Outpatient no-shows for scheduled imaging exams can cost a radiology department at a standard U.S. academic medical center as much as $1 million in lost revenue per year, according to a study published in Academic Radiology.

A convolutional neural network (CNN) model performed as well as clinicians in classifying the area of concern in retinal fundus images and provided evidence for why those choices were made—a common problem for artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

A study, 20 years in the making, found that stressful environments for children and adolescents can have long-lasting impact on neurological development. The research—published June 15 in Nature, Scientific Reports—found that continued exposure to stress contributes to slower maturation of the brain during adolescence.  

Ronald Grusd, MD, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison Monday after he fraudulently billed California insurance companies more than $25 million while also paying kickbacks for patient referrals from clinics in San Diego, the Times of San Diego reported.

Researchers from Sweden have developed a fully automated PET spatial normalization method for amyloid-β (Aβ) imaging that may reduce interpretation variability among readers and monitor the effectiveness of patients treated with anti-Aβ drugs—a promising step for Alzheimer’s research.

A recent investigation by Prostate Cancer U.K. has found half of men have been denied MRI scans to detect prostate cancer, according to a recent report by the Daily Mail.

MIT researchers have developed an artificial intelligence-(AI) based algorithm that can register three-dimensional (3D) images 1,000 times more quickly than standard medical image registration techniques.

The Medical Imaging and Technology Alliance (MITA) submitted formal comments June 11 to the Energy and Commerce Committee applauding the organization’s investigation into medical device vulnerabilities and outlined suggested policies to advance cybersecurity for legacy medical imaging equipment.

Young video game addicts may have more than just a pair of strong thumbs, as new MRI research suggests excessively playing video games can have the same effect on children's brains as drug abuse or alcoholism, according to a recent article published by The Telegraph.

The semi-automated, quantitative 3D approach—joint space mapping (JSM)—detects small changes in joints and is both accurate and precise in measuring joint space compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) radiography.
