Dedicated spine CT in the acute clinical setting can be useful for catching fractures that might have been missed on an initial CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis, according to research published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology. But for the sake of time, money and resources, radiologists can expect visceral CTs to detect any injury needing surgical attention.

Researchers have developed a new “glowing” imaging technique that can diagnose tuberculosis (TB) within an hour, according to research published in Science Translational Medicine.

When it comes to major career decisions, radiologists whose choices are driven by intuition and self-care might be less prone to stress and burnout than those who base decisions on external influences and pressures, one physician wrote in a Journal of the American College of Radiology editorial this week.

Research from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has found light-emitting fragments known as alloyed upconverting nanoparticles, or aUCNPs, offer a unique window for radiologists to see deep into living tissue with little risk, potentially leading to high-precision radiation treatments.

Access to a visual aid boosts the confidence of radiologists as they manage contrast medium reactions, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. It also led to a slight drop in errors and helped participants administer intramuscular (IM) epinephrine more quickly.

Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have found that longer pelvic PET acquisition times during PET/MRI can improve the quality of care for patients with rectal cancer.

Health insurers in Kansas will be required to cover 3D mammograms starting next year, making it at least the eighth state in the U.S. to enact the policy, the Kansas City Star reported this month.
