Radiologists and ED physicians at Brown University have developed a simple, five-category system for triaging imaged emergency patients based on their radiology reports, and the team’s test of the system has shown very good interobserver agreement.

Patients suffering brain damage after cardiac arrest may benefit from MRI, which could predict clinical outcomes by mapping brain activity.

BI-RADS, developed by the American College of Radiology, changed how radiologists and specialists communicate with its implementation in the 1980s. A group of researchers aimed to develop a structured prostate MRI report to improve communication between radiologists and referring urologists.

Radiology research is maximally influential when it’s conducted collaboratively and the contributors hail from multiple disciplines, institutions and geographic locations.

Hospital-based clinicians are not well-versed in the specifics of radiation exposure and risk to patients sent for imaging, but a brief education session may be all it takes to bring them up to speed.

The U.S. Army has hired a brain-health company to develop and supply a portable ultrasound system for assessing traumatic brain injuries on or near the field of combat.

As internal medicine practitioners continue to increase their use of point-of-care ultrasound—aka POCUS—these physicians need to clarify how they intend to use the technology going forward.

A semi-retired radiologist who gained renown in the 1990s by tracking the performance of rads working under his chiefship at Kaiser Permanente—and firing or reassigning those who didn’t measure up—has completed a study on how best to repair divots on golf courses.
