New Study Indicates Radiologists Need Standards to Ensure Optimal Visual Accuracy
Radiologists, like professional pilots for example, depend on good vision as part of their occupation. However, radiologists unlike pilots are not required to undergo regular vision testing. view more (2009-06-10)
PET-CT detects muscular lymphoma better than CT
PET-CT is better for early detection of muscular lymphoma than CT alone, according to a new study conducted by radiologists at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. view more (2007-05-07)
Additional mammogram readers improve breast cancer detection
Mammogram readings by both radiologists and non-physician technologists improve breast cancer detection rates, according to a study in the July 24 Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-07-25)
Over a quarter of interval cancers could have been detected during screening
Results from an exercise in rereading mammographies from the Norwegian Breast Cancer Screening Programme has shown that 27% of tumours found between screenings could have been detected from the mammograms, according to research reported at the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona on Friday 22 March. However the researcher leading the... view more... (2002-03-20)
Interventional radiology: From sidelines to mainstream for patients
The Society of Interventional Radiology hailed the extension of an American College of Radiology resolution in support of clinical patient management by vascular and interventional radiologists as an important reminder of the critical contribution these minimally invasive specialists bring to quality patient health care. view more (2009-05-13)
Radiologists overestimate their overall risk of malpractice lawsuits in breast imaging
Radiologists who work in breast imaging tend to overestimate their actual risk of medical malpractice lawsuits, according to a study performed at the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine in Seattle, WA. view more (2009-02-03)
By combining different CT views, radiologists can better evaluate the GI tract
Combined evaluation of transverse images-horizontal slices of a standing body-and multiplanar coronal reformats-vertical slices from head to foot-from CT scans give radiologists more information about the GI tract to better diagnose problems. view more (2006-05-04)
Residents play key role in CT colonography awareness and promoting the radiology specialty
Residents can serve a vital role in educating Congress, the medical community, and the general public regarding the efficacy of cutting-edge technologies like CT colonography (CTC) as well as the importance of radiologists' training and education and the role that radiologists serve in the provision of quality health care. view more (2009-10-29)
Patient photos spur radiologist empathy and eye for detail
Including a patient's photo with imaging exam results may enable a more meticulous reading from the radiologist interpreting the images, as well as a more personal and empathetic approach, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2008-12-02)
Radiologic signs more than double sensitivity of MRIs
Radiologists can make a more accurate preoperative diagnosis of damage to knee cartilage by using four radiologic 'signs', a recent study found. view more (2006-02-13)
Technology can't replace doctors' judgment in reading mammograms
Radiologists should not become too dependent on the use of computer-assisted detection (CAD) technology when reading screening mammograms because the doctors can see lesions that CAD sometimes misses. view more (2006-12-05)
Interpretation Time for Screening Digital Mammograms: Is it Efficient?
Digital mammograms take longer to interpret than film-screen mammograms, according to a study performed at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. view more (2009-01-07)
Researchers Develop New and Efficient Breast Biopsy Technique
Researchers have developed a new breast biopsy technique that could lead to decreased procedure times and reduced patient discomfort and morbidity. view more (2009-06-24)
New Model Developed to Estimate Radiation Skin Doses during CT Guided Interventional Procedures
A new model that would allow interventional radiologists (radiologists who specialize in fine needle aspiration, fine needle biopsy and radiofrequency ablation) to better estimate patient radiation skin doses during CT guided interventional procedures has been developed. view more (2008-11-04)
Radiologists find a technique to significantly reduce patient radiation dose during CT angiography
Radiologists have discovered that prospective electrocardiogram (ECG) gating allows them to significantly reduce the patient radiation dose delivered during computed tomography (CT) angiography, a common noninvasive technique used to evaluate vascular disease. view more (2009-09-21)
Appropriate timing in the use of breast shields in children can further reduce MDCT radiation dose
Using breast shields during pediatric chest MDCT reduces radiation dose and minimally increases image noise, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock. view more (2008-02-13)
Researchers set benchmarks for screening mammography
A recent study of medical audit data funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) revealed that community mammography screening results surpass performance recommendations across the United States. view more (2006-09-26)
Radiologists encouraged to look beyond cancer for clinically unseen diseases
Radiologists can diagnose venous thromboembolic disease (VTED) in cancer patients earlier by looking more carefully at CT scans of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis which are regularly done to determine the extent or stage of the cancer. view more (2007-08-15)
Second Look Ultrasound: Effective MRI Correlate for Identifying Incidental Breast Lesions Not Seen on Mammography and First Look Ultrasound
A second look ultrasound of the breast, used in conjunction with MRI, allows radiologists to identify lesions not detected on conventional mammography and first look ultrasound; in some cases it allows radiologists to determine whether or not a lesion is malignant or benign, according to a study performed at the University of Rome La Sapienza in... view more...

iTunes allows radiologists to save, sort and search personal learning files
iTunes has the ability to manage and organize PDF files just as easy as music files, allowing radiologists to better organize their personal files of articles and images, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Renji Hospital and Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine in Shanghai, China. view more (2008-07-21)
