The technique—known as 3D cartilage surface mapping—detects subtle changes in a person’s knee joint that cannot be picked up via conventional x-ray or MRI.

If everyone would have logged in and downloaded their exams over the two-year study period, both users and the institutions could have saved a good chunk of change, according to new research.

Lead researcher Majid Fotuhi, MD, PhD, also said that completing a baseline MRI before these patients leave the hospital is “imperative" to their future treatment.

The American Society for Radiation Oncology recommendations cover indications and best practices for using external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy in the postoperative and definitive settings.

Half of all imaging experts involved in the study reported symptoms such as irritated eyes, ocular fatigue, and headaches, among many other discomforts.
