Radiologists are subject to a myriad of interruptions. These frequent disturbances increase reading times and reduce accuracy with potentially negative consequences for both patients and providers, according to a recent Academic Radiology study.

According to a longitudinal study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, depression relapse may be triggered by a patient's initial major depressive disorder (MDD) experience that causes morphologic changes in brain regions responsible for regulating emotions and cognitive control.

In 2009, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) revised its breast cancer screening guidelines. These changes may be one reason for a continuous decline in breast screening exams in the U.S. since 2010, according to results of a study published by the American Journal of Roentgenology.

By 2030, some 3.5 million Americans are expected to be living with total knee replacements. The price of performing total-knee arthroplasty (TKA) revision surgery continues to rise, costing 60 percent more than the initial replacement. Researchers set out to identify a more cost-effective method. By 2030, some 3.5 million Americans are expected to be living with total knee replacements.
