Siemens Healthineers and HealthyWomen, a nonprofit focused on women’s health, have published the results of a new survey focused on patient comfort during mammograms.

Sometimes, no matter how calm and collected a radiologist’s demeanor might be, a patient is going to get upset. 

Researchers have developed an AI algorithm that can help identify patients who have suffered a stroke and would benefit from an endovascular thrombectomy.

“Fast MRI” scans, which use quicker imaging techniques and don’t require sedation or ionizing radiation, can identify traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in young patients, according to a new study published in Pediatrics.

Clinicians and patients can both be “nudged” in certain ways that improve decision-making related to imaging-based cancer screening, according to a new analysis published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) developed its Radiologist Well-Being Program to help radiologists and radiology trainees who feel they may be experiencing burnout or any other issues related to self-care. Lori Deitte, MD, and Claire Bender, MD, spoke with Radiology Business about this new program. 

Radiologists’ pay-raise rates are flat. Administrators are working hard to earn bonuses. Lots of technologists are looking for new opportunities, and few PACS pros are skimping on time off (but not many are overdoing it either).
