Diagnostic Imaging: A Look Ahead
What to expect this week on Diagnostic Imaging.
Here's what is coming soon to Diagnostic Imaging:
Diagnostic Imaging is launching a new feature, bringing you a preview of what to expect from our weekly coverage. This week on Diagnostic Imaging, you can expect to see coverage of a number of hot topics:
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and Diagnostic Imaging is devoting a great deal of attention to bringing you the latest news in breast imaging. Look for our interview later this week with Christoph Lee, M.D., MS, MBA, a professor of radiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine and provider with Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. Lee shared with us the latest advancements in breast imaging, as well as his insights on how artificial intelligence can enhance breast cancer screening.
