Welsh men may be at a disadvantage compared to other countries in the United Kingdom when it comes to early diagnosis of prostate cancer. According to Prostate Cancer UK, availability of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) is significantly lower in Wales than England, its neighbor to the east.
Implementation of a complete tablet-based curriculum positively impacts the motivation, satisfaction and engagement of radiology residents, according to findings published in Academic Radiology.
Chest tomosynthesis can accurately detect pulmonary nodule growth, according to a new study in Academic Radiology, but clinicians must be aware of certain factors that may influence its accuracy.
Though not often the first line of defense, clinicians should consider endometrial cancer screening using either CT or MRI after a patient undergoes radiation therapy for cervical carcinoma, Portuguese researchers argue in the first-ever study published on the subject.
Researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena have developed a single-breath-hold photoacoustic CT (SBH-PACT) system that can image a patient’s breast in 15 seconds and requires no ionizing radiation or contrast agents, sharing their findings in a new study published by Nature Communications.
Wearable fitness trackers aren’t just for the gym anymore, the Guardian reported this month—according to a group of California researchers, the devices can track health information indicative of how cancer patients will react to chemotherapy.
Though it’s not yet approved for use in clinical trials, research out of the University of Cambridge has found that computed tomography of the joints could be a more accurate, less invasive alternative to x-ray for monitoring patients with arthritis.
New technology known as “time-harmonic elastography” allows physicians to assess the severity of liver disease without resorting to invasive biopsies, a team from Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin in Germany announced in a Radiology study this week.
A team of Hong Kong scientists led by Kwok Ka-wai, PhD, have developed the world’s first intraoperative MRI-guided robot for bilateral stereotactic neurosurgery, opening new doors for less invasive, safer and more accurate treatment of conditions like Parkinson’s disease.
Just more than a month after it was revealed that 450,000 women around the age of 70 were not sent invitations to participate in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) breast screening program, women in London are being forced to delay screening due to ongoing staffing problems.
Applying an alternative deep learning, assessment-based approach to radiology education could help trainees better retain information for use in future work, according to a study published in Radiography this month.
Research from the last 17 years shows that biparametric MRI (bpMRI) gives radiologists an accurate tool for detecting prostate cancer (PCa), according to a new meta-analysis published by the American Journal of Roentgenology.
An MRI study out of California has found excessive social media and addictive video games can have an effect on children’s brains similar to that of drug abuse or alcoholism.
The majority of Americans prefer to undergo cancer screenings to rule out disease, regardless of risk factors involved or potential harmful consequences down the road, University of Missouri-Columbia researchers have reported.
The radiology department at Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina, has joined the Radiology Partners Research Institute (RPRI), a research collaboration between Radiology Partners and various academic medical institutions.
Radiologists make similar breast density assessments using synthesized mammography (SM) and standard or full-field digital mammography (FFDM), according to a new study published by the Journal of the American College of Radiology.
Arterial spin labeling MRI may offer a noninvasive alternative for quantifying cerebral blood flow without the use of contrast agents—a necessity for patients with illnesses like kidney disease, researchers wrote in a Radiology study this June.
Smokers and diabetics might be at a heightened risk for developing hippocampal calcifications—abnormal buildups triggered by vascular disease—according to a Radiology study published this week.
A noninvasive imaging technique combined with fractional flow reserve (FFR) showed the potential to detect functionally significant lesions in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD), according to a study published June 11 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
