Cardiac sonographer Maddie Jankowski, BS, ACS, RDCS, joined us to explore key trends and updates for sonographers from ASE 2023 in National Harbor, Maryland. 

Breast radiologists are known to have higher rates of burnout in comparison to many of their peers, but the beginning of the pandemic brought this group something not often encountered within the specialty—downtime. 

Although the predictive power of radiomics has been touted as a tool that could improve patient outcomes, the method has a long way to go before it can be reliably introduced into real-world clinical environments.

Radiology education researchers have created an image-intensive online course for third- and fourth-year medical students wishing to learn radiology remotely.

The randomized, double-blinded phase 3 study revealed gadopiclenol to be noninferior to gadobutrol for all qualitative visualization parameters as rated by all blinded readers involved in the trial.

New data derived from the survey responses of fourth year medical students reveal a significant gap in students’ exposure to and knowledge of the specialty. 

Gaps in mentorship are of particular concern for students who might have otherwise pursued a career path in IR, data show.

A new meta-analysis revealed that up to 26% of FEP patients display intracranial radiological abnormalities on MRI, some of which can alter clinical management.

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are working on developing measurements that will provide better insight into soft tissue properties visualized on portable MRI images. 

This could pose as a barrier to referrals for image-guided interventions for radiologists specializing in IR, authors of a new paper in Clinical Imaging suggested.
