| Today's News and Trends | Radiology has been lagging behind other healthcare specialties for quite some time when it comes to gender equality. Could the creation of groups for women in radiology (WIR) be a step in the right direction?

| The combination of multiparametric MRI and the recently revised Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADSv2) misses a “considerable number” of clinically significant prostate cancer (PCA) lesions, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. The authors noted, however, that the high positive predictive value (PPV) might make this method useful for imaging active surveillance (AS) patients.

| A team of researchers at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor is developing a new pill that could make tumors light up when exposed to infrared light. Could this someday be used in breast cancer screening?
