Across racial and gender groups, CT scans that measure coronary artery calcium can more accurately predict the 10-year risk for heart attack.

MRI offers high sensitivity and specificity, as well as positive and negative predictive value in detecting infection without the radiation.

Imaging volumes fell farther across most modalities in outpatient imaging centers and are taking longer to rebound.

The University of Cincinnati launched a 10-week program that led the department back to roughly 100-percent pre-COVID-19 levels.

Severe intimate partner violence is five-fold higher this year than in the previous three – radiologists have the opportunity to proactively identify at-risk patients.
