Male breast cancer is rare, making up less than 1 percent of all breast cancers. However, radiologists and all imaging professionals must have as much up-to-date information on the detection and treatment of male breast cancer as possible.

The global market for artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging is expected to see significant growth in the years ahead, topping $2 billion by 2023, according to a new report from Signify Research.

A team at the University of Toronto has successfully developed artificial intelligence (AI) that helps automate the radiation therapy planning process, potentially saving radiologists from several days of work on just one patient.

Nonradiologists such as orthopedic surgeons are interpreting a growing number of musculoskeletal imaging examinations. According to a new study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology, however, radiologists are still performing a lion’s share of the work, including a much higher percentage of weekend reads and clinically complex patients.

North American radiology societies are suffering from a gender divide, according to recent research that found only 30 percent of society members in the U.S. are women, with a smaller proportion holding leadership positions.

Dozens of research papers and large-scale trials are evidence that interest in immunotherapy is growing among oncologists, according to an editorial published in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology • Biology • Physics, but that research won’t be able to grow without universal adherence to quality assurance (QA) standards for radiation therapy. For now, at least, that’s not the reality.

At a time when CMS is pushing physicians to check appropriate use criteria before ordering advanced imaging exams, new research suggests intensive care unit (ICU) providers often rely on a difference resource before placing an order: their instincts.

The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) is staying future-focused for its annual symposium in Chicago in November. According to a statement from the organization, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) will be playing an expanded role at this year’s conference.
