Understanding the power of being persuasive is important in any walk of life, including radiology. In a recent commentary for the Journal of the American College of Radiology, lead author Nupur Verma, MD, with the department of radiology at the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville, and colleagues explained how being persuasive can help radiologists find success and get things done.

Screening mammography is a reasonable surveillance tool for breast cancer patients treated with mastectomy and breast reconstruction with autologous myocutaneous flaps (AMFs), according to new research published in Radiology. Mammography provides little additional value, however, if the patient had reconstruction after a prophylactic mastectomy.

Planning around staff shortages in radiology might seem like a future inevitability for departmental directors, British researchers wrote in a Radiography study published this month. But employees’ greatest source of psychological stress doesn’t stem from a lack of colleagues—it comes from the uncertainty of a constantly shifting job market.

Out-of-pocket healthcare costs associated with breast cancer can already be enough to dramatically change a patient’s life. According to a new study published in Supportive Care in Cancer, those costs are even higher for survivors suffering from lymphedema.
