| Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, have developed a novel x-ray imaging technique for visualizing materials too thick to be imaged by existing methods. The team wrote about its findings in a recent paper published in Optica.

| A new study suggests coronary CT angiography (CTA), in addition to standard care in patients with stable chest pain, lowers death rates from coronary heart disease (CHD) or nonfatal myocardial (MI) infarction at five years, compared to standard care alone.

| The preparation period was long. Hopes and fears were high. Three years into the ICD-10 era, how is radiology’s day-to-day implementation stacking up against those early expectations and prognostications? (And is ICD-11 already in the works … really?)
