More than 350 teams submitted results as part of the SIIM-ACR Pneumothorax Detection and Localization Challenge and were required to create algorithms to prioritize patients for quick review and treatment.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) has cheered the inclusion of a key provision to the No Surprises Act (HR 3630), new legislation designed to address the issue of surprise medical bills.

The Machine Learning Challenge on Pneumothorax Detection and Localization will kick-off at the SIIM 2019 Annual Meeting starting June 26 in Aurora, Colorado.

European researchers have reviewed a huge mammography dataset and found no association between screening mammography and a reduction in the incidence of advanced breast cancer. 

The American College of Radiology (ACR), Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) and major medical organizations experienced in breast cancer care continue to recommend that women start getting annual mammograms at age 40.

A study published March 18 in Annals of Family Medicine that detailed long-term psychosocial harms of false-positive screening mammograms is compromised by methodological irregularities, underplays the harm of a breast cancer diagnosis and does not address existing strategies used to minimize anxiety, according to statements by the American College of Radiology (ACR), the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) and breast imaging experts.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) and the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) have responded to a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine which concluded that 15 to 25 percent of cancers in the Norwegian mammography screening program are overdiagnosed, saying those overdiagnosis rates are overestimated, according to a statement on ACRs website.

In response to an erroneous media report, the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) released a joint statement urging patients to disregard trumped up risks of thyroid cancer due to mammography-induced radiation.
