| Today's News and Trends | University of Virginia researchers found that radiology trainees benefit the most from a commercially available clinical decision support (CDS) program being implemented into an electronic health record, which overall improves the appropriateness scores of ordered imaging studies significantly.

| Lead author Seth Seabury, PhD, from the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, and colleagues determined that there are "significant gaps in follow-up for patients with mTBI after hospital discharge, even those with a positive finding on CT or who continue to experience post concussive symptoms."

| Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee have used a new imaging technique to visualize cellular damage to the retina caused by diabetes. The method, tested in a mouse model, may aid in understanding diabetic retinopathy—a leading cause of blindness.

| A group of German researchers found diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI provided superior prognostic information compared to PET/CT in liver cancer patients who underwent 90Y radioembolization and proved more accurate in predicting overall survival in these patients.

| Researchers from the Guerbet Group and the University of Münster in Germany recently found that 75 percent of the total gadolinium found in the cerebellum of rats after the injection period of the linear contrast agent gadodiamide was still retained after one year.

| Health insurance giant Anthem implemented its controversial imaging policy in Colorado last fall which has limited CT and MRI coverage for the nearly one in five patients with private insurance in the state, according to a Denver Post report. Some experts question the motivation of the move.
