A recent piece in the New York Times analyzed early results of the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study covered during CBS’s “60 Minutes,” which associated increased screen usage with lower scores on aptitude tests and further brain processes.

“If radiologists are expected to utilize machine learning models safely and effectively for imaging interpretation, education for all levels of background and experience will be required, and a formalized machine learning curriculum targeted toward early career radiologists and trainees is urgently needed," Monica J. Wood, MD and colleagues wrote.

A deep learning algorithm developed by researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, segmented abdominal CT images to determine body composition similarly to, and at times, better than trained radiologists.

A new technique called three-compartment breast (3CB) imaging, which determines the biological tissue composition of a tumor by using mammography, may help reduce unnecessary breast biopsies, costs and patient anxiety, according to a new study published online Dec. 11 in Radiology.

A new fMRI study showed evidence that the imagination can be a central tool in helping people to overcome their fear and anxiety-related disorders. The results were published in the journal Neuron.

Radiologists are burned out—that’s no secret. Minimizing distractions and organizing time can help radiologists become more efficient and reduce those symptoms of burnout, according to a recent study published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology.

The Right Scan Right Time patient and survivor community network of the Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA) met with Senators at Capitol Hill last week urging for permanent repeal of the medical device tax, according to a recent MITA news release.

Revamped guidelines on screening for breast cancer promote shared decision-making between women and their doctors. The new instructions were released by the Canadian Task Force on Preventative Health Care and published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

With the development of a new three-dimensional (3D) printing workflow, researchers at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University in Boston may help cardiologists produce more proficient implantable heart valves and determine how different sized valves interact for each patient before surgical intervention for aortic valve replacement, according to a Dec. 10 report by the 3D Printing Media Network.

Imaging orders sent via electronic health records (EHRs) have less complete—and consequently less reliable—patient information than those found in physician notes on the same patient in the same EHR, according to research published online Dec. 5 in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association.
