To reduce healthcare costs and improve radiologist job satisfaction, clinicians at Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine are proposing a new role akin to the physician’s assistant: a radiology extender.

Specialists outside of radiology—cardiologists and vascular surgeons, for instance—have started interpreting more and more lower extremity venous duplex ultrasound (LEVDU) examinations in the last few decades. However, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, radiologists still interpret more LEVDU examinations that occur over the weekend than nonradiologists.

Gadolinium accumulates within the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients exposed to gadobutrol, according to a new study published in Radiology. The accumulation, the authors noted, was observed in patients with normal renal function and intact blood-brain barriers (BBBs).

A novel, flexible MRI component hit the national stage this week in the form of a glove, New York University researchers report. It is delivering science’s first-ever clear images of bones, tendons and ligaments moving together.

After patients have a subcortical stroke in the right hemisphere of their brain, more than one in three experience cognitive decline. That decline may be the result of damage to specific pathways in the brain, according to a new study published in Radiology.

The American College of Radiology (ACR) announced Wednesday, May 9, that Geraldine McGinty, MD, MBA, is this year’s recipient of the William T. Thorwarth Jr., MD, Award.

Football is largely the focus of discussions concerning athletes and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), but could that be starting to change?

If patients aren’t dressed appropriately when they undergo MRIs, they can suffer significant burns during the procedure. Due to small metal threads in the material, yoga pants and other similar clothing are a becoming a prime culprit.

As the sheer volume of medical imaging data across U.S. healthcare continues to soar, and as burgeoning technologies like AI and enterprise imaging continue to gain altitude, imaging informatics professionals working in healthcare find themselves challenged to keep up. For this reason, many repeat attendees of the annual meetings of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine are likely to find SIIM 2018 among the most consequential in memory. Cheryl K. Carey, MBA, the organization’s new executive director—installed last November—took questions from RBJ during the runup to the event.
