Most radiologists decide to pursue the specialty during medical school—particularly during their clinical years. But those who opt for radiology based on its financial benefits over intellectual stimulation are ultimately less satisfied in their careers, according to a report in Clinical Problems in Diagnostic Radiology.

The American Board of Radiology (ABR) made significant changes to its certification program for diagnostic radiologists in recent years, removing the oral component of the exam and relying on a standardized format with multiple-choice questions. This shift toward psychometric testing has made the certification program less reliable, according to a new analysis published by the Journal of the American College of Radiology, and the ABR should consider working with various stakeholders and education experts to change it.

As radiologists become increasingly familiar faces on news sites and in police blotters, one Indiana University professor is suggesting the physicians might be prone to law-breaking due to their steep salaries and a professional culture centered around compliance.

Patient care would improve if more interventional radiologists implemented endoscopy into routine practice, according to a new analysis published in Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology. Should more imaging leaders be working to offer these services?

It is common for cancer survivors to fear their cancer could return or progress at any time, and it's a feeling that takes a significant toll on both patients and their loved ones. According to a new commentary published in the American Journal of Roentgenology, this is an aspect of patient care that radiologists and radiology personnel don’t always spend enough time considering.

Diagnosing the source of lower back pain is notoriously difficult for physicians—current methods have been criticized as ineffective, inaccurate and unreliable—but a combined decision-making approach could help identify the problem with greater certainty and less fuss, researchers wrote in PLOS ONE this month.

Using optoacoustic (OA) imaging combined with conventional ultrasound (US) can help downgrade benign masses classified as BI-RADS 4A or 4B, according to a new study from Dutch researchers published in Radiology. This, the authors noted, could reduce the number of biopsies negative for cancer.

When primary care physicians refer adult patients for MR imaging for traumatic knee symptoms, it provides no additional value and leads to higher healthcare costs, according to a new study by Dutch researchers published in Radiology.
