The FDA announced Wednesday, March 27, that it is taking action to “modernize” breast cancer screening in the United States by amending the Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992 with a new proposed rule.

People often think of radiologists spending all day in their reading rooms, keeping to themselves as they interpret studies, but the specialty has worked hard in recent years to shatter that reputation.

The average annual compensation for radiologists in the United States is $429,000, according to a new report from Doximity. Radiology was ranked 10th among all specialties included in the report.  

The PI-RADS Steering Committee, a collaboration between the American College of Radiology (ACR), European Society of Urogenital Radiology and AdMeTech Foundation, has published a new update to its Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS).

The combination of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and synthetic 2D mammography is as accurate as DBT and full-field digital mammography (FFDM), according to new findings published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. It also exposes the patient to much less radiation.

A convolutional neural network (CNN) can differentiate between benign and malignant breast masses on ultrasound images with high accuracy, according to new research published in the Japanese Journal of Radiology.

7T MRI scans of patients with focal epilepsy can provide valuable information missed by 3T scans, according to new research published in PLOS ONE.

The passage of breast density notification legislation leads to improvements in ultrasound utilization and cancer detection, according to new findings published by the American Journal of Public Health.

Researchers have developed a new convolutional neural network (CNN) that can predict the presence of breast cancer with the accuracy of an experienced radiologist.
