Nurse practitioners and physician assistants have started performing more and more imaging-guided procedures, but what about diagnostic imaging interpretations?

Many diagnostic radiologists with lifetime certificates choose not to participate in the American Board of Radiology (ABR) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program, according to new findings published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. Does this mean they have negative feelings about the program?

When physicians place orders for imaging examinations, they often leave out key information that could help the radiologist provide better patient care. The authors of a new analysis published in the European Journal of Radiology have proposed a standardized grading system, the Reason for exam Imaging Reporting and Data System (RI-RADS), that could combat this issue.

Healthcare providers should offer risk-reducing medications such as tamoxifen, raloxifene and aromatase inhibitors to women at an increased risk of breast cancer or low risk of experiencing adverse effects, according to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).

As health systems and medical societies continue to emphasize value-based care, the day may come when radiologists are expected to disclose medical errors and even apologize directly to patients.

Patient care delivered by diagnostic radiology residents is associated with higher costs and slower turnaround times, according to new findings published in Academic Radiology. However, residents can still make a positive impact by providing “correct and comprehensive” reports and timely after-hours care.

Being exposed to low-dose ionizing radiation is associated with an increase in pediatric patients' risk of developing cancer, according to a new study published in JAMA Network Open.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) has shared a statement on new research that found imaging utilization is on the rise.

Many radiologists believe patient-provider discussions about screening mammography and supplemental screening are inadequate, according to findings published in the Journal of Breast Imaging. The specialty appears ready to step up and take a more visible role in patient education.

In a whistleblower lawsuit recently unsealed by a federal judge, ProScan Imaging has been accused of using physician assistants instead of radiologists to read MRI scans.
