Five radiology groups and departments were awarded trophies at RSNA 2019 in Chicago last week for combining creative thinking with coordinated teamwork to develop an original breakthrough in medical imaging.

The team used a checklist based on American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria to dramatically reduce unnecessary knee MRI exams.

Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Thomas McCaffery noted that he could only provide provisional coverage at this time until federal regulations recommend DBT for breast cancer screening.

Among the new appointments is James P. Borgstede, MD, who will serve as president on the society's board.

Hospital radiology departments hoping to survive and thrive in healthcare’s volume-to-value era must get creative—and even somewhat aggressive—about growing their outpatient business.

Valerie P. Jackson, MD, president of RSNA, suggested that radiologists look within themselves, step out of the reading room and connect with others to move toward this “long desired goal."

The “Better and Robust Screening Today Act” would mandate the Department of Defense to cover DBT screenings, a modality lawmakers say is the best tool available for detecting breast cancer.

Gadolinium-based contrast agents were found in multiple areas of the brain's cerebral cortex, central to cognition, regulating behavior and consciousness, according to research published in Radiology.
