| What does it mean for radiology now that more and more patients are gaining online access to their radiology reports? According to a new analysis published in Academic Radiology, the widespread adoption of patient portals helps radiologists increase their visibility and provide additional value.

| How common are incidental thyroid nodules (ITNs) in the U.S. screening population? And which ITNs should receive further evaluation? A researcher from Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, examined data from the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) to answer those questions, sharing her findings in a new study for Academic Radiology.
