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.

Radiologists are using DBT clinically and more frequently, but it still remains a limited resource.

Imaging with CT and coronary CT angiography shows prevalent and extensive presence of coronary artery plaque among men infected with HIV.

Breast emergencies are uncommon but require quick identification and management when patients present with complaints, such as mastitis and breast abscesses.

The numbers are in. Our 2014 Radiology Compensation Survey rounds up the data from a variety of members in the radiology community. How many hours are they working? How much money do they make? Are they happy with their career choice? Find out here.

Dual-energy CT may help clinicians diagnose gout when MSU crystals are not observed through polarizing microscopy.

Full-field digital mammography is associated with lower recall and biopsy rates, compared with screen film mammography.

Radiologists can reduce the number of unnecessary imaging procedures through quality improvement regarding the appropriateness of the tests.

Radiology report turnaround times are significantly faster after implementation of speech recognition software.

Use of nuclear myocardial perfusion imaging exams dropped sharply between 2006 and 2011, but substitute imaging studies haven’t increased.

Direct radiography photon-counting systems detect more smaller breast cancers and DCIS, but also cause more recalls.
