The ARRS also presented Jonathan S. Lewin, MD, with the Gold Medal for 2019 during its annual meeting in Honolulu.

Contrast-enhanced subharmonic imaging (SHI)—a new technique for imaging of microbubble ultrasound contrast agents—detected prostate cancers not identified by traditional MRI, according to a recent study presented at the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) 2018 Annual Meeting.

New research suggests emergency patients are often given unwarranted CT scans to check for skull fractures and brain hemorrhage, resulting in wasted healthcare dollars and increasing exposure to radiation, according to an American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) press release.

Tracking the fate of 200 unsolicited manuscripts rejected in one calendar year by the American Journal of Roentgenology, a researcher has found that the majority—117 manuscripts, close to 60 percent—eventually found a home in other scientific journals, according to an analysis running in the June edition of that very journal. 

Despite the many benefits of CT imaging—early diagnosis, enhanced diagnostic accuracy, improved outcomes, etc.—a small number of cancers resulting from patient exposure to radiation from CT scans can have a big financial impact on treatment costs, according to results of a study recently presented at the annual meeting of the American Roentgen Ray Society.

In response to a September 2015 report from the Institute of Medicine detailing diagnostic errors in healthcare, including unacknowledged radiology recommendations, researchers from Boston University decided to see just how pervasive the problem was within their institution.
