Using a half dose of contrast with 3-T MRI for patients with early rheumatoid arthritis shows identical image quality as full-dose.

Physicians are increasingly demanding electronic interfaces with their imaging vendors. To do so, providers must look at new models like Web-based EMRs.

Radiology residents are facing high burnout levels, thanks to stress about finances. Here's what researchers found and what can be done.

Siemens Healthcare has received FDA clearance for their MAMMOMAT Inspiration Prime Edition lower dose mammography system.

iPads are helping radiology residents learn by providing access to online journals and texts, but they still have not become essential work tools.

Siemens Healthcare has received FDA clearance for its Virtual Touch imaging ultrasound application.

A video-based patient decision aid may help smokers make more informed decisions about undergoing CT screening for lung cancer.

Carestream received FDA clearance for a new wireless digital radiography detector designed for low-dose pediatric exams.

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center researchers developed imaging software that reduced radiation by 37 percent.

VIDEO: Bradley Erickson, MD, PhD, FSIIM, explains translational research and the challenges facing innovative radiology organizations.

Children’s risk from radiation exposure from CT scans drops significantly when dose from the highest-dose exams is lowered and unnecessary exams eliminated.

Contrast media with CT significantly increased radiation dose, so number and timing of contrast-enhanced scans should be optimized when setting protocols.

MR images detect heart damage in childhood cancer survivors who were treated with anthracycline-based regimens.

The use of mobile technologies in healthcare continues to grow, with staff accessing data on their own devices.

Waiting to jump head-first into the federal government’s meaningful use program? That might not be a bad idea, David Avrin, MD, said at SIIM.

Clinical decision support can assist multiple times in the medical imaging chain to improve efficiency and patient care, according to experts at SIIM 2013.

Very few HIEs transfer medical images, but that data together with an exchange approach that aggregates patient data will reveal HIE’s potential, say experts at SIIM 2013.

Certified imaging informatics professionals have gained ground in radiology and are a major topic at SIIM. Paul Nagy, PhD, explains how they can transform radiology practice.

IT experts, who will be presenting at the SIIM annual meeting, offer advice on how radiology practices can survive EMR implementation.

Data mining and analytics will again be a hot topic at the SIIM annual conference. Have you embraced analytics tools?

Radiologists need more education on radiation risk to help make decisions for patients who may need imaging tests but have a history of radiation exposure.

Minimal dose computed tomography finds far more new or recurrent lung cancers than X-ray in patients who had undergone resection of lung cancer.

The American College of Chest Physicians recently announced support of the use of low-dose CT to screen for lung cancer among people with a high risk.

Study confirms earlier findings that low-dose CT detects more lung cancer than chest X-rays and lowers mortality from lung cancer.

CT scans performed on children and adolescents may contribute to a slightly elevated risk cancer over the following 10 years.

Diffusion MRI has shown the interruption in development of the cerebral cortex among premature babies, compared with their full-term peers.

GE Healthcare this week introduced a new MRI technique designed to allow for more accurate imaging of soft tissue and bone in patients with metal joint implants.
