Patients who underwent chest radiography as part of their annual health visit were more likely to go to an additional outpatient pulmonology visit or receive an abdominal or thoracic CT scan.

The drop in imaging volumes has disrupted these key educational experiences, but New York University School of Medicine docs have replicated traditional side-by-side collaborations with great success.

These radiology resident-led interactions improve patient care, image ordering and relationships with other providers, experts wrote recently in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology.

"The unjust treatment of people of color must stop," the Radiological Society of North America said in a recent tweet. 

The Virginia Board of Medicine labeled Michael Bigg “incompetent to practice medicine and surgery" in its 61-page report issued earlier this month.

Much of the drop is due to radiologists forgoing abdominal radiography, gastrointestinal fluoroscopy, and nuclear imaging, experts reported Tuesday.

Radiology trainees and attendings found relocating workspaces into reading "pods" overwhelmingly positive, and some aspects may be in place for the long-term.

A majority of research has been focused on subspecialists, but generalists are key to facilitating patient access to a number of radiology subspecialities.
