Overburdened imaging departments and staff shortages are compromising the efficiency—and communicative abilities—of U.S. radiologists, one clinician wrote in the Journal of Radiology Nursing this month. But radiology nurses might be undervalued as resources in the fight to ensure quality care.

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.

Biopsies of renal masses can safely be performed at the same time as image-guided tumor ablation (IGTA), according to a new study published in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology.

Many women are skeptical about the concept of undergoing risk-based breast cancer screening, according to a new study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.

Multi-trauma patients over 30 years old, as well as those with severe injuries or wounds across three or more body parts, see an increased risk for missed injury during early whole-body CT interpretation, according to research published in Radiology.

Early-stage breast cancer survivors treated with whole breast irradiation (WBI) are at a greater risk of developing a secondary cancer than patients treated with accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI), according to a new study published in Radiotherapy and Oncology.

A large-scale study funded by the National Institutes of Health and published this week in JAMA Internal Medicine found mailing fecal immunochemical test (FIT) kits to socioeconomically underserved patients at risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) led to a nearly 4 percent increase in CRC screening. 

Subspecialization may be growing in radiology, but generalists are still responsible for the majority of invasive procedures performed by radiologists, according to new research published in Radiology.

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.
