Mammography screening is down among younger women since the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) updated its breast cancer screening guidelines in November 2009, according to a recent study published in JAMA Surgery. This includes women with a history of breast cancer.

No matter how much safety planning and training occur in a radiology department, accidents can still happen in the MRI suite—and they are often dramatic and unpredictable. An article published online Aug. 24 in the Journal of the American College of Radiology details the experience of a team from the University in Seattle in implementing training and risk management procedures.

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic have discovered a new subtype of multiple sclerosis (MS), according to research published in Lancet Neurology. These findings, they said, highlight the importance of developing more sensitive imaging techniques for real-time evaluations of brain pathology.

Back in January, a 32-year-old man from Mumbai, India, died after being sucked into an MRI chamber while holding an oxygen cylinder. More than seven months later, the fate of the two hospital employees suspended due to the incident remains unclear.
