Reviewing 20 years’ worth of data, researchers have found children with Down syndrome are imaged more often than others and, in the process, get exposed to significantly more ionizing radiation.

Radiology can participate only sporadically in CMS’s current conception of value-based care. Why?

Patients appeared to show little interest in the offering, presenting an "important quandary" for the specialty, according to a new study. 

Skipping radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery would mean patients get to avoid the side effects linked to radiation exposure. 

Continued improvement in imaging techniques and development of clinical practice guidelines may further reduce the need, experts noted. 

Physicians can sometimes overlook low-contrast lesions, such as hepatic metastases or pancreatic adenocarcinoma, on computed tomography scans. 

A team of specialists tracked CT utilization before, during and after the 2022 shortage, sharing its findings in the American Journal of Neuroradiology.

Serious discrepancies between preliminary imaging reads and final radiology reports are at risk of accumulating when the prelims are rendered during overnight hours.
