Low-Dose CT Screening for Never Smokers; PET Imaging and Hormone Therapy; Opportunities, Responsibilities, and Challenges for Women in Radiology; and Advances in Thyroid Cancer Imaging

Using imaging to screen asymptomatic individuals can cause more potential harm than good, Task Force reiterates.

Research MRI images reveal information in 61-year-old COVID-19-positive patient that is similar to that captured by CT.

Can you diagnose this patient with pain and sepsis?

Hormone therapy is only effective in roughly half of estrogen receptor-positive cancers. Being able to identify patients that will not respond could save valuable treatment time.

Research data reveals using LDCT with patients who have never smoked – but who are still at high risk – is effective for lung cancer screening.
