Personalized breast cancer screening programs could help women better understand their personal cancer risks and guide providers in recommending mammographic assessments based on these risks. 

These devices have been tested with lower MRI fields, like 1.5T and 3T, but less is known about their compatibility with more powerful 7T equipment. 

Researchers recently presented a new method that considers how already existing lesions grow over time as an indicator of disease progression.

And the method does not come at the expense of diagnostic yield, an uptick in adverse events or increased procedure times.

Structured communication feedback systems between radiologists and intensive care unit physicians can significantly reduce instances of adverse events. 

While electronically cropping an image may seem like a harmless act, the habit is not without unintended consequences, the authors of a new paper recently explained.

The radiologist involved in the incident indicated that the department’s burdensome workload resulted in reduced reading times, saying that this made their departmental standard of double reading scans “virtually unattainable."

“Without a clear reference standard technique that optimizes patient outcomes, device selection is based on availability and physician-driven selection, which can substantially impact procedural costs,” authors of a new cost analysis in Clinical Radiology stated.
