in the areas of the brain that correlate with executive functioning,in boys with ADHD.

Images from 3T MRI help detect signs of Parkinson’s disease, inexpensively, and with no danger of radiation exposure.

Coronary CT angiography helps clinicians assess soft coronary plaque in patients with diabetes, identifying those who are at risk of cardiac disease or event.

Women who receive false-positive mammography results are still likely to undergo future testing.

Further strategies are required to reduce CT radiation doses used in diagnostic screening.

Pulmonary CT angiograms that detect coronary artery calcification can help predict acute coronary syndrome in some patients

18F-FDG PET more accurate than fMRI and may help physicians better determine the long-term recovery of patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome.

Diffusor tensor imaging (DTI) identifies regional white matter damage in the brains of people who sustained mild brain injuries.

Our “10 Questions” series asks the same questions to a diverse group of professionals in the medical imaging community.

As clinicians order more noninvasive cardiac imaging for patients with suspected ischemia, hospital admission rates and angiography rise.
