The variables involved in minimizing radiation exposure during CT imaging are many—but simply placing a patient off-center can result in a surface dose increase of 12 to 49 percent and negatively impact image quality.

A long-standing agreement between three rural Montana hospitals—Monida Shared Imaging—recently added a second mobile MRI unit to bring state-of-the-art equipment to areas that would have been without, Kpax.com reports.

A group of New England researchers analyzed patient narratives, finding clinical codes and communication breakdown as the most common reasons for complaints, with no significant difference between multifactorial and single-coded complaints.

In what could be a surprise to experts and industry leaders, a recent survey from Accenture has suggested that consumers are more optimistic about the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine, according to a recent article by Harvard Business Review.

Effective communication between medical imaging providers and pediatric patients and guardians about radiation risks remains problematic, despite improvements in imaging technology and protocol optimization, according to an article published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

Clinicians might be saved time and improve their diagnostic accuracy when deep learning is applied to echocardiography, according to a recent article from Cardiovascular Business (CVB) regarding this year's American College of Cardiology annual meeting in Orlando.

Diagnostic error remains a major setback to improving the quality of radiology and overall interpretation of imaging examinations. What consistently induces diagnostic error is a radiologist's cognitive bias, according to a recent article published in the American Journal of Roentgenology.
